Ueno Zoo

One of Japan's most beloved zoos, Ueno Zoo includes many unusual animals, such as Hokkaido brown beans, Japanese macaques, and wild cormorants.

Reviewed By David27feb - Burns Beach, Australia

Let me start by advising that as a family we have been to many zoos around the world and we are zoo friend members at our local zoo in Perth. Ueno zoo was fantastic, very well run and you could see that the animals were being well looked after which is always a consideration. The panda , polar bear , guerrilla and well manicured gardens and shrines combined with some good places to eat were a winning combination overall. Very easy to get there by public transport either metro or JR.

Tokyo Sea Life Park

Reviewed By Hsien_Teh - Singapore, Singapore

Lovely place to spend 2-3 hours. The entrance to the building itself is such a novelty and should be a very nice photo opportunity on a sunny day. Like most other visitors who reviewed this attraction, we found the huge tuna mesmerising. But we also loved the simulated coast line with a wave generator. It was nice to see rare local specimens like the goblin fish and those that live in deeper waters.

Great value so much to see and don’t miss the dolphin show both during the day and at night. Don’t forget to get you hand stamped so you can come and go all day.

Shinagawa Aquarium

Reviewed By sammy1987 - Wigan, United Kingdom

Visited here on a rainy day and glad we did. Really enjoyed the dolphin and sea lion shows. And the shark tank was cool Didn’t cost much to enter either. We also visited the restaurant after which was also really good. It’s only a small aquarium but so much better than we have in the UK It’s all wheelchair accessible to and you can even borrow a chair there if you wish. Would visit again

Machida Squirrel Garden

Reviewed By 711idrisj - Bangi, Malaysia

Very cute little garden with loads of squirrels! Nothing fancy, just lots of cute little squirrels running and jumping around. There is a section featuring a whole lot of guinea pigs, then some smaller chipmunks in enclosures. You can pay for small buckets of vegetables to feed the guinea pigs. In addition You'll see rabbits, turtles and various other animals. But the highlight is the free roaming area where you can buy packets of sunflower seeds (comes with a mitten) and feed the squirrels. My grandchildren really enjoyed the vacation.
