Capybara House

The Capybara House at Awaji Farm Park England Hill is a dedicated enclosure opened in 2021 where visitors can watch South America's largest rodents lounging, swimming, and diving in a glass-walled pool. Located in the Greenhill area of this Lake District-themed agricultural park on Awaji Island, it offers an intimate up-close encounter with one of the animal kingdom's most chill inhabitants. Capybaras are semi-aquatic rodents native to warm waterways around the Amazon basin. They can hold their breath underwater for more than five minutes, and here you can watch them do exactly that through the transparent pool walls. The facility is open from park opening until one hour before closing.
