So cute, I want to visit every day!
A small petting zoo with an ocean view has NEWLY OPENED on Hakata Island 𖠿𖥧𖥣｡
I went there following Google Maps, but I overshot it at one point, and the road was a bit narrow, which made my poor driving skills anxious, but I managed to get there eventually (lol).
The admission fee is 600 yen ✎*
After paying at the entrance and stepping inside, micro pig 'Ucchan' was leisurely strolling right in front of me ♩*.
Following Ucchan, I encountered two goats, 'Miruku' (Milk) and 'Mee,' and had the experience of feeding them ⟡.·*.
After that, I got to pet the guinea pigs and the new bunny... Oh, they were so cute that I wanted to visit every day (lol).
I was also introduced to 'Kid-kun,' a Richardson's ground squirrel, and got to watch him eat his favorite food, cucumber ♡
He was incredibly cute too ♡♡ Thank you very much ¨̮⑅*
There were other animals in the garden too, so if you're interested, please go and visit 𖤥𖤘⋆*
