Nishiyama Zoo

Sabae City's Nishiyama Zoo (鯖江市西山動物園, Sabae-shi Nishiyama Dōbutsuen) is a small zoo in the city of Sabae, Fukui Prefecture, Japan.

The admission-free municipal zoo is on a low hill (Nishiyama Park).

[3] Despite its small size, the zoo is home to one of the largest groups of red pandas in Japan: 11 individuals as of 2018[update].

The founding couple arrived at the Nishiyama Zoo before it officially opened the following year (though the enclosures were ready).

Other zoo residents include black squirrel monkeys, pheasants, Japanese cranes and peafowls.
