Komoro Zoo — Attraction in Komoro

懐古園内にある小規模な動物園です。懐古園の入場自体にも入場料が必要であるため、自動的にこの動物園の入場も有料です。展示されている動物のほとんどは、ウサギやブタ、ペンギンなど、典型的且つ比較的体躯が小さめの動物ですが、ライオンやクジャク等、市区町村運営の小規模動物園ではあまり見られないような大型もしくは珍しい動物も少なからず展示されています。 典型的な、市区町村が運営する公園内の動物園であるため、敷地もそれ程広くはなく、周遊するだけであれば30〜40分程度で済むと思います。動物の展示方法も典型的で、檻の外から動物を鑑賞するものがほとんどで、動物の生態や行動様式の観察というより、動物そのものの鑑賞に留まっている、という印象です。イベント開催でも無い限り基本的に動物に触れることは出来ず、専用のふれあいコーナーもありません。 アトラクションとしての期待はし過ぎない方がいいですが、あれこれ考えずゆったりと過ごせるスポットの一つであると思います。

This is a small zoo located within Komoro Castle Site Kaikoen Park. As admission to the park itself requires an entrance fee, admission to the zoo is also charged. Most of the animals on display are typical, relatively small animals such as rabbits, pigs and penguins, but there are also a number of large or unusual animals on display, such as lions and peacocks, which are not often seen in small zoos run by a city. As it's a typical zoo in a park run by a city, the grounds are not very large, and if you just want to walk around the park, it should only take about 30 to 40 minutes. The way the animals are displayed is also typical, with most of them being viewed from outside their cages, so it gives the impression that the zoo is more about admiring the animals themselves than observing their natural behavior and ecology. Unless there is an event being held, you basically can't touch the animals, and there is no dedicated petting corner. It's better not to have too high expectations of it as an attraction, but I think it's one of those spots where you can relax and spend time without thinking...

The worst zoo I’ve seen in my life. We were depressed after going. The animals are alone, in extremely small cages, without any nature. They really seem bored to death. There is even a dog in cage, as well as a horse - pure nonsense. Don’t support these kind of cheap zoos that don’t care...

Disturbing place. Many animals have tiny compartments with almost no place to hide and no enrichment. Wish I could release the fox and tanuki from their cages with a concrete floor and bench-and-blanket in the corner. They looked very stressed in such...
