点评:There are two ways of looking at this zoo: One is cruel and exploitative, the other is fun and amusing.
If you are a person who does not believe that animals of any sort should be in a zoo, then this place is not for you. I do fall in that category, but my husband wanted to go, so I did.
First off: we brought our dog. They are okay with dogs walking through the grounds, but there are any number of exhibits (i.e. exotic birds) into which you cannot bring your pet. So, keep it in mind.
This is a fairly large place. There is a TON of cactus, like, everywhere. Also, since apparently Japan believes that cactus is a Mexican thing, there is a LOT of Mexican music playing almost everywhere.
That said: the cactus is amazing and well cared for and if you're into cactus, you will have fun.
As for the animals: there are many which I have never seen and some which I have never heard of. The animals were all peaceful and they looked fine. Some had very exclusive spots where you could not get close to them; others were clearly on display. There were also free-roaming peacocks, which were beautiful to look at (although if you've ever heard a peacock's voice, you might think it is a wild cat in heat. So be prepared.
There are a greenhouse for more exotic plants, and a tunnel where certain "critters" are kept, and you can view them through windows. That said, the stench of their droppings was undeniable, so you might be racing through that.
There was of course a gift shop and several "restaurants" serving standard Japanese fare -- edible but not delicious.
There was also an animal "show" -- which we missed because of the time, and I'm glad we did, because I don't like exploiting animals in that way. But you can walk into the theater and listen to more insanely loud "music" and you can see the stage and the toys and the obstacle course and you'll get the idea super quickly.
Overall, if you have kids, this might be a fun place to go. We went on a holiday and it was crowded; I can't imagine it being crowded on a regular weekday. Also the price is a bit steep to enter a "zoo," but considering the upkeep, I think it was fair.
翻译:有两种看待这个动物园的方式:一种是残酷和剥削的,另一种是有趣和有趣的。
如果您不相信任何种类的动物都应该在动物园里,那么这个地方不适合您。我确实属于这一类,但我丈夫想去,所以我去了。
首先:我们带了我们的狗。他们允许狗在公园里散步,但有很多展品(即珍奇鸟类)您不能带宠物进去。所以,请记住这一点。
这是一个相当大的地方。到处都有大量的仙人掌。此外,由于日本显然认为仙人掌是墨西哥的东西,所以几乎到处都播放着很多墨西哥音乐。
也就是说:仙人掌非常棒,而且得到了很好的照顾,如果你喜欢仙人掌,你会玩得很开心。
至于动物:有很多是我没见过的,有的是我从来没有听说过的。动物们都很平静,看起来也很好。有些有非常独特的地方,你无法接近它们;其他的则清晰地展示出来。还有自由自在的孔雀,看起来很漂亮(不过如果你听过孔雀的声音,你可能会认为这是一只发情的野猫。所以要做好准备。
这里有一个种植更多外来植物的温室,还有一个饲养某些“小动物”的隧道,你可以通过窗户看到它们。也就是说,它们粪便的恶臭是不可否认的,所以你可能会快速穿过它。
当然还有一家礼品店和几家提供标准日本料理的“餐厅”——可以吃,但不好吃。
还有一场动物“表演”——由于时间原因我们错过了,我很高兴我们错过了,因为我不喜欢以这种方式剥削动物。但你可以走进剧院,听更疯狂的“音乐”,你可以看到舞台、玩具和障碍训练场,你很快就会明白这个想法。
总的来说,如果你有孩子,这可能是一个有趣的地方。我们是去度假的,那里很拥挤;我无法想象在平常的工作日这里会如此拥挤。另外,进入“动物园”的价格有点贵,但考虑到维护,我认为这是公平的。
