アドベンチャーワールドUnclaimed

From JR Kino Line Shirahama Station, take a Meikou bus heading towards Adventure World for about 10 minutes to the Adventure World bus stop. By car, it's about 10 minutes from Nanki-Shirahama IC on the Hanwa Expressway.

At Marine World, dolphin and whale performance shows featuring trainers are held in the large dome "Big Ocean". Check the official website's park schedule page for show times.

Strollers and wheelchairs can be rented for a fee. The park also has barrier-free facilities including multi-purpose restrooms and a first aid station. See the official website park map for detailed locations.

A dedicated pet care space is available (for a fee), and pets can accompany you in most areas of the park. Please check the official website or contact the facility in advance for details on conditions and area restrictions.

Adventure World houses the largest number of giant pandas in Japan and is internationally known for its breeding achievements. The number changes, so please check the official website or official SNS before your visit. Panda viewing gets very crowded; weekday visits are recommended.

Usually 10:00–17:00, but extended hours (until around 20:00) may apply during busy periods like Golden Week and summer holidays. Closed irregularly on Tuesdays and for maintenance in June, December, and January. Please check the official website's operating calendar before your visit.

One day is tight if you want to enjoy all areas—Safari World, Marine World, and the amusement park. It's better to focus on your preferred areas or use a 2-day ticket to enjoy at a leisurely pace. We recommend planning your route in advance, keeping show times in mind.

A 1-day admission ticket costs approximately ¥4,800 for adults (18 and over), ¥3,800 for young adults (12–17), ¥2,800 for children (4–11), and ¥4,300 for seniors (65 and over). Prices vary by season. Half-day tickets (from 2:30 p.m. onwards) are also available, and you can purchase date-specified tickets online through the official website.

The park is very crowded during Golden Week and summer holidays, and may operate on a reservation-only system during peak season. We strongly recommend purchasing date-specific tickets in advance from the official website. Early morning and the last hour before closing tend to be quieter.

In Safari World, you can ride the free "Kenya" bus to observe many animals such as lions, giraffes, and elephants up close. A paid special Kenya bus with animal feeding experiences is also available. You can enjoy watching the animals in their natural behaviour as you move across the vast grounds.

Marine World (dome theater and underwater observation areas) and indoor facilities can be enjoyed in the rain. Some safari attractions and rides may be closed or modified during bad weather. We recommend bringing rain gear and checking the park schedule on the official website on the day of your visit.

A car park is available on the grounds. Fees are approximately ¥1,200 for regular cars, ¥2,000 for large vehicles, and ¥500 for motorcycles. During peak periods, the car park may be full, so we also recommend using public transport.

Adults (18 years and over) 4,800 yen, youth (12–17 years) 3,800 yen, children (4–11 years) 2,800 yen, seniors (65 years and over) 4,300 yen (prices vary by season)

10:00–17:00 (Hours vary by season and busy periods. Please check the official website calendar.)
