PERSONAL THOUGHTS:
★★★★★
Totally awesome! Buy some food at the park (100 yen) an prepare yourself to be assaulted by little squirrels who are desperate to eat your sunflower seeds! You'll find Japanese people kneeling down to feed the little jumpers, but trust me... just stand up and let them climb all over you! That's so much more fun! (Beware, don't wear clothing that could easily tear! Tiny squirrels have tiny nails!) They also have a bunch of bunnies and a good lot of guinea pigs that you're also allowed to feed, but not hold. However, they do have a separate space where you can hold the balls of fluff! It's not very big, but a lot of fun!
RECOMMENDED!!
