RECAP our Summer Trip to Nasu
Summer Trip to Nasu
- Nasu Animal Kingdom
Nasu, just one hour away from Tokyo.
It is one of the famous resort places in Japan.
In order to go around the huge Nasu area,
car rental is very common then.
Since there is not yet many foreign visitors to
come to Nasu; therefore, transportation facilities and services is not
well-provided.
Although there is not yet many foreign visitors
come to Nasu, tourists has begun to get to know about this area and spent a
visit recently.
This time I would like to tell you about my trip to
Nasu.

open-wide environment!
The most attractive ones are penguins!
Capybara

in South America,
Capybara
is the largest rodent animals.
They
have no tails, use both feet to move in the water.
Just
the same as what has written on the dictionary, nothing interesting!
But
when you see them in real, you will feel the same as me too!
Absolutely
cute!
Everyone,

Though
they walk very slowly on the ground, they are like flying-fish in the water!
Foot bath
Here we are in Nasu Animals Kingdom, seeing
capybaras while enjoying foot bath at the same time.
Of course, we are not on the same bath with
capybaras.
A beautiful turn brings together with a perfect
performance.
Oh! No! Are you drowned? Are you okay?
Want to hug the capybaras!
Baby capybara
We can feed them!
