Fuji Safari Park
富士サファリパーク
A drive-through safari park on the slopes of Mt. Fuji. From jungle buses, you can feed lions, bears, and other animals up close.
The park is located on the southern slope of Mt. Fuji in Susono City. About 70 species and over 1,000 animals roam free across grassland. Visitors can drive through on their own or ride animal-shaped jungle buses (an extra fee applies, and advance reservations are recommended on weekends). From inside the bus, you can feed lions, bears, and giraffes through the protective railings. On foot, there are interactive areas with red pandas, capybaras, and more. Adult tickets start at about ¥3,200 (check the official website for current prices). Hours are roughly 9:00 to 16:30. From Gotemba Station or Mishima Station, the bus takes about 35 to 50 minutes. Driving is the most convenient option.
