| | | | Parks, Yards, Gardens and Squares: Ueno Zoo | | | | | |
I can almost bet that no one on VT goes to Tokyo & visit its zoo! Well, it took me innumerable visits to this city b4 I finally venture to this part of the metropolis! What a surprise it was! If you get tired of visiting temples, museums & gardens, & also running out of shopping moneys, I highly recommend this place! UENO ZOO is especially delightful when visiting in the Spring amidst the cherry blossoms in Ueno Park. What's even more enticing is the species of animals you'll be delighted to meet! I was in for a huge surprise & a very delightful one as well. My visit to the Antarctica was a little incomplete since I didn't get to see the King Penguins due to a slight miscommunication with the chief purser! Yet, I finally get to meet them in person in Tokyo of all places under the most amazing circumstances! If you ask me, I think I'm blessed :-))) Here's a list of other animals in the zoo which might interest you: 1) Giant Pandas 2) Otters 3) Owls, Eagles, Hawks 4) Gorillas, Monkeys & Baboons 5) Cranes & Japanese Cranes & Birds 6) Sea Lions 7) Polar Bears 8) Japanese Macaques 9) Tapirs & Capybaras & Llama 10) Emus, Kangaroos, Aye-ayes & wolves 11) Pygmy Hippopotamuses 12) Rhinoceroses 13) Okapis, Giraffes & Ostriches 14) Flamingos & whale-headed storks 15) Puffins, beavers & pelicans 16) Vivarium Leave a Comment Phone: 03 3828 5171

Visit the 'Nippon Budokan' at the Kitanomaru park! Used to be a stadium that holds 14,000 people, used for Judo in the 1964 Summer Olympics and now used as a venue to host the Pro wrestling NOAH and world famous acts like Deep Purple, The Smashing pumpkins, Dreamtheatre, just to name a few. In February, you could see the sakura bloom there in the park.. good for photographers or just people looking for peace and quietness amidst this busy city. Free entry, take either the Shinjuku, Hanzomon or Tozai Line to Kudanshita Station. Website: http://www.nipponbudokan.or.jp/
