About Ueno Zoo

Ueno Zoo, located in Tokyo's Ueno Park, is Japan's oldest zoo, founded in 1882. As one of Japan's most prominent zoological institutions, Ueno Zoo has played a significant role in giant panda conservation and public education about endangered species. The zoo's panda exhibit has been a major attraction since 1972 when the first pandas arrived from China following the normalization of diplomatic relations between Japan and China. Ueno Zoo has successfully bred several giant pandas, most notably Xiang Xiang, who was born in 2017 and became a national sensation in Japan. The panda habitat at Ueno Zoo features both indoor and outdoor areas designed to meet the specific needs of giant pandas. The facility includes climate-controlled environments, climbing structures, and extensive bamboo supplies. The zoo's panda program focuses on research, conservation, and public education, collaborating with Chinese conservation authorities on scientific studies. Ueno Zoo's successful panda breeding program has contributed valuable data to global conservation efforts and has helped foster positive relations between Japan and China. The zoo continues to play an important role in raising public awareness about wildlife conservation and the importance of protecting endangered species.
