[2025 Usa Attraction] Travel Guide for Kyushu Wildlife Park African Safari (Updated Aug)

📍 3 nights 4 days Fukuoka travel itinerary You can enjoy various small cities nearby during your trip to Fukuoka, but I went to Fukuoka city and some parts of Beppu and Yufuin with my child. ✨️ Day 1 (Hakata trip, Oriental Hotel Hakata) Arrive in Japan around 3 o'clock > Pick up rental car and check in > Amu Plaza shopping > Kiwamiya hamburger On the first day, I started my trip lightly by visiting the Amu Plaza Pokemon Center with my son who is crazy about Pokemon and eating Fukuoka's signature dish, Kiwamiya hamburger. ✨️ Day 2 (Beppu/Yufuin trip, Baien Garden Resort) After breakfast, we went to Beppu > African Safari > Yufuin > Ryokan I went to African Safari, one of the most anticipated travel destinations. There are two ways to view it: by safari car or by private vehicle, but I used my private vehicle. After that, I had a late lunch at Yufuin's famous restaurant Yufu Mabushishin, and after sightseeing in Yufuin, I spent the evening at a ryokan with kaiseki and hot spring bathing. ✨️ Day 3 (Tenjin trip, Cross Life Hakata) After breakfast, I went to Tenjin > Canal City Hakata > Lalaport > Yakiniku Koushi Dinner > Don Quijote I went to Fukuoka's representative shopping malls and ate delicious food. Personally, I was satisfied with the cost-effective Yakiniku Koushi Umakase that I had for dinner. ✨️ Day 4 (Return) I had a brunch near the hotel and returned home There was a famous restaurant Sabataro near the hotel where I could have breakfast, but for my son who doesn't eat fish well, I had gyukatsu at Akamiya Koushi and returned home. #Travel itinerary #Japan travel #Fukuoka travel #Fukuoka travel itinerary #Fukuoka 3 nights 4 days

📍 Kyushu Zoo Admission ticket including Jungle Bus: ¥3600 (~hkd217) I personally think this zoo is worth visiting! You can feed various animals that are usually out of reach, including lions. You can touch the more docile animals. Although you can't go to Africa to see the great animal migration, this has satisfied me🥹. As the largest wildlife park in Japan, there are wildlife areas and small animal communication areas in the park. You need to take the jungle bus to the wildlife area. The small animal communication area is more concentrated. After getting off the bus at the zoo, you will go directly to the ticket office. You can buy tickets for the jungle bus. After waiting for a while, you can get on the jungle bus. When getting on the bus, each group will be distributed with a portion of food to feed the animals. Most of the people on the bus are Japanese, only we are Hong Kong people😂. I can't understand Japanese at all, but I follow what others feed. I feel like I am in Jurassic Park when I drive. In fact, there are two sturdy iron nets and plastic sheets on the car for super protection. It's not that the animals are trapped in the cage, but we are trapped in the car. It's very interesting. The first stop is the more docile antelope. Everyone is already very excited. Then it's the black bear! ! ! : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : If you like small animals, you must come ✨ #GlobalTravel #100TravelWays #JapanTravel #Japan #FukuokaAttractions #FukuokaItinerary

The children's long-awaited trip 🦒🦓🐘🦘🦘 We drove from Oita Prefecture at 08:45 in the morning Arrive at the zoo around 09:00 There are already 20 cars in front of me😨 The zoo opens at 09:30 The queue was slow and took about 20-25 minutes Finally bought the 12:50 Jungle bus Let's drive into the park once I saw many animals moving freely up close The advantage of driving into the park is that you can park at any time Look at the animals and take pictures (of course there is no car following behind before stopping). However the animals know that there is no food in these private cars Can't walk too close Then we went to feed the small animals Buy carrots at your own expense to feed the horse Watch the kangaroo 🦘 touch the rabbit 🐇 feed the gold 𢇁𤠣🐒 Holding a guinea pig 🐹 also has a 🐱🐶 cat and dog experience pavilion... Then go to the restaurant in the park for lunch It's ramen 🍜 curry rice 🍛 dumplings 🥟 etc Taste normal buffet form of restaurants There is also a souvenir shop next to it where you can walk and buy After eating and walking, the time is just right Time to take the Jungle bus The leader first briefly explains what animals are fed with different foods It doesn't matter if you don't understand. There will be pictures to compare I fed lions 🦁 big black bears, elephants 🐘 camels 🐪 that day Also saw zebra 🦓 giraffe 🦒 bell sheep 🐐. Saw the animals rushing around the jungle bus It feels very different from self-guiding You can interact with the animals on the Jungle bus Kids are happy and excited is another kind of memorable experience #JapanTravel #FukuokaDrivingTour #Kyushu Zoo 🦁Kyushu Natural Zoo🐯 📍Japan〒872-0722 Oita, Usa, Ajimumachi Minamihata, 2−1755-1

Kyushu Natural Animal Park is located in Oita Prefecture and is an ultra-large wildlife park covering an area of ​​1.15 million square meters. In the "Wildlife Area" of the park, you can see lions, black bears, giraffes, rhinos, zebras, cheetahs, elephants, and more than 20 other species of animals up close. In addition to driving into the park by themselves, visitors can also take the animal-shaped "Jungle Bus" to the wildlife area. It takes about an hour to go around the park, passing through the black bear and alpine animal area, lion area, herbivore area, tiger area, cheetah area, and antelope area in sequence. The driver will even stop at spots where animals gather so that everyone can feed them! On the bus, you can watch the wild animals' every move from a very close distance, which is very thrilling. 📍Address: Minamihata, Anshinin-cho, Usa City, Oita Prefecture #Zoo #100 Ways to Travel

On this self-drive trip, we traveled from Fukuoka to Yufuin, enjoying the beautiful natural scenery along the way. The roads were not crowded, making the drive very comfortable. However, traveling with children can be challenging due to the long distances, so it's best to plan a stop at an attraction to stretch and take a break. That's why we included a visit to the Kuju Natural Zoological Park midway. The zoo is easy to find, and the animals are mostly free-roaming in their natural habitats, not confined to cages. The best way to tour is by vehicle. You can either take the park's sightseeing bus to view and feed the animals or drive your own car through the park, but you must keep the windows closed. We chose the latter, so we'll have to wait until next time to see the lions and tigers up close. The park wasn't too crowded when we visited, so even with self-driving, there was no traffic congestion. After seeing the savannah animals, you can also visit the indoor salon to pet dogs or cats, and for an additional fee, feed the ponies. These activities are separate from the car tour but offer a full experience, and the kids had a lot of fun. Petting the cats is not highly recommended, as they were mostly sleeping, and we didn't want to disturb them; it's better to just watch from a distance. Overall, the zoo offers great value for money and beautiful scenery. I highly recommend a visit! Address: Ajimumachi Minamihata, Usa, Oita 872-0722, Japan

📍Trip Overview A 3-night, 4-day trip from Korea to Fukuoka and Oita with a total of 7 people: 4 adults and 3 children (preschoolers). 🎡Desired Activities - Meals suitable for children - Meat, tempura rice bowls, sushi - Sanrio attractions - Hot springs - African Safari 🚩Itinerary [Day 1] Incheon → Fukuoka Canal City exploration, lunch: udon Ohori Park exploration, including Kujira Park. Rest at Starbucks. Dinner: motsunabe at Ooyama Main Store ▲ Stay at Henn na Hotel Hakata (Conveniently located near a rental car company and Don Quijote.) [Day 2] Drive to Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine Explore Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine, lunch: eel from Kyoto Drive towards Oita Encountered a minor issue, visited Beppu's Jigoku Meguri (Hell Tour) planned for Day 3 instead. Purchased tickets for two locations only. Shopping at a supermarket before heading to the accommodation. ▲ Stay at Sansou Shikian (Unexpectedly, about 70% of the guests were Korean. The atmosphere felt authentically Japanese and was enjoyable.) [Day 3] African Safari tour by private car. Animal interaction (2-hour stay). Yufuin's Yunotsubo Kaido Street exploration, lunch: casual street food. Drive back to Hakata. Dinner: yakiniku at One Karubi ▲ Stay at Dormy Inn Hakata (Personally, the location was not ideal, but the children enjoyed the large public bath.) [Day 4] Free time in Hakata (each family explored separately). Hakata → Incheon 🏖️Highlights Sansou Shikian is apparently well-known among Koreans. Located in the mountains without shuttle services, it was fortunate to visit. Guests enjoyed wearing yukata and experiencing Japanese culture. Additionally, the meals were excellent in both quantity and quality, making the stay worthwhile. ☔️Lessons Learned Not having an ETC card meant we couldn’t exit at the smart IC indicated by the navigation system, leading to detours. If you don’t have an ETC card, turn off smart IC guidance. Hakata has too many delicious options to try them all. Popular restaurants often have lines even on weekdays, so plan accordingly. 📝Final Thoughts Fukuoka and Oita are evidently very popular among Koreans, as seen during this trip. Next time, including attractions like dolphin shows, which are less common in Korea, might be a good idea.

Japan's largest safari park! The park is over 1.15 million hectares in size and houses about 70 species and a total of 1,400 animals. There is the most popular "Jungle Bus 🚍" where you can take the Jungle Bus to feed lions, tigers, bears, elephants and other animals... After the ride, you can drive in and take a walk ~ It's worth it 👍 Fukuoka Jungle Bus Adventure Tour🚍Feeding wild animals up close is super exciting! Take a super cute animal-shaped jungle bus (there are many different animal shapes on the front of the bus) and embark on a journey with wild animals🐯 ⚠️Suggestions⚠️＋Experience💖 ✅It is strongly recommended to arrive at the gate one hour early (it is recommended to arrive before the park opens) Please check the official website for the opening hours, which may vary depending on different holidays. ✅You can buy tickets and make reservations for the Jungle Bus directly at the door (You can only book as many people as you want on the bus. The previous reservation for multiple people has been cancelled.) Experience: I arrived at 0800, an hour earlier, and was the 20th car in line, two rows in total. The park opened at 9:00 that day, and the Jungle Bus reservation time was 9:50. ✅You can drive around the park by yourself or book a jungle bus tour (We took the jungle bus first, then drove around, and it took about an hour to get around.) Store Name Kyushu Zoo Store Address 2-1755-1 Minamihata, Anin-machi, Usa City, Oita Prefecture Opening hours: (March to October) 9:00～16:00 (November to February) 9:00～15:30 Closed: The park is open all year round (In case of rain, we will be open as usual)

You can get close to dangerous animals without going to Africa! It is located in Beppu Kyushu Natural Zoo. The selling point here is that you can take the park bus to feed the animals! The park bus costs 1,500 yen per trip. If you take the earliest bus, you may have to wait for 2 hours to catch the bus. It is recommended that you drive yourself or come in the afternoon. The car models have super cute animal patterns. While waiting for the bus, you can go in and get close to the cute animals. It takes about an hour. You can bring your own food or go to the restaurant in the park for the remaining hour. However, because the park bus drives on a bumpy mountain road, I feel a little carsick (because the bus is ventilated with windows open but no air conditioning). It is recommended that you don’t eat too much. Then just enjoy the time with dangerous animals!

1. Number of people : Family trip (Parents in their 50s, children in their 20s) 2. Method : Private taxi tour We went to Fukuoka as a family trip to celebrate my father's 60th birthday. The main purpose was to visit the hot springs at the ryokan, but my parents loved the Fukuoka Safari because I, the daughter, wanted to go for my own selfish reasons. ㅎㅎ - Animals loved by all ages - Free in nature - Environment where you can see them up close I really recommend it, except that you have to rent a car to go!

Located in Oita Prefecture near Fukuoka, ‘African Safari’ is a unique travel destination where you can experience real Africa in Japan. Like other safaris, you can ride a dedicated safari vehicle and experience feeding animals, but what’s special about this place is that you can drive a rental car yourself and go around the safari! Driving along the road and seeing the vivid images of animals through the window was an unforgettable experience. This trip where you can drive through nature and interact with animals, you should definitely try it!! #FukuokaSafari

#KyushuTravel We visit Kyushu Nature Zoo We opted for self-drive tour, no traffic jams/queuing outside the door, children over 4 years old charged Highly recommended very good experience, super close, even lions can be so close, unimaginable, and get in touch with kangaroos. The park doesn't smell too bad, and the most worthy of appreciation is that all the animals are plump and clean. ❤️

African Safari, located in Beppu, is a place that takes about 2 hours to get to from Fukuoka by rental car, but it was a unique experience because you can freely look around from inside the car and see it up close. Children really like this safari. I highly recommend it.

#Spring0yentrip "Inside Kyushu Natural Zoo, there is also a "cat cafe" where you can relax while interacting with cute cats. In the cafe, you can play with and hold various kinds of cats, so it is an irresistible place for animal lovers. The cats are very docile, and many visitors find the cafe a relaxing space. It is a recommended spot where you can relax and unwind from your daily fatigue by enjoying the cats' movements and expressions while relaxing in the cafe☕️. Access: Inside Kyushu Natural Zoo, near the entrance to the zoo.

#Spring0yenTrip "Kyushu Natural Zoo is a facility where you can observe animals living freely in nature up close.

The sight of the animals roaming freely is particularly impressive. You can see the animals in their natural state while driving, which is a different kind of thrill than a zoo. Enjoy a safari experience by car with your family and friends 🚙. Access: About 40 minutes by car from the Kyushu Expressway "Kumamoto IC" 🚗

#Spring0yenTrip "Kyushu Natural Zoo is a zoo located in the middle of the nature of Kumamoto Prefecture. In the zoo, animals from Asia and Africa are kept in an environment close to their natural surroundings, allowing you to observe them in their natural state.

Access: About 30 minutes by car from JR Kumamoto Station 🚗.

When traveling to Beppu and Yufuin Onsen in Oita Prefecture, Kyushu, you can't miss the Kyushu Natural Animal Park, which is loved by the locals and is the largest wildlife park in Japan. You can take the animal-shaped jungle bus in the park or drive directly into the park. However, you can feed lions, elephants, and black bears on the bus first, and you can also see giraffes, rhinos, zebras and other animals living on the grassland. In the "Small Animal Exchange Area", you can get close to cats and dogs, experience riding mini horses, and feed kangaroos and squirrel monkeys. It is definitely a parent-child itinerary that must be arranged for a free trip to Kyushu! #KitakyushuZoo #JungleBus #Self-driving #Wildlife #Parent-childActivity 📍Address: 2-1755-1 Minamihata, Anshinin-cho, Usa City, Oita Prefecture 🕰️Business hours: March 1st to October 31st 9:00-16:30 November 1st to the end of February 10:00 to 16:00

If you take a bus from Beppu City for 40 minutes, you can feed many animals such as tigers, bears, and deer. It is worth the 30,000 won or so. I recommend going to the left on the Safari Bus. #Beppu #Safari #Traveling with children

#newyearnewtrip Wish to visit a wildlife animal safari but Africa is too far for you? Well, fret not, because in japan Beppu region, one can visit the Kyushu wildlife Park African Safari. You can choose to drive in the safari using your own car or choose to sit the park's safari bus. These jungle buses would cost slightly more as you are able to feed the safari animals from the bus. If you're driving your own car, then it's not possible to do so, as car windows are to be closed at all times. I drove into the safari on my own and it was an exhilarating experience as you see animals come close or beside your vehicle. It is just unbelievable. There are safari personnels patrolling the area so you dont have to feel scared and they are there to help in case of any accidents. You get to see elephants, giraffes, zebras, deers, and so many more animals, as they roam free in a non enclosed area. This is a one of a kind safari experience not to be forgotten!

#2024TravelReview This time we came to #九州自然动物. I really recommend that you can arrange a family tour when you come to Kyushu. There are many different experience activities such as the jungle bus, which allow you to get close to wild animals. It is recommended to combine it with #由布院之森. It is less rushed to arrange two days and one night. If you want to take the Jungle Bus, it is recommended that you arrive at the park when it opens so that you can register for an earlier bus. You can also drive in, but we came here to feed the animals up close, so we decided to take the jungle bus. There are many kinds of animals here, which are mainly divided into two parks: the "Wildlife Area" and the "Interactive Area". In the Wildlife Area, there are herbivorous animals such as bears, lions, tigers, cheetahs, elephants, giraffes, camels, etc. You can take the bus in the park or drive by yourself to get close to them. #JungleBus is the most popular experience activity in the park. The bus is made into the shape of wild animals and is quite cute. It will go around the wildlife area for about 50 minutes. During the process, you can feed bears, lions and herbivores. Tickets can only be purchased on the day and cannot be booked in advance. After entering the park, you need to make a reservation in the general information center. Because reservations are made on a first-come, first-served basis, it is recommended that you send one person to buy the tickets first while the others go to park. Children under elementary school age must be accompanied by an adult to ride. Children under 3 years old can ride for free but must be held by a parent. After getting on the bus, they will be given biscuits (for bears), meat (for lions), fruits and vegetables (for elephants), and granular feed (for goats, reindeer, and camels). The bus will first pass through the wild animal area. When it arrives at the designated location, the driver will stop the car and instruct everyone to prepare food. After the animals smell the scent, they will actively approach the cage car. When feeding the lions, Mia was so scared that she didn't dare to move at all. When feeding the elephants, she was sprayed with water by the elephants. These are very different experiences for children. The special thing here is the #camping plan, which is charged per person and includes tickets, tents and some camping equipment. Because it is adjacent to the zoo, you can hear the roar of lions at night, and you can also take the jungle bus limited to camping the next morning. Friends who like outdoor experience can come and try it. In addition to the wildlife area, there is also an #interactive area where you can feed and touch the animals yourself. There is animal feed for sale at the entrance of each animal, and you can decide whether to buy it for your children. There are also #cuteanimalinteractionpavilions (catpavilion, dogpavilion and rabbitpavilion), as well as horseback riding experiences, which require additional admission fees. There are also restaurants and bakeries in the park. The souvenir shop is worth a visit. There are many kinds of goods, and the limited products that can only be bought in the park are worth a look. There is also a tax-free service for foreign tourists. #九州家庭景点 #野园 #九州动物 #日本家庭景点推荐 #九州野生园 #仓车 #动物巴士 #家庭景点 #家庭旅游 #日本自由行 #九州旅游

It is recommended to visit the zoo when visiting Kyushu. Even adults can have a great time there! We chose to rent a car this time and took a tour bus to experience the fun of feeding elephants, lions and other animals. Both children and adults felt fresh and excited. There are many other animal interaction experience areas in the park. I recommend you not to miss this place if you pass by ❤️! #九州旅游 #familytravel #Kyushu Natural Zoo #九州自由行

[African Safari], located in Oita Prefecture, Kyushu, Japan, is the largest safari in Asia. You can see the vast grasslands and animals living freely in nature by car or tour bus. It is a great pleasure to see animals running, eating, and sleeping naturally, rather than animals locked in cages that have lost all their wild habits. Tourists using rental cars can also enter and see the area by rental car. There is also a special space where you can meet and interact with kangaroos in person, and you can also experience feeding monkeys and horses. This is a place I highly recommend for traveling with family or a lover. ❤️Location: Ajimumachi Minamihata, Usa, Oita 872-0722 Japan 🤍Operating hours: Winter 9:30 - 15:30 Summer 9:30 - 16:30 #Overseas travel #Japan travel #Family travel #Oita travel
