Tokyo

We arrived in Tokyo on May 1st. The first thing we did was head for Inokashira Park Zoo to see the guinea pigs, or morumotto as they are called here. I believe the worker there said they have somewhere between 160 and 180 of them there.







We also got to see some one week old guinea pigs.






Some of the animals I would not have recognized. Like this Japanese "raccoon"












There were all kinds of animals there from goats








to monkeys









Unfortunately they didn't do a show with the guinea pigs like they showed on YouTube, but it was still a great place to visit. The highlight being Hanako, who just turned 65. She is the oldest elephant in Japan.
