The last two giant pandas in Japan are set to return to their homeland. The twin giant pandas, Xiao Xiao (male) and Lei Lei (female), from Ueno Zoo in Tokyo, will return to China in late January 2026.
This pair of giant pandas, born in Ueno in 2021, are the last two giant pandas remaining in Japan. After their return, Japan will be without giant pandas for the first time in over 50 years. The background reasons include the expiration of the lease agreement and the tense Sino-Japanese relations (such as remarks made by Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi regarding Taiwan that sparked dissatisfaction in China, leading to the suspension of lease renewal negotiations). The Japanese public adores this pair of "internet celebrity" pandas, and their return will impact Ueno Zoo and the surrounding economy (which contributes hundreds of billions of yen annually). #ไธญๆฅๅ
