Machida Risu-en has a big enclosure with lots of grey squirrels who are not at all shy. There are also a few red squirrels, big and small tortoises, rabbits, groundhogs, guinea pigs, parrots, snakes, salamanders, and turtles. If you have kids or are an animal lover yourself, you can easily spend an hour or two feeding the squirrels and watching them play.
