<p>Driving in a car through the safari park gets you up close and personal!!</p>

<p>The hunter becomes the hunted. The white lions are closing in on my car</p>

<p>Consider using the rental car service to avoid having your own car soiled by licking llamas</p>

<p>The car ahead of me is attacked by a hungry mob. You can purchase food to give to the animals</p>

<p>This isn't Egypt, but here are the camels</p>

<p>Sometimes the path becomes blocked by the locals</p>

Tohoku Safari Park is home to some kawaii (cute) and kowai (scary) animals you can enjoy from the comfort of your own car. Have a close encounter with the white lions, ride an elephant, or feed a giraffe. Above all, capture the face to face memories with your camera.

Tohoku Safari Park is located in Nihonmatsu, Fukushima Prefecture. Easy access by driving or a twenty minute bus ride from Nihonmatsu Station. Keep in mind you'll need someone that can drive to enjoy this attraction. Rental cars available onsite.
