Sabae Nishiyama Park Zoo
Despite its small size, the zoo is home to one of the largest groups of red pandas in Japan: 11 individuals . They are descendants of a pair donated by the Beijing Zoo in 1984. The founding couple arrived at the Nishiyama Zoo before it officially opened the following year (though the enclosures were ready). The youngest pandas now belong to the seventh generation.
