Founded in 1990, the Zao Fox Village is a unique petting zoo that is home to more than 100 foxes, which the Japanese traditionally believe to be messengers of the Shinto god Inari. The majority of the animals here are Japanese red foxes, but there are six different species to be found in total, including Arctic foxes, black foxes, and platinum foxes. It's possible to purchase small amounts of food to feed the foxes, but to prevent any accidental nips, visitors are encouraged to throw the food on the ground rather than feed the animals by hand.
