Mine, Yamaguchi / 秋吉台サファリランド
Akiyoshidai Safari Land
A theme park where you can see animals behaving naturally, as in the wild. In the Safari Zone African elephants, tigers, lions, cheetahs and others live on a vast site, seen up close from your own car; the "feeding bus" lets you feed them from inside. In the animal contact area you can meet small animals, and events such as horse riding and feeding are held.
