During our trip to Hokkaido, at the north end of Japan, we visited a certain zoo.
You might be wondering why grown-ups visit a zoo without children...
Asahiyama Zoo is recently the hottest zoo in Japan, with a unique way to viewing animals.
You can meet a giraffe getting this close to it!
The Giraffe site is dug lower than the visitors pavement,
so that visitors can get to see the animal face to face at human-eyesight level.
If you visit a Hippopotamus's House, you can see it flying!?
And this zoo has "Mogu Mogu Time", feeding animals, with respect to each animal.
Each Mog Mog time, unique exhibition, is shown by zookeepers with humorous episodes.
This is a small zoo outside a fairly small city in north island of Japan and still more visitors come here than Ueno zoo in Tokyo which is the most historical and famous zoo in Japan. All I'd say is enjoy the zoo for what it is :)
Asahiyama Zoo was much better than I expected, and is a must-visit if ever visit Asahikawa, Hokkaido.
