The garden is totally steamed up by the natural hot spring.

Let's go see the tropical plants and the crocodiles.
This is called the Miracle Fruit.
Have a piece and chew a little bit on your tongue then bite a lemon. You'll be amaized that the lemon taste like a sweet orenge.
This is Cacao. Chocolate and Cocoa is made from this fruit. It's the Star Fruit, a typical toropical fruit. Have you seen this fruit at a frout shop?
It's a Guava!
How beautiful it is! This is the flower of one of orchid families.


I thought I came to Haven.
I was surrounded by the lotus flowers.
It says, "The Charisia Insignia is from South America. When it looses its leaves, the tree looks like a drunken man with a big beer belly staggering, so nick named as "Drunken mans's tree"

The trunk and branches are stretch out so hight. Is he drunk a lot?
The Western Red Panda You can find the Western Red Pandas only in this zoo in Japan. Take a look at his heel. It looks like human's heel. That helps the panda stand up on his back feets just like we do.
The Caribbean Flamingos, the Chilean Flamingos, and the Black Headed Ibises are here together.
The Aldabra Giant Tortoise.
The Amazon Manatee.
When I tried to take a photo, he came closer to me.
After a long bathing in the hot spring, the croc comes out of the water. He opens his mouth to cool him down.
The Saltwater Crocodile
People say, "He looks like a crocodile."
That's funny to be told like that.
Yes, I am. Do you have any problem about that?
The spectacled Caiman

This pipe delivers the hot water to heat up all the facility.

After the tour, why don't you have some fruit? Let's take a break!
