Ueno Zoo opened in 1882 (Meiji 15) as a museum facility under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Agriculture and Commerce, and is the first zoo in Japan. In 1886 (Meiji 19), it became under the jurisdiction of the Imperial Household Ministry, and in 1924 (Taisho 13), it was given to the city of Tokyo to commemorate the marriage of His Imperial Highness the Crown Prince (Emperor Showa).
During World War II, there was a sad event called the disposal of wild animals, but until now, Ueno Zoo has exhibited various animals gathered from all over the world as a "living museum".
In addition, although it is a metropolitan zoo, it also functions as a zoo representing the Japan, and in 1972 (Showa 47), giant pandas visited the zoo to commemorate the restoration of diplomatic relations between Japan and China, and it was very lively.
Ueno Zoo has succeeded in breeding many animals, and utilizing the breeding technology cultivated over many years, it is working on attractive exhibits of various animals and conveying the importance of wildlife conservation while being enjoyed by many people.
