Ueno Zoo is famous for its pandas but it has a wide range of other animals from tigers and gorillas to llamas and hamsters.
Luckily for cheapos there are three days a year that admission is free: March 20 (Ueno Zoo’s Anniversary Day), May 4 (Greenery Day), and October 1 (Tokyo Citizens’ Day).
To prevent the spread of COVID-19, many events have been canceled. Always check official sites before heading to an event.
