I was surprised to learn that even back in the Edo period, Japan already had a strong awareness of fire prevention.

Shizuoka Municipal Nihondaira Zoo
Located at the foot of Nihondaira, one of Japan’s leading scenic spots overlooking Mt. Fuji and Suruga Bay, this zoo keeps around 560 animals from about 130 species. It is known for its behavioral exhibits, where animals living energetically in environments close to their natural habitats are a major attraction. Animals are displayed in a variety of facilities that make it easy to understand the characteristics of each species, including the powerful “Predator House 299,” where you can observe fierce animals such as polar bears, lions, and Amur tigers up close, and the “Flying Mega Dome,” where birds fly freely inside one of the largest flying cages in Japan.
This zoo is clean overall, and the layout is pretty visitor-friendly. There are lots of different animals, and the atmosphere feels relaxed, so it never feels stressful or overly crowded.
A lot of the animals were active too, instead of just sleeping, which made it more fun to walk around. -

Welcomed by the gargantuan 19.7-meter, life-sized Unicorn Gundam statue, DiverCity Tokyo Plaza embodies its concept as a "theatrical urban space," offering a place to play, learn, relax, and just take in each moment of surprise and inspiration. Tantalize all five senses at this unforgettable destination that’s like none ever before.
The stuff sold here is more expensive than in other shops.

Shin-Marunouchi Building
Among the skyscrapers of Tokyo, a commercial complex with a stylish black exterior as its basic theme stands out. It is known by the nickname Shin-Marubiru.
The building has an elegant and classy exterior, and the location is excellent.
