Kanazawa and Kamakura New Year's Wishes and Zoo Trip

Located on the highest point in Kanazawa, Yokohama, the Kanazawa Zoo opens before sunrise on New Year's, giving you a chance to see the first sunrise of the year on a slope near the Shiinoki Yama Observation Deck, where there's a view of the eastern horizon. After sunrise, the zoo opens and you can have a look at how the animals are spending their New Year's. (Admission charges to be paid. The park will be open for an hour. The plan is subject to change.)
