#The official name of the Ueno Zoo in Tokyo is Ueno Zoological Gardens, located in Ueno Park, Taito City, Tokyo. It was founded in 1882 and is considered the oldest zoo in Japan. The zoo has about 35.2 acres of area, with over 3,000 animals from 400 different species. Ueno Zoo has three convenient gates on three sides.

One of Japan’s most beloved zoos, Ueno Zoo includes many unusual animals, such as Hokkaido brown beans, Japanese macaques, and wild cormorants.

In the “Gorilla Woods” and the “Tiger Forest,” you experience the thrill of facing nose-to-nose with those amazing wildlife

The zoo is divided into the lush green eastern side and the western side featuring Shinobazu Pond.

It is home to various animals, from giant pandas, Asian elephants, gorillas, tigers, to giraffes. The zoo’s recent popular attraction is the “ statue-like” shoe-billed stork that can remain still for hours long.

The Five-storied Pagoda and the tea ceremony house give the zoo a Japanese touch.
The pagoda was built in 1631, rebuilt after destruction by fire, and in 1958 the owner, Kan’ei-ji temple, gave the pagoda to Tokyo Metropolitan Government, who assigned its management to Ueno Zoo. The tea ceremony house was built to entertain Shoguns in 17th century, and it stills stands as a historic structure in the zoo ground.
