Disclaimer

Jasumo offers a facilitation service for foreign tourists and non-Japanese residents in Japan, helping them access and apply for tickets to various attractions, including Shizuoka/KawaZoo Frog House Admission Ticket 2025. We are not a reseller of tickets, nor do we sell tickets directly. Our role is to support international customers by guiding them through the official ticket booking process, ensuring they can secure their tickets through recognized platforms and authorized providers.

As a business based in Japan with a bilingual staff and a deep understanding of the challenges faced by non-Japanese visitors, we address common bottlenecks such as:

• Language Barriers: Navigating Japan’s primarily Japanese-language ticketing systems can be challenging for foreign tourists. Jasumo provides bilingual support to bridge this gap and ensure a smooth booking experience.
• Access to Japanese-Only Platforms: Many attractions in Japan require local knowledge to navigate and access, and often these platforms do not offer international payment options or are difficult to use for non-Japanese speakers. We facilitate the booking process by providing guidance and helping with international payment methods where applicable.
• Limited Availability & Complex Registration: Attractions in Japan often have limited capacity, and understanding the timing and process for securing tickets can be confusing for international visitors. Jasumo helps you manage deadlines and requirements, giving you the best chance of securing your entry.

Due to high demand during summer and holidays, availability is not guaranteed. Refunds will only be issued if entries cannot be secured through official channels or in case of closure due to maintenance or severe weather. We strongly recommend booking early via https://jasumotickets.com/ to secure your ticket at the official price (¥320–¥2,116 with discounts).

Reviews

• “The staff were very friendly and answered my questions politely, making it a pleasant experience to use the facility. The route was easy to follow and I found it easy to get around. There are many restaurants unique to Izu in the area, and I recommend the wasabi soba.”
• “The facility itself is not large, but it is fun to see frogs that are hard to find anywhere else. There are also frogs that are hidden and cannot be seen, so it was fun enough depending on luck.”
• “It’s fun to look for the frogs hiding in disguise. I went on a weekday, but it was pretty empty because of the location. I was worried if I was on the right path to get there, but if you like frogs, it’s a must-go place.”
