Visited here on Christmas day and I regret spending my time and money visiting. Pretty much as soon as I entered, I saw that they locked a beaver up in a box that’s about 5x its size, and the beaver was chewing on the bars desperately trying to get out. I saw toucans in underground exhibitions where they can’t see natural light. The owls were literally tied to the signposts with rope on their leg! I was about to take a picture of one on a sign until I saw how it was being kept there, and decided against it because I did not want to remember its leg on a rope. Many other small animals were kept in pretty tiny areas where some kept running around the perimeters of their enclosure. Even the capybara onsen was underwhelming, the viewing area was full of people and all the commentary was in Japanese (which I can’t fault them for because it’s literally Japan, but I was pretty bored watching the onsen exhibit). The capybara petting zoo was about the only nice/unforgettable thing about this place. How they kept some of the kangaroos and other free-roaming mammals was also an area where I can praise them. But seeing how they kept many of the other animals just made me feel miserable!! If I could go back in time I would skip this place and enjoy my time in Japan elsewhere. I felt like I was not supporting a good cause :(
