In 1951, Maruyama Zoo was opened as the 10th largest zoo in the country, originating from Sapporo City hosting a travelling zoo for the “Ueno Zoo” located in Tokyo, which achieved a good response from people. Until June, 2013, the zoo has 184 varieties of mammals, birds and reptiles as well as raising and exhibiting 991 types of living creatures. The idea of the zoo is to recreate the natural habitat of the animals so that they will act in accordance with their natural instincts. New facilities are being built with the concept of “natural habitat exhibition” where the animals and visitors can share the same experience. There is also the “Forest of the Zoo” which is approximately 2 hectares and on the border of the zoo and Maruyama Primeval Forest, a natural monument. This area aims to show the Sapporo of 50 years ago when there was always nature close by. The Maruyama Zoo is one of the most nature-oriented zoos in the country.
