The park comes in two halves. Kingdom Town holds wolves, penguins, capybaras and otters; Kingdom Farm has sheep, alpacas, rabbits and horses. A chairlift, an animal-themed bus and a tractor-drawn trailer run between them. The Town side has a covered all-weather walkway, so rain need not end the day and a stroller can stay with you. The performances include a farm show with shepherds from New Zealand. The grounds follow the natural terrain, so expect slopes.
| Stroller friendly | Yes | Strollers are lent for ¥500 a day beside the entrance gate — no reservations, ask the gate staff on the day (7 to 24 months, up to 12kg, limited numbers). The Kingdom Town side has an all-weather covered walkway you can push a stroller along in the rain, but the grounds follow the natural terrain and have ups and downs. Strollers cannot go inside Squirrel Forest, Tropical Forest, Wan-Nyan Living or THE CATs; parking spots for them are next to each | Web-checked | checked Aug ’26 | nasu-oukoku.com |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Nursing space | Yes (3) | Three nursing rooms (Mummy Rooms): beside the entrance gate in the Town area, and beside Mee-Mee Kitchen and Alpaca Hill in the Farm area | Web-checked | checked Aug ’26 | nasu-oukoku.com |
| Outside food allowed | Yes | Packed lunches are fine outside the indoor restaurants — use the free rest room on the 2nd floor by the entrance gate, or seats in the Farm area. On wet days that 2nd-floor rest room (indoors) and the lawn by the Kingdom View Restaurant (outdoors) are the spots, though the rest room can be time-limited or unavailable when groups are in. Drinks other than alcohol may be brought in flasks or bottles. No food is stored for you — there are no chilled lockers | Web-checked | checked Aug ’26 | nasu-oukoku.com |
| Indoor / outdoor | Indoor & outdoor | Mostly an outdoor park on natural terrain, with an all-weather covered walkway through the Kingdom Town side | Web-checked | checked Aug ’26 | nasu-oukoku.com |
