Hirakawa Zoo

#familytrips2024 This place was amazing. The best zoo l've ever been to. Quiet and huge. Very little smell from animal dung. Really well managed and spruced up. We went on a monday and it felt like we owned the place. l'd go to Kagoshima just for this zoo. It's not Disney Land, but the lush environment make the zoo feel like it's a natural part of the landscape. (in a way it is) the fee is so cheap, too. 500 yen for an adult and my kid got to go in for free!! I'm normally not a fan of zoos, but I felt in love with this one.
