......pandas were sleeping......

Because of the blue sky, we went to the Ueno Zoo.
The Ueno Zoo is a 14.3-hectare (35-acre) zoo, managed by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, and located in Taitō, Tokyo, Japan.

It is Japan's oldest zoo, opening on March 20, 1882.
However, it's still popular.

The ticket machine with the cute animal illustrations.

The information.

There are some guide tours.

You can see the giant panda there.

Let's go!

Oh?

A giant panda was there.
However, the female panda シンシン(真真;Shin Shin) was sleeping......

How about the male panda リーリー(力力;Riri)?

Uhm......

They gaily came to Japan on Feb. 21st 2011 by ANA Panda Jet (FLY ! Panda) Boeing 767-300ER.
