I took my two sons to the zoo in Hiroshima. We went on a Friday morning and it wasn't very crowded to start with we left around just after lunch time and it was pretty crowded.
The parking was easy and the admission is not very expensive. We all thoroughly enjoyed the zoo. I would highly recommend bringing your children.
My first visit to Asa Zoo was an absolute highlight of my trip to Hiroshima! The park layout is beautifully designed with spacious, natural enclosures that give you fantastic views of the animals, including the majestic elephants and impressive lions. It is clear that animal welfare is a top priority here, as the environments look clean and well-maintained. The grounds are incredibly peaceful, surrounded by lush greenery, making it a wonderful and relaxing place to walk through. Booking tickets in advance via Klook made entry completely seamless and stress-free. I highly recommend this zoo to anyone looking for a fantastic, family-friendly day out in the city!
It’s really nice zoo, it wasn’t crowded on the weekday in October. I really liked it. Drawback was I get that they close the bird exhibit because of concerned about the spread of flu, but the entire western animal exhibit which is like half the animals was off-limits and it was closed so really kind of put a damper on things. On the plus side you were able to at least be able to see like the the tiger and the lion but everything else off-limits.
But on the other negative said they also got the trail closed off so you can’t see the zebras or the giraffes either. So it’s like a lot of the big draws. You really just can’t see any of which is really disappointing. I mean it’s not like I can’t see zebras or draft back national zoo in DC but still…
That said despite it’s really out of a way location the cost of emission is a really good value. And a lot of the animals are very easy to see. You don’t have too much glass obstructing views or fading views. It’s a pretty open zoo. Overall, I would definitely recommend it and come back here.
Highly recommend. Wide parking lot(come earlier than the opening time so you can park near the entrance), lots of animals, cheap tickets. There's a picnic area so you can bring your own food.
