    This is one of the coolest things I've done in Japan. 98% of it is super ethical and such good value. If you're even in Osaka it's worth making the trip. The safari area is the main thing, there's also an amusement park but you have to pay for each ride unless you get another pass.

    Amusement park with safari. You can drive your own car or use the bus. Walking safari included in the price. Skating in the winter and water park in the summer. Great to visit with children. Never crowded.
