🌏 Japan | Kobe

Whether you're a big or little friend, if you're in Kobe, don't miss this tiny zoo. It's a super fun paradise where you can interact with small animals every 2 to 3 meters; here, humans are definitely the guests, and the animals are the hosts. 😉 🚇 Transportation: Directly buy a package ticket from Kobe Sannomiya. It's 2200 yen for adults and includes round-trip tickets. For children over 9, it's 1600 yen. The journey passes by a sea area in Kobe, with a very Japanese daily life vibe, and the scenery is fantastic. Don't just play with your phone and miss the views along the way. Once you get off the tram 🚎, you're at the magical animal kingdom. Though small, this place has everything. It can be said that among the zoos I've visited so far, this one has the top comprehensive experience. There are more than 100 species of animals living here, flying in the sky, walking on the ground, and swimming in the water. Each area has specific animal interactions with keepers every hour, and visitors can also feed the animals personally, getting in zero-distance contact with them. There's no glass or mesh separating people and animals here, preserving the concept of nature and humans coexisting and co-prospering. The staff thoughtfully only sell food to visitors during the animals' feeding times. There are signs here reminding visitors to watch their steps and not kick the small animals because they really can walk up to you and secretly watch you. The star of the show is a shoebill stork, known as the "Siberian Husky of the bird world." Don't miss the chance to get up close and personal. There are also many other adorable animals, such as parrots that can learn to say "Konnichiwa," a group of emotionally stable capybaras, slow-moving sloths, cute otters, penguins, kangaroos... If you love animals, it's recommended to plan a whole day here. It's definitely worth the trip, with dining and water purchase areas. The food is also very delicious 😋. It's definitely a hidden gem travel spot that you'll want to visit over and over again. Tips: Finally, exit through the south gate, which leads to the subway station 🚇 #Kobe #KobeAnimalKingdom #KobeTravel #KobeHiddenGems #Osaka #Japan
