The Only Zoo in Japan Mainly Focused on Foxes!
Zao Fox Village is a facility located in the mountains about 30 minutes west by car from the center of Shiroishi City, Miyagi Prefecture. It's the only zoo in Japan that breeds many types of foxes. Since the foxes are basically allowed to roam freely in the park, you can see their expressions up close. There are also opportunities for hands-on experiences with the animals, allowing you to enjoy the warmth and feel of the animals. In addition to foxes, there are also rabbits and ponies, which are very cute to see. Furthermore, the foxes in the park are well-managed unlike wild foxes, so there is no need to worry about echinococcus, a typical parasite, and you can interact with them with peace of mind.
