What kind of facility is Fuji Safari Park?

This is one of Japan's largest safari parks, where about 800 animals from 60 different species, including lions, giraffes, and elephants, live freely in the vast natural surroundings at the foot of Mt. Fuji. The park is divided into two areas, the Safari Zone and the Interaction Zone. You can tour the Safari Zone from your car or on a tour bus, while you can tour the Interaction Zone on foot. Another popular activity is the Walking Safari, where you can observe animals while walking along the forest course that runs along the perimeter of the Safari Zone!

For first-time visitors (How to enjoy Fuji Safari Park)

Does the probability of seeing it vary depending on the season?

Mt. Fuji is best seen in the winter when there is little rain. Specifically, the period from December to February is the most likely, with a 50% to 70% chance of seeing Mt. Fuji.
Also, the time when you can see Mount Fuji covered in snow varies from year to year, but it usually runs from November to May.

On the other hand, the chances of seeing Mt. Fuji are lower from June to August. This is because there are many rainy days, high humidity, and clouds and haze, so you may only be able to see Mt. Fuji for 2-3 days a month. Also, even if you can see it beautifully in the morning, clouds often form as the temperature rises and hide Mt. Fuji.

We'll introduce 12 of the most recommended view points of Mt. Fuji located throughout the park!
