[Sendai City, Miyagi Prefecture] “Yagiyama Zoological Park Fujisaki no Mori”! The limited-time night zoo and “interacting” with animals are attractive!

"Sendai City Yagiyama Zoological Park" has been named "Yagiyama Zoological Park Fujisaki no Mori" since April 2020 by Fujisaki Department Store, which has its main store in Sendai City, and is familiar to locals and tourists. This is an animal park run by Sendai City that can be enjoyed by a wide range of people, from families to couples.

It takes about 12 minutes from Sendai Station to Yagiyama Zoological Park Station on the Tozai Subway Line, or 17 minutes by car, and is home to popular animals such as giraffes and elephants, as well as lions, polar bears, Sumatran tigers, and red pandas. I am.

There is also an area where you can actually interact with animals, such as touching goats and sheep, and even feeding elephants.

``Night Zoo'' where you can meet animals at night

Since 2007, the park has been open at night as the "Night Zoo" every August. Normally the park closes at 4:45 p.m., but on three days in August it will be open from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. (last entry at 8:15 p.m.). The park is decorated with colorful lights, creating a magical atmosphere.

Every year, more than 15,000 visitors are recorded, and it is especially attractive that you can observe the so-called "nocturnal" ecology of animals that are slow during the day but become active at night.

Have lunch at the stylish "Goo Goo Terrace"!

For lunch, we recommend "Goo Goo Terrace" in the park. The name Goo Goo is a combination of the English word good and the French word gout, which means taste.

The cafe mainly serves pizza and pasta, and has a very stylish atmosphere. You can enjoy authentic pizza and pasta that rivals specialty stores. In addition to the regular Margherita (800 yen), the pizza options include a corn-filled pizza (850 yen) and an Ortonara pizza (890 yen).
