Best reptile house in Japan

[zoogeekmaelstrom]

Excluding IZoo, which zoo do you think in Japan has the best reptile house in terms of design, species and education? For me, Tennoji Zoo's reptile house was pretty educational as it had a skeleton of what I believe to be a crocodile or a snake. Plus, the zoo promoted it to be an educational place. From what I've heard, Sapporo Maruyama Zoo's reptile house although not up to the standard of Western style reptile houses has reptiles and amphibians like shingleback skink, Sunda gharial and amphuima.

Also from what I've heard, Higashiyama's reptile house has caecilian. Pretty rare species in Japan and one I would like to see one day.

1.Higashiyama Zoo (Aichi)
2.Ueno Zoo (Tokyo)
3.Maruyama Zoo (Hokkaido)
4.Tennnoji Zoo (Osaka)
5.Nihondaira Zoo (Shizuoka)

I visited Higashiyama 4 years ago, and their reptile house was incredible. It’s one of my favorites to this day.

I agree with that!

I went there twice in the past year. I was unfortunately not able to spend a long time there due to the schedule, but I think I can stay there for the whole day!
