Nogeyama Park & Zoo

野毛山公園・動物園

4.2Est. 90FreeYokohama, Kanto

Local Pick

Overview

A free hilltop zoo and park with harbor views where Yokohama families spend quiet weekends away from Minato Mirai.

Perched on Nogeyama hill above the Noge drinking district, this compact free zoo houses over 90 species in a surprisingly pleasant setting. The adjacent park offers tree-lined paths, cherry blossom groves, and panoramic views of the port. While tourists flock to the waterfront attractions below, this hilltop park remains a purely local family destination with a gentle, unhurried atmosphere.

Local tips

The reptile house is surprisingly excellent for a free zoo. Visit at feeding time (posted at entrance) when the tortoises and lizards are most active.
