  • Disgusting Exhibition
    By A Yahoo! Contributor, 01/14/08
    In all of the zoos that I have visited in my life, this was, by far, the worst in terms of animal habitat, especially when it comes to the big animals. Amazingly small enclosures, resulting in animals that appear to be in poor health, and seem neurotic or lethargic. Put it this way: the Japanese appear to be in love with the Koala bears. Thus, ...

  • Higashiyama!
    By A Yahoo! Contributor, 12/16/06
    This zoo was great for the younger kids, as there were plety of exciting new animals we dont see often in Britain, but for my older children, they though it was a bit boring. Although there were plenty of animals, they didnt look to happy, which distressed my teenage daughter. The botanical garden were pretty good though, and all of my children ...

  • Sad little animals
    By A Yahoo! Contributor, 06/27/06
    Unfortunately, the zoo was more of a cage than a zoo. There were only a few animals who had enough room to enjoy life, while the other animals had to make due with crumby, concrete, claustrauphobic, and unkempt conditions. It was a sad day at the zoo.

    The botanical gardens were lovely, but not worth going to since the poor animal conditions darkened the day.

  • Skip zoo, head for gardens
    By A Yahoo! Contributor, 03/14/06
    The zoo here is absolutely wretched - if you'd like to see why animal cruelty laws have been enacted in various places around the globe, this is a great place to check out. There are plenty of examples of animals pacing and exhibiting repetative behavior patterns, apparently having gone insane due to the tight confinement. Really sad.

    You ...

  • Old school Zoo
    By A Yahoo! Contributor, 02/26/05
    This is my second trip to the zoo/park.

    The first trip was to scout it out, I went for the 10,000(or something like that) steps walk around the park. There should be lots of green come spring/summer, potentially nice for a quick weekend trip in Japan.
    The second trip was with my 3 yr old daughter, she liked seeing all the animals, and the ...
