The zoo is modeled after Asahiyama Zoo in Hokkaido with holding areas designed to mimic the animal’s natural habitat, and incorporating “action exhibits” where animal activity is encouraged, particularly during feeding time.

History

The zoo began as a zoo attached to the Akita Prefectural Children’s Hall within the grounds of former Kubota Castle (39.7223°N 140.125°W) in October 1950. It was transferred to the control of Akita City in April 1953 and renamed the Akita City Children’s Zoo,[6] [7] [8] and "Monkey Train ride" was very popular.[9] [10] In September 1972, it was relocated to its present location.

The zoo successfully bred the tanuki in captivity in 1974, followed by the barn owl in 1978, and Japanese marten in 1994. It also successfully artificially inseminated the black-backed jackal in 1990 and demoiselle crane in 1995. All of these successes were the first time for a zoo in Japan.

In March 2015, the zoo recorded its 10 millionth visitor since its relocation to its present location.[11] [12]
