One of the most exciting things that we did in Japan was visit Ueno Zoo. We spent two days there. The kids were free, and Marisol and I paid $6 each for adult admission. Joel and Amelia really enjoyed seeing the animals.
Here is the Farnsworth family "monkeying around."
This is a replica of a dwelling used for the famous Japanese tea ceremony.
The sea lions captivated our attention.
The llama and his friends the capybaras and tapirs.
We visited the Japanese macaques.
One of the many bears on display in Bear Hill.
I wonder how that bear stayed so still for the picture!
Back to the sea lions for a family picture.
Unfortunately the real panda from the zoo, Ling Ling, died last year.
Hippopatamuses are not the only hungry ones, and this elephant is determined to eat.
A visit with the flamingos. "Flamencos" in Spanish. Now you know where the name of the famous dance comes from!
A shoebill stork, up close and personal.
Joel and Amelia "rode" the lizard. Then we rode the subway train back to the guest house. You can visit the Ueno Zoological Gardens online at
