Kyoto City Zoo Kyoto Forest

Kyoto Forest Exhibition Room It is located inside Kyoto City Zoo. The zoo is divided into areas according to the type of animal and the area where they live. The giant salamander, a national treasure, as well as snakes, frogs, and geckos live in Kyoto Forest Exhibition Room. The giant salamander is the world's largest amphibian. It is a "living fossil" that has changed little since a 30 million year old fossil discovered in Switzerland. I often went to Kyoto Aquarium because the giant salamanders are cute, so I'm happy to be able to see them at Kyoto City Zoo! The giant salamander's face is cute, but I like its hands. A skeletal specimen is displayed in front of the living giant salamander, so you can learn about its structure! ■Address Okazaki Hoshoji-cho, Sakyo-ku, Kyoto City, Kyoto Prefecture ■Access 10 minutes walk from Higashiyama Station on the Tozai Subway Line 11 minutes by taxi from Hankyu Kyoto Kawaramachi (740-820 yen) *There is no parking lot for the Kyoto City Zoo.
