We were there on a rainy / Taifun day with a lot of Asian people with the same idea. But this was not the problem, why I only give one star!

In the Zoo were a lot of animals with much more need on space than they get. The Japanese crane couple with their child had maximum 7-8 qm space. So proud and beautiful animals. But it’s get worse and worse. You can feed (for a fee of 200 Yen) land turtles, which „live“ on the floor every customer is walking on and it’s dark the hole day. When you enter the place, there were two turtles starring and not moving. They look so sad. The other turtles run to the customers for the food, so I had in my mind that they don‘t get enough food from the staff. But the worst thing I ever saw was, that you can sit or ride on a big land turtle (for a fee of 1.000 Yen). Image getting over 100 years old and a child is riding on your back. The turtles were not allowed to go in their outside space, but two really big ones tried really hard to open the door and the male staff guy pushed them - on a not good looking way - through the compound. After that the next customers came in for the ride and the photo of it. This opportunity was often used by Asian families and I was so upset about that. I‘m happy that kind of zoo is prohibited in Germany!
