What a lovely Ueno park, huge Zoo with various animals including sleeping and non-sleeping Panda babys and adults - interesting but I have missed the Lion King so much - Rion and Lion meeting at Ueno Zoo would have been top of the tops - perhaps another time. What a lunch for a single person. It was hard for me to count the number of the plates in front of you not to mention I could eat that much, but our Rion with his Lion appetite has been succesful in it regardles if more or less spicy. In the end delicios sweets - no wonder he left totally full and as a cherry on the cake finally our Rion could have win something from the claw machine - a tigny but cute PANDA - what a master editing integration of the main PANDA theme. Congrets Rion for that. Let' keep on walking together!!! GAAOOO!!!!!

Indeed, baby animals are just like human babies.🐼 You can't anticipate what is happening. The full course of Chinese Cuisine looks scrumptious. Probably next time you should consider having the soup dumplings (xiao long bao) first by poking a small hole to drain the hot soup onto the soup first then have it with shredded gingers and vinegar.🥢🥟 Maybe you should try out Ding Tai Fung at Tokyo. Century eggs. Probably you should try it in the Cantonese porridge. Have a good week ahead. I can't wait for upcoming your Sunday Livestream (falls coincidentally on my birthday).

I also went to Ueno zoo last week. I love the kind and generous heartwarming atmosphere that you create, your kind, easygoing, warm vibe. ❤

[@tns-rox]

This was such an enjoyable video, Rion. Love Ueno park. The Zoo was sugoi. The tiger and the pandas were beautiful. I want to visit there one day. Your lunch looked meccha oishi. Omedetougozaimasu, you finally won at the Claw machine! A tiny panda. So cute. Arigatougozaimasu ! 👍🐼

[@wrestlcub]

Thank you for another happy experience! Love this!

[@mojojowan]

Even you didn’t see the baby panda in action, at least you got a baby panda in claw machine 😂👍 Panda-kun has a companion now 😊 Thank you for bringing us to Ueno Zoo on this week’s edited video! Take care always and God bless! 🙏 😊

[@_EnEm_]

A baby panda in claw machine, another Tokyo buddy! 🤣

[@Grace-bj3xd]

That food looks delicious! and the Pandas were so cute 🥰 Great video Rion! Keep it up, gaoooo 🤍

[@christycpark]

Love panda ❤ lovely video and happy to see what’s inside this zoo 😆 Lizard does looks like dinosaur 😂

[@purpleglasses731]

Thanks for the entertaining video! All the animals, including the panda, were so cute. The restaurant also seemed to be accommodating and delicious too. Maybe it was because of the ceramic material of the bowl that kept the mapo tofu boiling hot for so long. Anyway, thanks for the hard work!

[@drewgo13]

So much food. Such a great deal. You did great finishing it all. 😋

[@YuSaizo]

Somehow it's so nostalgic and exciting for me to watch all those places on the film, where I was there literally 2 weeks ago 😅❤

Thank you for showing us the Ueno zoo.

Pandas are so cute, baby pandas are even more cute! 😍

[@firefangz]

Ah that settles it, I'm going to Ueno Zoo when I'm over later this year!

[@smeLLyphant37]

Omg the zoo is so cheap!!! I love the elephants and pandas!!! ❤❤❤ Almond pudding was a great choice! My go to all the time! The preserved duck egg is super good too!!! Thank you for another video! 😊

[@sherylramos2041]

Thanks for taking us to Ueno. I’ll be visiting Tokyo this coming Autumn and Ueno is included in my itinerary. I will visit the National Museum of Nature and Science and of course Ueno Park.

[@1dreamysky]

I will be visiting in autumn too, but since my schedule is tight, I probably won`t include the Zoo. btw: there are many animal cafe! cat Cafe-Shiba Inu Cafe- Hedgehog cafe :) planning to visit them all hahahha

[@joyk2419]

What a fun zoo!

[@brianmitchell8215]

The zoo has changed since we visited in 2008 much improved, went to see the giant panda but he had passed away, the local visitors were very helpful, we had a problem with the ticket machine they sorted it for us, finding the zoo from the station was confusing for kiwi tourists wonderful people sent us the right way,

[@williamwong334]

haha, Pidan is nice to be served with congee. You may try next time . 😀

[@_EnEm_]

Rion, this was such a lovely walk at Ueno Park on a fine weather. Oh my, I guess it was baby Panda's 🐼 sleeping time until you came to visit her! 🤣 Great yummy Chinese sumptuous lunch, with my fave almond jelly! That was lucky of you to be able to get one cute "panda" buddy for Wan Wan and Hotdog. 😄

[@mojojowan]

The Tokyo Buddies family is getting bigger now ❤❤❤

[@chazeljoaquin1387]

Congrats in getting the little panda hahaha finally!, I am a female solo traveler from Manila, It was my first time in Japan 2 weeks ago, I enjoyed Ueno area, I ate fresh cherries and strawberries in Ameyoko, went to the zoo etc etc...I miss Tokyo.

[@user-iw2md2gl4q]

protect this precious man at all cost ❤

[@katelyneason451]

What a fun day in Ueno! I'm definitely going to see if I can check it out on my trip. The Chinese restaurant looked so good. I liked the lunch deal where you could try multiple dishes. I make Mapo Tofu at home sometimes, but I bet it's better there. I also lost it at 11:32. I didn't know they had Red Pandas too! They are my favorite

[@vacant-state]

What a surprise! I am for the first time in Japan after following your channel for years! Your walks and streams have been an inspiration for some things to do and I arrive at Ueno yesterday and staying in the area! Sadly because of the typhoon the weather is really rainy right now, so I don't think I can enjoy Ueno park, but I am glad the weather was nice for you!

[@peterzheng1068]

rion + spicy food = best combo

[@RionIshida]

😂

[@marurosado9722]

Thank you for this wonderful trip to the zoo! I was watching the gorilas on instagram, and decided to look for a web cam of the zoo, I didn't find it, but on the way I find your video and I love it ❤ Thank you very much! 🎉 The food looked delicious yom!

[@happyhuang9541]

2:30 I love Japan is year-round, and you can enjoy different beautiful flowers and plants in any season. Sanpo is really fun in Ueno Park, there are harmonica performers, and even monkeys have to be with 🦁～GaÖ～. 14:53 The weather is rare, and baby pandas love to sleep😴. Beijing roast duck restaurant has 9 dishes just 1,980 JPY, which is really good 👍! 19:50 😖🥵 Rion should be a lion's tongue, how could it become a cat's tongue! 22:25 6 x 🌬️ = 😖🥵, 22:05 👍👍 see Rion eat every dish with gusto😋. 27:39 🙌😄🐼 yeh! finally got it, super cute. 28:39 😯 Japan also sells pitan, which is great 😃, if I have the opportunity to come to Ameyoko street, I will definitely buy it 😋😄! 29:26 Goodbye Ueno Panda👋! why the lion GaÖ means "This land is my land. You get out of here." 💪🤨! Thank you so much for Rion let’s keep walking to Ueno Zoo to watch animals and eat delicious food at restaurants on Ueno Street🤝!

[@jomama_808]

We were just there in Ueno for sakura season 💗🌸💗

[@cherylsemrau7100]

Animals go back and forth because they don't have enough room and stimulation. I don't really like zoos. But if people have one the zoo should be natural and have boundless space for the animals. Also need their own companions.

[@lepearcreatif]

I agree, less animals, with better conditions. And birds in cages should be a crime.

[@ramenpharmacist]

wow that tofu must have been really spicyyy 😆

[@Sakura_gaoo]

[@kelvinwong4734]

Surprised you got the course meal! Someone is splurging 😂 Looking forward to Mt. Fuji!

[@bluebillys.7673]

Hello Rion, love the video! I was at Ueno Zoo 2014. It look like they moved the pandas. I remember the pandas was next to the main entrance. Ueno zoo is so big, I end up spending the whole day there!😊😊😊

[@see2travel]

You probably should have a B-roll of all the dishes first before you start eating. But at that price, it is really affordable.

[@ttman1233]

@3.34 'this is a tiny shrine.' I visited that temple on my first trip to Japan, and while it's not grand like others, this was a gem for me, having been the first temple I found in Japan on my first day wandering through Ueno Park. The torii gates lining the path I took were amazing. IIRC, I went backwards compared to his directions, so I walked through the gates before reaching the temple. There's also a Temple modeled after Kiyomizu Temple in Kyoto within a 10 minute walk, including the always frequent 'where are we now?'. There's even a temple/shrine dedicated to the Tokugawa clan who united Japan. If you have one spot/park to choose to get a dose of Japan, visit Ueno Park. I'm sure there are others but I consider myself so lucky to have chosen Ueno Park to get that first look, just by coincidence.

[@EverydayTruths-247]

good

[@sw4692]

Pi-dan (thousand year old egg) - mix it in very hot congee. Sliced pi-dan served with fresh young ginger slices and soy sauce with light sesame oil

[@TravelBabble93]

I have to take so many notes now that we will be going to Japan soon! Last time I went to Ueno I missed out on so much. Glad to have you show us so any details! Glad you had a good time. I love how you can handle spicy food

Seeing Ueno Park feels like yesterday that I was there, although it's already been five years since. Time flies. Glad to see you enjoyed the Beijing duck meal too! Cheers, Rion. :)

[@micheleoakley296]

I’ll be staying in Ueno in November. I might just try that Chinese restaurant you ate in today. Looks good!

[@dennistani1986]

Rion, one quick comment. Rainy season starts in Okinawa around May 6-8. This year it started late, May 18th. Rainy season lasts around 5 weeks or so. Everyone, please don't forget Okinawa on your next Japan trip!

[@LadyPureblood]

“The last time when I was here this panda shop wasn’t open. I think maybe because I was here during the ...pandamic” nice pun by Rion 👍🏻

[@Erubel00]

This month I plan to go too 😄

[@dennistani1986]

Rion, thanks for another awesome walking tour!! We just had a tropical storm Mawar that came through Okinawa with 55 MPH winds. Everything is OK. Take care everyone!

[@mojojowan]

You take care, too! Stay safe 🙏

[@livlizcei]

the black pudding in the Chinese restaurant is called Xian1 Cao3 aka. Grass Jelly, which is an herbal jelly that helps to "cool" the body down!

Rion，try the preserved egg with red ginger。

I love visiting zoos but every time I see the Ueno Zoo, I find it depressing. The enclosures for the animals looks really small compared to other zoos 😢

Rhion, we will be there on October n staying in Ueno, show mw places that we can visit pls

[@Lady_Aanya]

Think i missed it, what's the name of the Chinese restaurant?

[@shinOIchan]

I believe that the elephant's name is "Su-Ri-Ya" or "The Sun", as in our solar system, in Thai, hence he is an elephant from Thailand.

Really? You’ve ate shark fin soup again? Everyone told you last time, STOP eating shark fin soup. Do you have no respect for endangered animals and the cruelty of which they are left to drown when only hunted for their fins?
