那須どうぶつ王国-Nasu Animal Kingdom Zoo(October 8, 2020-No.32)

Nasu Animal Kingdom那須動物王国) is a theme park-style zoo located at 1042-1 Oshima, Nasu-machi, Nasu-gun, Tochigi Prefecture.

 The zoo became a hot topic when the media reported that a rare baby sand cat was born. On this day, many people gathered in the space where the children's sand cats were exhibited and took pictures and videos. As a matter of course, everyone wore surgical masks and was silent. It makes me wonder if such a cute little kitten can survive in the harsh environment of the deserts of Africa and the Middle East.

This time, we were able to travel at a fairly discounted price using the Go-to-Travel campaign run by the Japanese government. In addition to the 35% discount on travel costs, 15% of travel costs can be purchased as coupons for goods and services. It is a policy implemented by the government to overcome the slump in travel and tourism due to the new corona virus epidemic, and it seems that tourism-related companies and people who like travel have greatly benefited. However, it may lead to the spread of the new coronavirus infection, and each person is required to act more carefully to prevent the infection.

Sesshoseki famous for Matsuo Basho's haiku(a bonus). 殺生石. The smell of sulfur was strong there. I am deeply moved when I think that the famous poet Matsuo Basho walked around here.
