Nogeyama zoo is a free entry zoo located at Nogeyama park with not so many animal but still ok for me. One of most famous one here is red panda, they really cute but it depend on your luck cause sometime they're sleeping and you don't have much chance to see them play with each other. Another plus point for this zoo is free chance to interact with guine pig and small lab mouse. Each session is about 40 minutes. They will conduct a session to show you how to handle with them first (in Japanese, I don't know if English version is available but I think it's not). Please make sure you understand this well because this is important for safety when get in here. When enter you can freely choose any guine pig, chicken you want to pet and have a nice time with them. The lab mouse is my favorite one, they are not to pet but to play with. They love to climb so be careful. Another caution is after play with the lab mouse your cloth may smell a little bit (maybe). The zoo have small food court area and small picnic area, quite family friendly in my opinion. At the end it's not a big zoo but I love it. #givethanks #givethanks
