The melon ice cream and もちもち are both delicious! Especially the もちもち—super soft and dense, crispy outside and soft inside. You definitely have to buy some and try it.

At the start of October, we visited the zoo as a family for the first time, and stopped at the souvenir shop near the west gate on our way out. It was somewhat busy, but one middle-aged male staff member kept a close watch on my daughter, following whenever she moved, as though he was monitoring something. His behavior and the look in his eyes were extremely creepy and unpleasant. We bought nothing here and shopped at another souvenir store. If you're looking at souvenirs here with your children, I think you should keep an eye on them because it's dangerous. I can't forget that look in his eyes.
