Activities: We visited Ueno Zoo, located in Ueno Park in central Tokyo. We saw the giant panda, elephant, rhinoceros, tiger, giraffe, and monkeys. It is a bit cramped, so the animals are sometimes in somewhat cramped quarters
Highlights: We enjoyed seeing the animals, especially the giant panda. It was nice to have a change of pace from the city ✨
