Tokyo Oshima Park Zoo

都立大島公園動物園

A free hillside zoo inside Tokyo Metropolitan Oshima Park — home to Barbary sheep, flamingos and tropical birds — sitting beside one of Japan's largest camellia gardens with thousands of trees.

Why we picked it

A free island zoo and camellia garden few mainlanders realise the Tokyo government runs out here.
