The Zoo near our house

Higashiyama Zoo - The enterance

3rd & 9th Nov -2008

We moved to our rental apartment just beside Nagoya University on the 3rd day after we landed in Japan. Without any internet and transport it's really hard to know around without wandering around.
The good thing is that there is a zoo ( Higashiyama Zoo ) just in a walking distance from our apartment. It's about 10 to 15 minutes walking only. The entrance fee is just 500yen (±5USD) for adult and it's free for kids until 15years old. The zoo itself is really big and even got a pond that can ride the paddling boat, an amusement park that has a ferris wheel and also a botanical garden and an observation tower called Skytower but the tower is in separate fee.
My kids seems to enjoyed the zoo very much.

On the 2nd Nov we went for the 1st time, on the 9th we went with another friend from Okayama University. He and his family came to Nagoya due to he has a conference here in Nagoya. Due to he also got a limited time to go around Nagoya, we decided to go the the zoo.
