Nogeyama Zoo is a beloved free-admission zoo located on a hill in central Yokohama. It houses over 100 species, from big cats like lions and leopards to giraffes, elephants, and a large monkey enclosure. The zoo is known for its close-up viewing opportunities and educational programs. A highlight is the children's petting area where kids can interact with goats and rabbits. The park-like setting also features cherry blossoms in spring, making it a pleasant spot for a family outing.
