Kyoto Municipal Zoo (京都市動物園) is a small 3.4-hectare (8.4-acre) zoo located in Sakyō ward, Kyoto and was established in 1903, making it the second oldest zoo in the country after Ueno Zoo in Tokyo. Though some facilities, such as the "ape room" are recent facilities, most animals are housed in concrete and steel cages constructed between 30 and almost 90 years ago.[2]
