Founded in 1950 in the castle park, it has been here since 1983, on a site six times larger.
Opened on 1 November 1950 inside the Hamamatsu Castle park as part of a children's exhibition, the municipal zoo moved here on 2 April 1983, to a site six times larger. Visitors also come for the golden lion tamarin, a South American monkey with orange fur that, according to Wikipedia, no other Japanese zoo keeps.
Hamamatsu's municipal zoo was founded in 1950 inside the city's castle park and moved to its current site at Kanzanji in 1983, six times larger than the first. It borders the Flower Park, but is a separate attraction with its own entry.
