Morioka Zoo

One sunny afternoon, Rick and I visited Morioka zoo. I had never been previously due to reports of animal cruelty, but it seemed ok actually. There were a few mangy looking raccoon dogs, and a slightly upsetting scene with lions in boxes, but other than that they seemed to have lots of space. And for only 400 yen, it was definitely a pleasant afternoon, and there were some amazing views as it is right up in the mountains surrounding Morioka.
