First established to celebrate the coronation of Emperor Hirohito in 1936, the zoo's many areas clearly show signs of aging. Currently undergoing a long renovation process, it's a little startling to see sleek modern animal enclosures right next to shabby exhibits. However, the zoo's location on the hilly area of Fukuoka's Minami park gives it an excellent vantage point over the rest of the city, especially from the observation deck near the cafe area. Children can enjoy an even greater view from the Ferris Wheel over the mini-amusement park. The must see animals include tapir, red panda, Japanese Macaques, raggiana bird of paradise, lowland gorillas. There are over 700 other animals, representing in total 167 species. The greenhouses are quite interesting too, especially the beautiful dove tree area, the many flowerbeds and the grassy plaza area.
