Today morning after check out, we will be leaving for the popular Asahiyama Zoo. Winter will bring you a very different experience, as the entire outdoor will be blanket with white and soft powdery snow. It will bring you full unique winter experiences.

them roaming and playing in the snow. You will get to see the favorites penguins being taken for a walk on the snow close to you.

On the way, beautiful scenery stayed alongside with us.

Wow...... awesome! 

Pardon me, as this was my first time "live" in this scene.

The zoo start at 10:30am and can be very heavy traffic to the carpark.

Everyone excitedly queuing up both sides waiting for the adorable and charming Penguin.

Took a video of them like models marching out.

See how they behave like Supermodel. Some with head high.

Must be tired with their short legs walking around. Time to be back.

Didn't manage to take this shot of the seal swim through the glass pipe, where everyone will

shout and cheers! *Photo from japan-guide
