Zao Kitsune Fox Village was founded in early 1990 in the city of Shiroishi in Japan. At first, this was a sanctuary dedicated to such rare foxes. The red foxes here are very gentle and lovely and have attracted many tourists to visit this village. Visitors can have fun, take photos with the foxes or buy food packages for 100 yen and then feed them.

But the red foxes are still wildlife, so wear protective gloves when feeding them. Despite being released into the natural environment, the red foxes are still fully vaccinated every year to ensure their health and the visitors visit. In addition, after the trip, visitors can also buy stuffed foxes as souvenirs when coming to this village.
