横浜繁華街の動物園、続く模索　改修後の入園料課題|47NEWS（よんななニュース）

This page reports on renovation plans for Nogeyama Zoo in Yokohama's Nogeyama district. Opened in 1951 with over 70 years of history, the free-admission zoo has been popular. However, annual visitors have declined from 1.09 million in 2015 to approximately 430,000 in 2024, and facilities have deteriorated. The city plans temporary closure from January 2027 and renovation costing approximately 3.5 billion yen, targeting reopening around mid-2029. The new indoor facility will display red pandas, kagu birds, and Pallas's cats, providing habitat-like environments for visitors to observe animals closely.
