Toki Forest Park — Attraction in Sado

A bird park and garden, though it is not extremely big. Set aside, say, an hour or so. This location is a must-see for Sado Island, since you can see crested ibis birds in the flesh. Other related birds are also available, as is a museum regarding the birds, and a mascot who turned out to be surprisingly fun to take photos with. (The character in my photo is Torisumi Horou, a crested ibis.) I was impressed by the staff's ability to answer various questions about the birds in general, as well as about the specific crested ibis in the breeding cage area. Do note that you need to be lucky for the crested ibis to go close to the viewing windows -- typically, they'll be far away, and you can only see them through telescopes (pictured). There is a souvenir shop and an ice cream store available. Lastly, fees are minimal, and almost surely worth paying anyway to contribute to the island's nature...

I absolutely loved the experience. I was a bit sceptical at first about animals living in cages. But I came to find that they treat the animals well. The staff explained a lot about the birds, especially about the couple in the breeding (which starts next month) cage. Safe from snow and rain, with fresh living fish to eat! Toki a absolutely cute birds! You should come here! And be careful when the last bus leaves. The staff even reminded me of the imminent leave. Great service! If you miss it - there are some beautiful shrines and temples in the area! A stroll around the neighborhood...
