The five girls from Joshiraku stand in front of the naked mole-rat exhibit at Ueno Zoo during their comedic outing.
This moment appears during the girls’ outing in Joshiraku episode 9, when the five friends wander around Ueno Zoo chatting casually and throwing out jokes in the series’ usual rapid-fire comedic style. At the naked mole-rat exhibit, their attention is caught by the animal’s strange appearance and oddly awkward atmosphere, creating a scene filled with playful curiosity and slightly absurd humor. The appeal of the shot is not major plot development, but the characters’ natural reactions to something unusual: some watch seriously, while others cannot resist making snarky comments, making the whole Ueno excursion feel like a relaxed and chaotic day trip among friends. In real life, this scene corresponds to the naked mole-rat exhibit inside Ueno Zoo in Tokyo. The anime captures the overall composition well, especially the feeling of the viewing window and explanatory signage, so visitors familiar with the zoo can recognize it quickly. While the series does not reproduce every sign or line of text exactly, the glass display area, wall panels, and indoor viewing layout are close enough to make this a highly recognizable pilgrimage spot. On site, the wording and design of the signs may have changed over time, so they may not perfectly match the version seen when the anime aired. Reflections on the glass, indoor lighting, crowd levels, and the exhibit environment also make real photography messier than the cleaner anime frame. Overall, the scene focuses on faithfully recreating the atmosphere of the exhibit rather than copying every detail literally, and fans can match the shot quite easily by focusing on the relationship between the viewing window and the information boards.

Do I need a separate ticket to see the naked mole-rat exhibit at Ueno Zoo?: No, it is included with regular Ueno Zoo admission. Check the official Tokyo Zoological Park website before visiting, as opening hours and animal house access can change by season or maintenance.
Can I take photos of the Joshiraku scene spot inside the exhibit area?: Personal photography is generally allowed, but flash, tripods, and blocking viewing space should be avoided. Glass reflections are strong, so visiting earlier in the day helps if you want a cleaner comparison shot.
Is the naked mole-rat area easy to find for anime pilgrimage visitors?: Yes, if you enter Ueno Zoo and follow the indoor small-animal or educational exhibit areas, the signage makes it manageable to locate. Staff maps and current exhibit guides at the entrance are the best way to confirm the latest route.
