I went to see Kiboko the hippo at Himeji City Zoo

The female hippopotamus, Kiboko, is 39 years old this year. I stared at her for a while, but she didn't move an inch. That's what makes her so cute. A soothing space spreads out at Himeji City Zoo, next to Himeji Castle. If you're sightseeing in Himeji, be sure to stop by.
