Thank you for reading.
I’m Hirotamar, writing this article.
After hearing about the Dandelions’ signboard as a sponsor, four of us who joined the company this year visited Higashiyama Zoo.
Spotted a vivid flamingo
As I walked through the park, the first to greet me were the beautiful flamingos.
There are two types here: the Greater Flamingo and the Chilean Flamingo. Their vivid crimson color was truly striking. Some flamingos were resting with their necks tucked into their bodies, and just watching them was soothing.
Encountering a walking koala
This time, I was lucky enough to see a koala walking around—something I usually only get to see sleeping!
Koalas seem like they move slowly, but they’re surprisingly quick on their feet. The photo I took ended up being just of its back…

Spotted a sponsor’s sign!
It started raining halfway there, so I hurried over and successfully found the “Dandelions” sponsor sign, one of my goals!
Unfortunately, there were no lions, but I was able to take a commemorative photo in front of the sign.
Seeing the sign in person really made me feel how our company contributes to the zoo.
Fluffy Red Panda
Right next to the sign was the red panda zone, and their fluffy fur and adorable little figures soothed my heart.
Their appearance almost made me mistake them for raccoons, but they were definitely red pandas!

Animal-themed lunch was a huge hit
We took a slightly early lunch break at the restaurant.
I had the popular side dish set and the red panda American dog, but there were also plenty of other meals and desserts themed around Higashiyama Zoo animals, and they all looked delicious!
The American dog shaped like a red panda’s tail had caramel and cocoa flavors, and the outside was like a sweet candy-like American dog. It had a unique taste and was delicious.
During this tour, we enjoyed the zoo while searching for the Dandelions’ sign and seeing various animals. It was a great memory that also deepened our bonds with our peers!
That’s all for today’s Higashiyama Zoo Diary.
Stay tuned for the next installment!!
