Chiba Zoological Park

It's a small zoo in Chiba city, about 50 minutes from Tokyo by train.

The nearest station is "Dobutsukoen" station of Chiba Urban Monorail.

You can see many animals such as kangaroo, penguin, reindeer, elephant, giraffe... and much more.

But the most famous animal in this zoo is lesser panda. Lesser panda named "Futa"（風太） has family, and people come to the zoo to see them.

But, why they are so famous?

"stand up!" but this is not "futa".

HC Nikko Ice Bucks is the only professional hockey team in Japan.

The Bucks based on Tochigi Nikko Shimofuri Ice Arena.

Nikko- 3(Lake Chuzenji and Kegon Waterfall)

Visiting old shrines and temples, enjoying local foods, hiking in marshland. 
Is there anything I've forgot?

Yes!
Don't forget to visit  a beautiful lake in mountains.
It's Lake Chuzenji.
And you can also find Kegon Waterfall near the lake. 
Though there are several waterfalls in Nikko, this Kegon waterfall is the most famous one.
