"Drive-Through Safari" can be enjoyed comfortably regardless of the weather, whether in summer or winter. However, as the temperature rises, the animals retreat to cool spots such as the shade of trees, rocks, and caves to escape the heat. Humans can enjoy the drive-through comfortably at any time, but if you want to observe active animals, it is better to aim for a day that is not too hot or too cold. You can also rent a GPS navigation system at the entrance to the safari zone, and observe the animals in front of you while listening to the ecology of the animals in front of you in the car. "Lions live with one male and several females..." As I looked at the lions while listening to the navigation, I saw that there was indeed one male and three females taking a nap. I thought, "I see!"

Himeji Central Park is divided into a safari park and an amusement park. Even though they are in the same park, it is so large that it is difficult to move around without a bus (there is a park shuttle bus) or your own car. The amusement park is a nostalgic amusement park style where you purchase a ticket for each ride (300-500 yen) and hand it over to an attendant to ride. We recommend purchasing a free pass if you plan to play for the whole day. ■Address 1434 Kamiya, Toyotomi-cho, Himeji-shi, Hyogo Prefecture ■Access 25-minute bus ride From Himeji Station to Himeji Central Park [Bus fare] 550 yen for adults, 280 yen for children #Theme park #Himeji Central Park #Safari park #Amusement park #Retro spot #Quintessa campaign

Walking Safari Himeji Central Park Walking Safari Animal Attraction At three points, the first flying cage (capybara), the savanna terrace (herbivores), and in front of the elephant exhibit (elephants), you can see animals up close and hear about their ecology and environment. Feel free to ask any questions about the animals. You can also experience feeding them. You can feel the cuteness, beauty, and power of the animals in front of you. I love the mini pig and chicken zone, so I always end up staying there for a long time. I was surprised when I first heard about it, but did you know that mini pigs are 40-100kg and pigs are 100kg and up? By the way, the mini pig zone is the same as the chickens. The mini pigs are very gentle, and you can see them resting next to the chickens. ■Address 1434 Kamiya, Toyotomi-cho, Himeji-shi, Hyogo ■Access 25-minute bus ride From Himeji Station to Himeji Central Park [Bus fare] 550 yen for adults, 280 yen for children #Theme Park #Himeji Central Park #Safari Park #Quintessa Campaign

The horse corner next to the capybara house and the pony house You can experience feeding and horse riding (from 14:00). The ponies were fed carrots, but the horses' food was special food inside a monaka! You buy food at the feeding area and fold the monaka in half by hand so that the horses can eat it easily. You put the folded monaka in a frying pan provided and present it to them, but the horses are so powerful that even adults are scared. Even though you see them on TV, when you see them in front of you, they are not only big, but also have amazing muscles. ■Address 1434 Kamiya, Toyotomi-cho, Himeji-shi, Hyogo ■Access 25-minute bus ride From Himeji Station to Himeji Central Park [Bus fare] 550 yen for adults, 280 yen for children #Theme Park #Himeji Central Park #Safari Park #Quintessa Campaign

Hey everyone 🥰, summer vacation is here! Looking for an amazing place to take the kids or have fun yourself? Highly recommend Himeji Central Park in Himeji City, Hyogo Prefecture, Japan! This large amusement park is divided into three main areas: the water park, the roller coaster 🎢 zone, and the zoo. Today, let’s talk about the water park~ We arrived at 10 AM on a weekday, and surprisingly, there were still parking spaces available—super convenient 🚗. Tickets for adults are around 4,000 yen, though prices may vary slightly depending on the season and date. Keep in mind that the ticket only covers the water park; the zoo and roller coaster areas require separate fees. We only had time to enjoy the water park that day, but it was more than enough to satisfy us! The park has well-equipped changing rooms, showers 🚿, and even swimwear drying stations—so thoughtful. During this season, you can also catch fireworks 🎇 at night, adding a touch of romance! Whether you’re planning a family trip or hanging out with friends, this place is perfect. Don’t wait—plan your visit and enjoy a refreshing and fun-filled summer here 💦!

・A complex theme park with an amusement park, safari park, pool (summer only), and ice rink (winter only). This was my first time there, but I enjoyed it all day. Even though I went on a holiday, it wasn't crowded, which was the best thing about it. ・It's also good value for money as you can enter the pool and safari park (private cars only) for just the entrance fee. ・The safari park is interesting because of the closeness that can only be achieved by private car. ・There are five full-scale pools for adults, including a 100m slide, so it's fun to enjoy.

Himeji Central Park is very similar to Kyushu Zoo. You can drive there or take a sightseeing bus. However, the self-driving route here is more appropriate. The self-driving route is from carnivorous to herbivorous, and you can stop and watch at any time. After parking, you can walk to watch. You can feed various animals, including bears and tigers. Finally, take the cable car to retrieve the vehicle at the foot of the mountain! There is also an amusement park nearby, as well as a swimming pool and fireworks in the summer! You can play all day long!

🐯A historic amusement park and zoo, the environment for the animals is very good, there is no anxious circling, proud lions, and cute camels. 🦁It is recommended to visit the zoo before going to the amusement park. Because it takes a long time to get from the amusement park to the zoo, the safari bus can only be taken once and cannot be toured, and it is also impossible to walk there. 🦒Also, you can drive through the zoo. Drive-through safari allows kids to drive and see animals up close, so the kids are very excited! You can also feed the giraffes for 300 yen per time. 🦏It is recommended to arrive early so that you can enjoy the view without too many people. #Osaka Attractions

#cherryblossom2024 ✌️🤗While relishing in the blissful moments of our holiday, I set off on an exhilarating adventure to the lively city of Japan. The onset of spring had bestowed a sense of magic upon the surroundings, and we felt invigorated as we meandered through the famous Himeji Castle. Exploring the opulent scenery of this picturesque sanctuary, we were enthralled by the mesmerizing views that greeted us at every corner, evoking a sense of awe and wonder. The arrival of spring bestows upon us the opportunity to embark on a truly gratifying journey to Himeji Castle in the enchanting Hyogo prefecture. This resplendent architectural marvel, renowned as one of Japan's most illustrious castles, holds the esteemed title of being a designated Unesco World Heritage Site. However, it is the captivating allure of the castle's surroundings that will undoubtedly captivate your senses. As you wander through the castle grounds, your eyes will be transfixed by the breathtaking sight of approximately 1,000 sakura trees, their delicate blossoms casting a spellbinding contrast against the castle's pristine white facade. The grand and captivating sanctuary has left a lasting impression in the innermost depths of my consciousness. The sheer delight of returning and cherishing each moment in this incomparable haven is truly unmatched.🌼🌸✨️#mytravelhacks #historicallandmarks #localguides #familytrip #trip

This is a long-established amusement park that celebrated its 40th anniversary this year. The admission fee varies depending on the season and day of the week, but it is around 4,000 yen for Safari Land and skating, and an additional 3,000 yen for unlimited rides. It is quite expensive if you go with your family, so I think it is more economical to enter with just the admission fee and pay for the rides individually. Skating is included in the admission fee, but you need to rent skates for 600 yen. You don't often have a chance to skate, so I recommend you try it. You can enter Safari Land by car, so even if you have small children, you can relax, and the excitement inside the car is exciting. At the end, you transfer to a gondola to the animal interaction zone, where feeding the giraffes is especially recommended.

The park is mainly divided into two main parks: 🎡Amusement Park and 🦁Zoo After entering the park build the building first purchase the safari bus ticket on the left side of the entrance Buy early and you can choose a time to get on the bus 👍🏼 This time we mainly went to see the animals And the kids are smaller So the playground part skipped directly😂 The Safari bus will tour the beast area 🦁🐯🐆 and the herbivorous area 🐫🦙🐐🦏🦛🦓🦬🦒 On the way, the driver will stop briefly in front of the animals so that everyone can observe the animals After the safari bus will go to the zoo area You can walk Watch and feed different animals up close 🦘🦚🦩🦦🐒🐻🐧🦉🦆🐖 If you hit the right time you can also feed lions, tigers🤭 On the return trip, you have to take the shuttle bus back to the playground area Then take bus [74] out of Himeji city The drive is about half an hour But the shifts are sparse Remember to plan your trip 😉 Transportation Guide - Take bus [No. 74] from Bus Stop No. 14 at the north exit of Himeji Station (i.e. towards Sumiji Castle) Food and Drinks - The park has a restaurant, snack bar, and vending machines Shopping Guide - There is a large gift shop next to the main entrance, with a large number of animal stuffed animals, models, and animal-shaped food gift boxes for visitors to choose from #overseastravel #familygoodplaces #travelgoodplaces #travel #parentsblogger #zoo #Kansaifreetrip #Himeji City

Himeji Central Park Giraffe feeding experience (300 yen) There are giraffes at the entrance to the ropeway at Fureai no Kuni, and you can feed them (carrots and bread)! You can feed them directly with your hands, so you can get very close to them (even adults will be hesitant to do so). These giraffes are very considerate and kind? And they try not to lick our fingers? ? They tried to make slight adjustments with their tongues trembling to eat only carrots and bread. (Your fingers will get sticky with the giraffe's saliva, but the hand washing area is a little far away, so it's a good idea to bring wet wipes with you) ■Address 1434 Kamiya, Toyotomi-cho, Himeji-shi, Hyogo ■Access 25 minutes by bus From Himeji Station to Himeji Central Park [Bus fare] 550 yen for adults, 280 yen for children #Theme park #Himeji Central Park #Safari park #Quintessa campaign

I recommend this spot where you can take a break while being soothed by capybaras. ○Capybara Café ・Drink bar system (free drinks) 500 yen ○Capybara Shop ・Capybara-focused stuffed animals, miscellaneous goods, sweets, etc. There are several benches and chairs where you can rest, so you can watch the capybaras to your heart's content while drinking coffee. ■Address 1434 Kamiya, Toyotomi-cho, Himeji-shi, Hyogo Prefecture ■Access 25 minutes by bus From Himeji Station to Himeji Central Park [Bus fare] 550 yen for adults, 280 yen for children #Theme Park #Himeji Central Park #Safari Park #Quintessa Campaign
