Asukadeli Animal Park

On the map of Asu, Kadli Animal Park looks like a secret corner hidden in the forest. Looking in from the entrance, the park is surrounded by greenery, free from the noise of amusement parks, only the rhythm of nature and the breathing of animals. Here, it's a "half-day stroll," a relaxing journey for the soul. Upon entering the park, I was first greeted by the "Bear Kingdom." They were huge and robust, yet surprisingly gentle. The feeding area is one of the highlights—the bears will sit up, raise their heads, and make a "please" gesture with their front paws, as if they're being affectionate. When you throw food over the fence, some catch it with their paws, while others open their mouths waiting for you to throw it in; their clumsy cuteness makes you laugh out loud. Don't miss the photo opportunity in the cub area, but be aware of the time, as the activity is limited to a few sessions. After leaving the bear area, walking along the central path, I encountered a group of alpacas leisurely strolling on the grass. Their pace was slow, like they were on vacation, occasionally glancing up at you before continuing to graze, as if enjoying the afternoon sun. The animals here seem completely at ease, so close you can almost hear them breathing. The baby rabbits in their burrows look like a bunch of moving cotton candy; guinea pigs burrow and dart among the wood shavings, occasionally stopping to nibble on carrots, making soft chewing sounds. Middle of the park, there's a mini-theater with characters like Ah Ben and Ah Jian, and miniature pig races. The piglets, each with a number on their back, run along a winding track, like a scene from a fairy tale. These activities are adorable and full of childlike fun, so remember to check the show times. The latter half is a small forest, dappled with sunlight. Walking slowly along the path, I heard birdsong coming from the treetops, like stepping into someone's secret backyard. There's no artificial grandeur here, just a natural, perfectly balanced beauty. Before the exit, I encountered penguins and parrots. The penguins flitted between the small houses, as if living in a fairy tale village; the parrots spread their colorful wings on wooden frames, like forest sprites. By the time I left Cadley Animal Park, the sky had cleared. The wind was gentle that day, and so was my heart. Kadri is a place that lets you "breathe," and it was my favorite part of my trip in Aso. #ILoveTravel #BigJLovesTravel #ilovetravel #traveller #enjoymylife #foodies #jasontai1106 #jason_tai1106 #Kumamoto #AsoMount #KadriAnimalPark #Japan #IndependentTravel
