Asa Zoological Park

Our Philosophy

Zoos are places where people can enjoy learning about the animals that have been
entrusted to us from nature as Animal Ambassadors.
We at Asa Zoological Park endeavor to give the animals a comfortable habitat where
they can be healthy. By showing the animals’ energetic lives, we are working to foster
rich sensitivity and consciousness of nature in the hearts of park visitors and to allow
proper understanding of the relationship between humans and nature.
We strive to respect all living things on this planet and protect nature, in order to
maintain a peaceful and prosperous society.
