Kagoshima City Hirakawa Zoological Park 🐯

Store name: Kagoshima Central Station

Hello, everyone!
This is Nishijima from the Kagoshima-Chūō Station store!

 

Today I would like to highlight the “Kagoshima City Hirakawa Zoological Park,” Kyushu’s premiere zoo that I visited the other day!

 

After driving a car for about 40 minutes from Central Kagoshima towards Chiran and Ibusuki, you will arrive at the Kagoshima City Hirakawa Zoological Park 👌

 

A large giraffe will greet you immediately at the entrance!

This giraffe is very friendly, and as you can see from this photograph, you can get really up close!

Plus, if you’re visiting Hirakawa Zoological Park, don’t forget the white tiger!

Even with a glass panel between us, a white tiger walking up close was definitely a spectacular sight to behold!!

 

The zoo offers even more animals for both adults and children to enjoy! Definitely recommended 👍

 

Thank you so much for reading through until the end!
