The widest variety of animals of any zoo in Japan. Once known as "The Greatest Zoo in the East," the Higashiyama Zoo has over 80 years of history. It ranks second in Japan for the number of annual visitors. In recent years, one of the Higashiyama Zoo's Western Lowland gorilla, Shabani, became an internet sensation for his rugged good looks. He even has his own photo collection published. The gorilla house also sports illustrations by Dragonball creator Akira Toriyama.
