Penguins

This cute, little animals originated from cold area such as Arctic and Antarctica. However, it is not possible to see and meet them without having to go there (it’s really far and cold, trust me you don’t want to go there). That picture was taken when I went to Yokohama Hakkeijima Sea Paradise, and it was amazing! I personally love penguins so much, and it surprised me of how much they have in there. The artificial habitat they provide for the penguins look real and comfortable. Not only can you see penguins, but also there are tons of other animals that can make your visit worth it. The experience I gained from my visit cannot be compared with other aquariums I’ve visited, and that’s how good this aquarium is! I would definitely love to come back again and again.

Playing with Capybara

Harajuku is a wonderful place where you can find many unique stores. My friend and I coincidentally stumbled upon a Zoo Cafe (動物園カフェ) a few weeks ago. Unlike cat cafe, dog cafe, and owl cafe which are common to be found in Japan, this cafe provides animals that you can’t see easily. There are small monkeys, hedgehogs, hamsters, meerkats, fennec, ferret, and even capybara! The entrance fee is 1500 JPY (incl. drink) for 30 minutes and we can play with all of the animals. We can also buy additional animal food to feed to the animals. My friend and I loves capybara the most. It is very cooperative that when we give our palms, it would calmly put his hand on top of it. So cute! This place is highly recommended.
