Recreation: “We Went to Higashiyama Zoo and Botanical Gardens!”

At Dandelions, we regularly hold “Recreation” events to deepen the camaraderie among employees!

This is “George” from Unit 3. As previously introduced in this blog, Dandelions has become a sponsor of the young lion “Regulus” at the Higashiyama Zoo and Botanical Gardens. To go see “Regulus” (and other animals) together, Unit 3 organized a recreation event—a visit to the Higashiyama Zoo and Botanical Gardens.

After the date was set for Saturday, October 19, we kept an eye on the weather forecast. Unfortunately, the weather didn’t favor us on the day—it rained, and it was unusually hot and humid for October. However, even while walking around with umbrellas, we were able to thoroughly enjoy the zoo and botanical gardens.

To make touring the zoo and botanical gardens even more interesting, we also held an animal scavenger hunt game. Participants earned points by finding specific animals, taking photos, and submitting them, with points awarded based on their rarity (difficulty of finding them). The recreation participants were divided into four teams and set out to find the animals.

(By the way, before going to the zoo and botanical gardens, we all had lunch together at a nearby restaurant.)

Stay tuned for the introduction of our next recreation event!
