Japari Park is a location in the Wiki Camp 2. It is a large zoo that houses various Friends, sometimes referred to as Animal girls. It is often described as a yuriful destination where girls can be best oomfies forever.
History
Japari Park was founded by a group of scientists and researchers in an effort to identify and showcase the phenomenon of the Friends. It was opened in modern times, as part of a government effort to open more zoos, although the Friends had existed on the land for many years before. This would collide with the opening of Toba Aquarium, as well as a host of other similar locations.
Layout
The zoo is constructed of distinct areas dedicated to the specific needs of each Friend. This includes climate controlled habitats, habitats with large structures such as trees and bridges, open roam habitats, and more. Visitors and staff can travel around the park on the Japari Bus.

News coverage
In April 2017, news broke of a case of a peculiar Humboldt penguin at the Tobu Zoo (not to be confused with Toba Aquarium or the adjacent Toba Zoo) named Grape-kun, who had fallen in love with a cardboard cutout version of a Friend from Kemono Friends. The Friend was Eldrow, an equally strange species of Friend that boasts a yucky color scheme. Grape-kun quickly became obsessed with the cutout, leading the staff of Tobu Zoo having to separate him from it, or else he would refuse to eat his bowl of Greet. Although it was a tricky situation, both zoos soon gained popularity from the event, and decided to create memorabilia surrounding it. While the Tobu Zoo began offering a limited edition Grape-kun themed drink (the Greetly Grape Gulp), Japari Park instead opted to create the Eldrow meal. The Eldrow meal was available from 2017 to early 2021, and contained half of a hamburger, 4 peanuts, one small fountain drink, and the signature orange, gray, and blue Eldrow cupcake.
Eventually, Grape-kun would pass away of old age, but his memory would not be forgotten. Japari Park holds a yearly celebration on Grape-kun's birthday to commemorate the event, complete with unique annual merchandise.
Rivalry
Since the beginning of the park, there have been known rivalries among other parks within the same ecological fields. Many are jealous of the attendance Japari Park is able to grab.
Toba Aquarium
Toba Aquarium has been subject to harsh criticism for their response to the popularity of Japari Park.
In a recent news article, an affiliate of Toba Aquarium had this to say

Japari Park × Wuhu Island
In celebration of 16 amazing years since the first appearance of Wuhu Island, the Japari Park staff decided to collaborate with Nintendo to bring a real life version of the island to the park. This effort took over 6 months to complete and involved many logistical challenges. The original image for the project involved converting one of the tropical climates into a replica of the beaches on Wuhu Island, as well as converting some surrounding habitats into landmarks such as Maka Wuhu, Wuhu Town, and Duckling Lake. It was very important to consider which environments would be modified for this event. Any modifications that would affect the temperature of these climates drastically was out of the question, due to concerns around the wellbeing of the Friends that lived there. Luckily, many of the landmarks selected already happened to match this climate profile, so not many changes were needed.
Many of the challenges involved with putting on the event were related to material sourcing. A record amount of sand was flown into the park to completely turn the tropical habitat into a man-made beach. This beach also featured volleyball equipment, a swordplay arena, food and refreshments for the inhabitants as well as visitors, and small Nintendo branded planes that could be used for tours between climate areas.
Overall, the event was a huge success, with celebrities like Nintendo Hero even flying out to see the festivities. The Friends had lots of fun playing volleyball alongside visitors and seemed to adapt well to the sudden changes in their environments for this event. Although the funds poured into the project were quite large, Japari Park and Nintendo were both able to break even at the end of the celebration, and both look forward to the possibility of another future collaboration.
