Hokkaido Noboribetsu Bear Park

Noboribetsu Bear Park is located on the top of Shikotsu-Toya National Park. It's quite rare among all the zoos in Japan as you will need to ride the ropeway in order to get to park. The first and the second bear ranches in the park are featured in Hokkaido Brown Bear. They are the only "Brown Bear Museum" in the world. There is also the Lake Kutara Observatory, from which you can see the clearest lake in Japan.
