These animals used to range from Tanegashima island to Yonaguni island (Ryukyu range).
The Zoo has been a popular leisure spot not only for the local people but also for foreigners
who are engaged in the American bases in Okinawa.
Weekday visiting is recommendable as it will be crowded in weekends.
You might be able to see an elephant walking around the facility or the training of running Yonaguni horse which you can not see in weekends.
In Nature Land, a section of the zoo, you can see Okinawa original animals. Time passes slowly here and you can feel at ease. It is a nice attraction to see lively faces of various animals here in the Nature Land under the tropical climate." />
