Zoo!

I went to Ueno Zoo on Sunday-it was quite cold but sunny as well so not too freezing. I really enjoyed watching the penguins and polar bears and it was nice to walk in the park afterwards as well. Last time I went to Ueno in the summer, I couldn’t see the polar bears it was so crowded! Are there any other good zoos to visit locally or further away in Japan?

  • As a matter of fact, Niall, I can recommend Chiba Zoo which, whilst not having such a range of animals as Ueno, is home of a lesser panda that can walk upright like a human. I think its name is Futa. When i went there were hardly any visitors as it was a rainy holiday Monday. Usually such places are closed on Mondays, which is a shame for those of us who like to avoid the crowds. There is also a large monkey that constantly regurgitates its food before wolfing it down again. This is a revolting yet somehow absorbing spectacle.
