I didn't even know that Utsunomiya had a zoo until I lived here for over a year. The zoo is small; small animals in a small zoo looked mostly comfortable; big animals in a small zoo looked a bit unhappy. (Although even the small squirrel monkey in the picture has kind of a sad "I'm in jail" look--well, OK, maybe that's just my imagination...) The fun thing is you can actually feed the animals and get very close to them. Half of the park is the zoo, and the other half is a small amusement park that looks like it hasn't been changed since the 1960s. Nozomi agreed to go on the small roller coaster with me and said that it was actually kind of fun (other than when it was scary-now that I'm thinking about it, if the park really HASN'T been changed since the 1960s, that roller coaster really COULD be scary...). Fantastic weather and a fun day!
