    A safari park-style zoo located in Mine City, Yamaguchi Prefecture where visitors can view wild animals from a vehicle in settings close to their natural environment. In the Safari Zone, visitors can view African elephants, huge American black bears, lions, tigers, and more, either from their own car or a reservable bus tour which includes a chance to feed some of the animals. The park’s petting zoo, where visitors can play with and feed cute animals such as kangaroos and capybaras, is also quite popular. The zoo also has rare live white tiger and white lion exhibits. Finally, the park has a restaurant and an amusement park area with a giant Ferris wheel and roller coasters, ensuring families can enjoy an entire, fun-filled day here.

    I was visiting the area with my mom and since she loves animals, we went there. It is easy to find using Google maps or the GPS. As you exit the road, remain on the left side, passing the parking...

    Yamaguchi Mine-shi Ominecho Higashi
    Yamaguchi prefecture, along with Iwate and Kochi, is one of Japan's top fossil producing areas. This fossil museum, about a five-minute walk from Mine Station, is exhibiting with a focus on the themes of vertebrates, ammonites and insects which are likely to be interested among the various fossils produced. The exhibits offer a more sensuous experience so that even children can easily learn about the fossils. They also offer the experiential learning program digging fossils from raw stone.

    化石採掘をしたかったのですが、美祢市でディキノドンが発見され、しばらく閉鎖に。せっかくなのでこちらの見学をさせていただきました。何億年前の・・・とか、このあたりでヒョウやトラの化石が発掘・・・とか、普段考えることのない地球生誕の神秘の謎に意識がタイムスリップし、悠々たる時空間を漂っているような、とてもいい時間が過ごせました。次回は自分で採掘したいです。

    Yamaguchi Pref. Ubeshi Norisada 3-4-1
    This zoo is located inside the Tokiwa Park in Ube City, Yamaguchi Prefecture, and it became famous for the white pelican “Katta-kun,” who would play with the children at the kindergarten nearby. A large-scale renovation took place in 2012, and all the exhibits were redone to imitate the animals’ natural habitats. The park is divided into four zones: Asia, Latin America, Africa, and Yamaguchi Ube. It has the largest number of lar gibbons of any zoo in Japan, and visitors can observe many other flourishing species as well.

    Yamaguchi Ube-shi Norisada 3-4-29 Tokiwa Park

    ときわ公園に併設された植物園です。 物心ついてから植物園に行くのは超久しぶりだったのですが、温度調節された展示室には日本には絶対に生えないような植物が所せましと並んでいます。 星の王子様にでてきたバオバブの木（ほっとくと星をダメにするやつ）やゴッホが描いた糸杉の実物が見れたのは感慨が深かったです。穏やかな時間を楽しめる人にはオススメです。

Heading west along Japan’s largest island, Honshu, the very last prefecture you’ll reach is Yamaguchi, separated from Kyushu by a small strip of water known as the Kanmon Straits, which the far-reaching harbor city Shimonoseki looks over. With water at every turn, the seafood of Yamaguchi is an indisputable highlight, and we’re not talking just the usual fish dishes - the notorious fugu, or puffer fish, is a Japanese delicacy that was discovered in Yamaguchi prefecture, making it the best place to try it out.
