The best experience to have with families and friends. The hand on of picking, stuffing and sewing your character became an amazing learning experience while having an enjoyable moment set in a simplistic settings. It is reasonably priced for memories collected and cherished for many years upon reminiscing the one hour spent making a Totoro, the Cat Bus or teddy bears.

After successfully obtaining the bus pass next to Ito Station, I happily boarded the bus heading towards Mt. Omuro. There were many uphill sections along the way, and the bus driver's driving skills were quite proficient. The final stop was Mt. Omuro. I even got a discount on the Mt. Omuro cable car with the bus pass, which was so great and definitely worth it!

The animals at the zoo are very approachable. Besides the famous capybaras, the bird sanctuary is also worth a visit. Peacocks will occasionally pass by, displaying their plumage for everyone to admire. There are also many opportunities to feed the animals, and both children and adults have a great time.
