Birdwatching is something anyone can easily enjoy, even without specialized knowledge or equipment. In this event, we will introduce ways to enjoy birdwatching within Tama Zoo, and our staff members who have visited various birdwatching spots throughout Japan will share the charm of birdwatching while traveling.
