At the Atagawa Banana Crocodile Garden, where there are various things to see, you can learn about plants with your child by looking at the various plants, such as "This flower bears fruit that can be used as a spice." Children who can't read yet can learn about plants by reading the explanations, and children who can read can learn about plants by reading the explanations themselves! My child can't read yet, so when he asked "What is this?", my mother relied on the explanations to explain everything. There are plants that are only found in places that are hard to see normally, so if you see them in person during summer vacation and then research them with drawings, it could be a good idea to do some independent research! #DomesticTravel #AtagawaBananaCrocodileGarden #BananaCrocodileGarden #Spices

Inside the Banana Crocodile Garden, there was a tropical rainforest!? Jungle. There are many jungle plants that you can only find on the other side of the world. Both my children and I were very excited to see plants that are bigger than the children's height and that we don't usually see. Even though it was a domestic trip to Japan, the jungle that you can go to without a passport was very fun and it was a wonderful place where you could see about 5,000 kinds of plants that you don't usually see. 1253-10 Naramoto, Higashiizu-cho, Kamo-gun, Shizuoka Prefecture 413-0302 Atagawa Banana Crocodile Garden #Domestic trip #Atagawa Banana Crocodile Garden #Trip with children #Jungle

This is the banana garden at Atagawa Banana Crocodile Garden. You can see bananas growing in a chandelier shape. It was my first time seeing a banana flower, and I was surprised at how different its shape was from what I had imagined. It's actually a spot with few people so you can relax, so if you go to Atagawa, be sure to stop by. You can enjoy various plants in the garden throughout the seasons.

Even if you have seen them in pictures, it is rare to have the chance to see coffee beans or cacao on the tree before harvesting. Atagawa Banana Crocodile Garden's orchard, there are many types of fruit that you see every day but have never seen in real life. The sign on the coffee tree explains about coffee beans, starting with the words, "Even though coffee is familiar, many people don't know how it grows on a tree." ○Atagawa Banana Crocodile Garden Orchard 1255-4 Naramoto, Higashiizu-cho, Kamo-gun, Shizuoka Prefecture 413-0302 #Atagawa Banana Crocodile Garden #Coffee #Cacao #Interesting explanation #Botanical garden

A greenhouse at the Atagawa Banana Crocodile Garden. Depending on the timing of the shuttle bus, you can enjoy it as if you had the place to yourself. There were also many air plants on display, which are famous for not needing watering. Their official name is Dilandsia, and they belong to the pineapple family. As it is a greenhouse, various flowers bloom throughout the year, so you can enjoy it any time of year. #greenhouse #botanicalgarden #gw2022jp

Atagawa Banana Crocodile Garden is home to about 120 crocodiles of 17 different species. In addition to the crocodiles, there are also bananas and a botanical garden. I was able to see banana flowers for the first time. Apparently, the greenhouse is heated with heat from Atagawa Onsen, so you can enjoy the beautiful flowers all year round.

A tropical fish aquarium in the main crocodile garden of Atagawa Banana Crocodile Garden. You can meet tropical fish that swim three times slower than you would imagine and are five times larger in person than they look in photos. The slow-moving fish and crocodile bones, the sound of water flowing in the quiet museum... it seems like time flows differently here. Some fish are interested in people, and if you get close they'll say hello from the front. But they're a bit... forceful... so I've included them at the end. The ones swimming around were probably doctor fish. There were no signs or notices, perhaps as a measure against infectious diseases. #aquarium #museum #tropicalfish #trip2022

An exhibition room near the entrance to the branch of Banana Crocodile Garden. There are serious exhibits here, including tropical plants and fruits, and of course the history and varieties of bananas. Banio encourages visitors to enter by feeding them red pandas. But inside, it's a serious museum filled with formalin-preserved animals. It has a somewhat school science lab feel. And I recommend Thermae Romae. Apparently, Banana Crocodile Garden appeared in both the manga and the movie. It might be fun to visit the photo spots. The parent and child penguins at the entrance are actually donation boxes. Please drop some in their bellies. #RedPanda #AtagawaBanio #DonationBox #Museum #trip2022

The Atagawa Banana and Crocodile Garden's banana greenhouse displays very rare island bananas. These are Senninsho bananas that live on the Ogasawara Islands, which are also registered as a World Heritage Site. When I visited, I was lucky enough to see the bananas growing. I was lucky to see the bananas starting to fruit and turning yellow, so they were almost ready to be harvested. Please visit the banana exhibition greenhouse to see the World Heritage bananas. And here, too, you can see the footprints of the red panda. There are more to come. #museum #botanicalgarden #AtagawaBananaAndCrocodileGarden #trip2022

I wasn't sure until the end if there were crocodiles or not😆 There was a crocodile-like thing in the tank, but was it real? It didn't move at all. Maybe it's because it's winter~ I also saw bananas🍌 growing. And above all, the red pandas are cute😍 The tortoises🐢 were surprisingly big‼️ I walked around the large grounds, thinking I'd come to see the crocodiles🐊, but it turned out to be a zoo and botanical garden, so it was fun😊 📍Location: https://maps.app.goo.gl/3eFqc4RAnVcKHPeM8?g_st=com.google.maps.preview.copy #0yentripFebruary2025　 #AtagawaBananaCrocodileAquarium #Crocodile #Banana #RedPanda

Located in Shizuoka Prefecture, it is a one-minute walk from Izu Atagawa Station on the Izu Kyuko Line. The zoo exhibits animals and plants such as crocodiles, bananas, red pandas, Amazonian manatees, giant tortoises, tropical plants, and water lilies. The zoo is the best place to see the crocodiles in all their glory. It's a little scary to see them so close, but it's a valuable experience. Not only the crocodiles, but the red pandas are also very cute and soothing. There is also a space in the zoo where you can eat desserts made with bananas. #Sakura2024 #AtagawaBananaCrocodileAquarium
