Encounter Wildlife with Mount Fuji in the Background — Fuji Safari Park: Admission Experience with Private Shuttle Service

Located at an elevation of 850 meters, this is one of Japan’s largest safari parks, stretching across the southern foothills of Mount Fuji. Approximately 900 animals across 60 species—including lions, Amur tigers, giraffes, and elephants—live freely in their natural habitats. Travel directly from Shizuoka Airport by private car and board the “Jungle Bus”—a windowless, wire-mesh bus—to venture into the big cat area. Enjoy the unforgettable experience of feeding the animals up close, along with the magnificent scenery with Mount Fuji in the background, all accompanied by an English-speaking guide.
