#日本景点 Located in Nagasaki, Bio Park is a zoo where you can get up close and personal with animals. It is a super open zoo where you can buy food to feed the animals at your own expense in different areas. The animals are very enthusiastic ❤️ to interact with humans, very energetic, and so cute that you will melt your heart. In addition to being able to get up close and personal with animals, Capybara is a major selling point. If you go there in winter, you can also see the natural hot springs prepared by the park for them, providing a comfortable hot spring pool for the cold-fearing Capybara, which is very considerate. Friends who like animals must go there. #travel #日本景点 #日本 #动物

It's a fun spot (*´ω`*) #Zoo #NagasakiBioPark #NagasakiTrip

I went to Nanatsugama Limestone Cave. It had been a while since I last visited, so it was a bit chilly, but it was fun. Afterwards, I drove around and stopped at a cafe. There were so many cute, delicious-looking cakes lined up, it was hard to decide what to eat. I like chocolate, so I chose chocolate. It was delicious♪

#newyearnewtrip Animal lovers, you got to visit the Nagasaki Bio park. This attraction is so much fun and there is so much to see and do here. As an animal lover myself, I was impressed with the number of species of animals that are kept in this zoo and how well kept and healthy the animals are. I liked that the enclosures were close to us, and we could have a good view of all the animals. We were also allowed to enter in some of the animals enclosures and be close to them and even touch and play with them. My family and I learnt so much about these special animals and their natural habitat. The only bad thing about the zoo is that it may be alittle old and run down and there's alot of uphill walking. Otherwise, nagasaki bio park is huge and we saw animals like monkeys, bats, parrots, alpacas, kangaroos, hippos and many more. Love our time here!

#newyearnewtrip Catch the capybaras cuddled up together as they have a soaking good time in an onsen bath. You can catch them doing so at an open air bath area at the nagasaki bio park. These capybaras will soak themselves and relax in the warm onsen waters during the winter months of December till February. It's a cute sight to see. At this zoo enclosure, the capybaras are free to roam and visitors can go near these animals and pet or touch them. You may even feed the capybaras by purchasing their food. These capybaras are not only cute and kawaii but they are also very friendly and tame in nature. Come spend some time with these capybaras at Nagasaki Bio park.

#newyearnewtrip My family and I had so much fun at Paw Pet Animal world in nagasaki Japan. This attraction is like a petting zoo where you can have upclose encounters with different animals. There are no enclosures or cage that separates you and the animals, they are allowed to roam freely and you are allowed to pet or touch these animals. The place may be small but we love how close we can be to these animals and some of it include your billy goats, rabbits, chinchillas, parrots, guinea pigs, owls, etc. You may see some exotic animals such as snakes, huge lizards and a sloth inside too. The animals are tame and they don't bite when touched. It was educational as we learn more about the different animal species and how they felt as we touched and pet them.

🦥 Nagasaki Bio Park I've been to a lot of zoos, but this one is by far my favorite and I enjoy it no matter how many times I go🩷🩷🩷 The best thing about this place is that you can feed most of the animals.ᐟ.ᐟ For those who love feeding animals, it's like heaven😇🌈 The capybara and squirrel monkey areas are especially fun. Capybaras are just so cute. It's so relaxing. Capinoyu is... too cute... The squirrel monkeys are cute, but they jump on your shoulders and heads from all sorts of directions to get food, so if you don't like them, be careful. LOL This is a recommended spot for animal lovers. ᐟ.ᐟ.ᐟ.ᐟ.ᐟ.ᐟ 📍2291-1 Nakayamago, Nishisonogi-cho, Saikai-shi, Nagasaki-ken, 851-3302 #0yentripJanuary2025

When I went there in April, the cherry blossoms were very beautiful🌸 The cherry blossom festival was happening at the time, so there were small stalls where you could buy drinks and food, and it was crowded with many people who came to see the cherry blossoms!! The lawn was also very well maintained, so the children were having fun playing there!!

#JapanTravel ⭐️MAHALO⭐️ is a bakery and Airbnb accommodation in Nagasaki. There aren't many accommodations nearby, so it's one of the essential accommodations to visit when traveling to Ikeshima or other islands and inland areas. The price is reasonable and it's well-maintained. And the breakfast is really great, so I definitely recommend eating it. 🎯75 Osetocho Yukinourakamigo, Saikai, Nagasaki 857-2327 Japan #Nagasaki #Bakery #Accommodation #mahalo

I went there with my child for the first time in several years. Nagasaki Bio Park. It's a little over two hours by car from Fukuoka city. You can get there smoothly using the highway and toll roads. The park opens at 10am, but it doesn't seem to be that crowded even on holidays. Naturally, there are a lot of families. It was our first time with our child, but our 4-year-old walked well and didn't need to be held. There are places throughout the park where you can feed the animals. Prices range from 100 yen to as much as 300 yen for the more expensive ones. If you keep turning the food gacha at your child's request, you'll run out of coins in no time. It is often not possible to exchange coins, so I recommend that you prepare several thousand yen's worth of 100 yen coins in advance! In addition to the fee, there are times when the zookeepers distribute food, so it's a good idea to check the schedule carefully and plan your visit accordingly. You can feed flamingos and kangaroos, which are rare. You can touch them! It's fun. The hottest spot is the squirrel monkey forest. The snack is popped rice crackers. They know the visitors' movements, so they will jump on you as soon as you enter. Screams are heard all over the park, but don't be scared. You have to give them one snack at a time while being careful not to let them steal your snack. They don't come near small children, so it seems like a good idea for children to feed the squirrel monkeys riding on adults from the side. There are hand-washing stations all over the park. There are also shops where you can eat and drink in various places. The toilets are not very clean. (The deterioration of the buildings is noticeable overall.) Also, there are animal scum everywhere. That can't be helped. New shoes and sandals for women are not suitable. There is a shoe washing area outside, so be sure to wash your feet before getting in the car! We had a change of shoes, so we put our dirty shoes in a bag to take home and wore sandals. (I stepped in so much dirt at the shoe washing area that it didn't come off, but it can't be helped lol) It says you can go around in 2 hours, but there are so many paid points that it's not enough time at all. If you want to interact with the animals properly, you should stay twice as long lol It was fun. I'll go again✨ #NagasakiBioPark

Huis Ten Bosch is overwhelmingly famous for Nagasaki trips, but it can be quite difficult to get around with the After 3 or After 5 Passport. You can enjoy Bio Park in about 2 hours, so it is highly recommended as a sightseeing spot between Nagasaki trips. There is also a free shuttle bus right in front of Huis Ten Bosch, so if you make a reservation in advance, it is very easy to get around. Many animals live in the park in a nearly free-roaming state, and you can have a lot of feeding experiences. Parrots and monkeys appeared along the way, and you could also feed ostriches and capybaras, which was much more fun than I expected! ! There are few people on weekdays, so you can take your time to explore. You can only buy food with 100 yen coins, but you can exchange it at the shop at the entrance to the park. I exchanged 2000 yen, which was just enough. The park is large and there are quite a few elevation changes, so it is better to avoid heels. There are also many photo spots. We even had the chance to ride on the animals' backs, which was a rare experience. #NagasakiTrip #NagasakiTourism

Nagasaki Bio Park It's large and has elevation changes, so it takes a while to walk around. Please wear comfortable shoes. It's close to the zoo, so you can feed the bats and have them sit on your shoulders, so you can feel close to them! I was surprised that there were no fences or glass around the bats 😵💦 There are quizzes along the way, so it's a zoo you can enjoy even while you're moving around. #Nagasaki #NagasakiBioPark #Zoo
