Adachi Park of Living Things 足立区生物園

2-17-1 Hokima, Adachi City, Tokyo

Discover animals from all over the world at this petting-zoo and park

A bus ride away from Kitasenju Station, the Adachi Park of Living Things is part-park and part-petting zoo. Perfect for families, the Park of Living Things is home to over 500 various types of creatures, from insects to mammals.

With a guinea pig petting zoo area, a large greenhouse featuring countless butterflies dancing through the air, and an enormous fish tank with over 35 varieties of vividly colored swimming fish, and more, this is a place where both children and adults can learn and enjoy. The park originally began as a firefly-raising facility, and firefly viewing festivals are held here every year at the start of summer and in winter. Many people come from both inside and outside Adachi Ward to enjoy the magical light of the fireflies at the early summer Genji-botaru Firefly Viewing Festival “Hotaru no Yube” (Firefly Evening).
