We visited the Ueno Zoo in Tokyo and saw our first panda ever :-) They look extremely cute I have to say, sitting there on their butts and eating bamboo all day. 

They’re so cool! They are the main attraction of Ueno Zoo, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t any other exotic animals around:

I really enjoyed this zoo! The animals seemed quite happy too, being very active and playing around (unlike the zoo in Kyoto with its small cages…). I’d recommend a visit when you’re in the Ueno area :-)
