Atagawa Tropical & Alligator Garden, in the Atagawa hot spring town of Izu, is a zoo and botanical garden where you can see 16 species of crocodiles and alligators from around the world (including hybrids). You can also meet the western lesser panda and the Amazonian manatee, which can be seen only here in Japan. The garden is divided into three areas, the alligator garden, the botanical garden and the annex (orchard), so you can spend the whole day enjoying tropical water lilies, about 60 varieties of which are always in bloom, as well as tropical fruit trees such as bananas and papayas. It is only about a 1-minute walk from Izu-Atagawa Station on the Izukyu Line, so it is easy to get to.

Under the dome roof of the alligator garden, you can observe the crocodiles through glass from the side or from below. You can also watch the feeding up close as they swallow large chunks of chicken in a single bite, and the large freshwater fish such as the tambaqui (colossoma) and alligator gar are popular too.

Eight greenhouses display tropical plants such as bougainvillea, hibiscus, cattleya and giant water lilies, and the tropical water lilies, with about 60 varieties always on view, are a highlight. The gentle Amazonian manatees, which sometimes swim up to the glass, and the baby crocodiles are also in this area.

In the annex you can see many tropical fruit trees such as banana, papaya, guava and miracle fruit. Western lesser pandas, saltwater crocodiles measuring 2 to 3 m and Aldabra giant tortoises also live here. Fruit grown in the garden can be tasted for an extra fee in limited quantities, and the original banana soft-serve ice cream is a popular menu item.
