On July 7th, we will be holding a "Enjoy a flower and tree tour around Shinobazu Pond while using a lotus leaf umbrella!"

This time of year, Shinobazu Pond is covered in magnificent lotus leaves. Using these large lotus leaves as umbrellas, we'll walk around Shinobazu Pond within Ueno Zoo, observing the plants along the paths with the zoo staff. Let's enjoy this early summer plant tour.
