Each of the six zones offers a dynamic visual world with a unique theme. In every zone, you’ll find special moments that spark curiosity and excitement. Here, we introduce the features and highlights of each zone.

Zone 1 | The Changing Colors of the Four Seasons

Zone 1, "The Changing Colors of the Four Seasons," is the first area you’ll experience at Wonderia Yokohama. Set in the highlands, it’s a space where you can feel the transition of the seasons with your whole body. As you enter, a giant screen welcomes you, and the visuals spreading across the walls make you feel as if you’ve stepped right into nature.

This zone’s highlight is the ability to experience the slow transition of the seasons—from spring flowers, to the lush green grasslands of summer, to the autumn leaves, and finally to the snowy landscapes of winter. You’ll also see animals such as serows, foxes, and monkeys, observing how they live alongside nature.

In addition to the visuals, the experience is enhanced by the sounds of animals, the rustling of the forest, and the subtle aroma of scents.

"The Changing Colors of the Four Seasons," which appeals to your senses of sight, hearing, and smell, is the perfect zone to begin your adventure at Wandaria Yokohama, where you can enjoy the beauty of Japanese nature with all five senses.

Zone 2 | Dive to Blue

Zone 2, "Dive to Blue," is one of Wandaria Yokohama's most popular zones, allowing you to immerse yourself in the mysterious deep sea.

The main highlight is the "LED Immersive Tunnel," one of the largest permanent installations in Japan, measuring 5 meters wide, 8 meters deep, and 4 meters high. High-definition images are projected on the walls, ceiling, and floor, surrounding you 360 degrees in an underwater world, making you feel as if you are truly diving into the deep sea.

During our visit, we suddenly noticed a giant manta ray appear at our feet, giving us the strange sensation of riding on its back. Overhead, a large whale swam gracefully by, and we were overwhelmed by the depth and scale of the visuals. Other highlights include the breathtaking "Sardine Tornado," where schools of sardines form a massive whirlpool, and the fantastical scene of being surrounded by swarms of floating jellyfish—there's so much to see.

In Zone 2, where sea creatures swim freely before your eyes, above your head, and at your feet, there are endless photo opportunities. Why not capture a special moment while enjoying the immersive feeling of being surrounded by the ocean world?

Zone 3 | The Mimicking Forest

Zone 3, "The Mimicking Forest," is an area themed around "the mimicry of life," set in a dimly lit primeval forest. In this zone, the slow movement of trees and leaves creates the sensation of wandering deep into the heart of the forest.

In this primeval forest, visitors walk from the perspective of a wildcat, searching for lizards, insects, butterflies, and other creatures hiding in the shadows of trees and branches. Many of these creatures are so well-camouflaged that you have to observe carefully, as if playing a game of hide-and-seek, to find them. This is one of the charms of the zone, where you can truly appreciate the skillful mimicry that has evolved for survival. If you have trouble finding them, the dedicated "Wandaria App" will help support your exploration.

The mesmerizing visual effects of a swarm of butterflies taking flight all at once from the dense forest, as well as the lines of light running through the tranquil darkness of the woods, are must-sees. The mystical atmosphere envelops the entire space, allowing you to feel the breath of nature up close.

Another highlight of this zone is the ability to sit or lie down on the beanbag cushions placed in the center of the room, allowing you to leisurely observe the presence of living creatures. Simply gazing at the forest scenery brings a sense of calm and healing.

Zone 4 | Touch the Darkness, Dance with Light

Zone 4, "Touch the Darkness, Dance with Light," is a fantastical space themed around a cave. The moment you step inside, you are surrounded by countless particles of light, as if you have wandered into a mysterious universe. The cave is designed to let in sunlight, and as time passes, the interplay of light and shadow gently changes. Visitors can enjoy an immersive, extraordinary experience as they watch the ever-shifting scenery.

Guided by the light, you will encounter gently glowing fireflies, bats, and adorable wild boar piglets. The production that lets you feel the sparkle of life in the darkness is as if you are witnessing the birth of new life.

Beanbag cushions are also placed along the walls, allowing you to relax and watch the changing lights at your leisure.

Zone 5 | Soaring in the Sky

Zone 5, "Soaring in the Sky," is an area where you can experience the world of the sky. The highlight is the sky imagery that stretches from the ceiling to the floor, and with mirrors installed on the floor, the reflected sky looks just like the surface of a lake. You can enjoy an immersive feeling as if you are floating in the sky.

The creatures that appear in this vast sky are flocks of swans and geese. Their powerful flight as they cut through the wind is dynamically depicted. Surrounded by this impressive scene, you will feel as if you are flying through the sky as part of the flock.

Furthermore, the beautiful sky of the magic hour, which can only be seen for a short time before sunrise or after sunset, is also recreated. You can spend a dreamlike time surrounded by the fantastical gradations of color.

Zone 6 | Into the Wonder

Zone 6, "Into the Wonder," is the finale area that concludes your journey through "Wonderia Yokohama." The theme is "City." In contrast to the lush natural worlds you have explored so far, this area is set in a cityscape reminiscent of places like Yokohama and Minato Mirai.

The visuals depict a fantastical scene where monkeys get off trains and birds gracefully fly around the Red Brick Warehouse area, creating a world where the city and wildlife coexist. The sight of wild animals blending naturally into a cityscape reminiscent of real Yokohama gives the entire city a mysterious charm, as if it has become a wonderland.

In this zone, animals you encountered in previous areas also make a reappearance. As you watch them move freely through the skies and streets of Yokohama, you can reflect on your adventure and savor the lingering afterglow of the story.
