Kyoro kyoro (きょろきょろ)

Have you ever gazed your surroundings with no cease, while turning to the right and the left repeatedly?

I will take such an action if I go to a new place.

You can refer to the action such as looking at surroundings curiously by using the Japanese onomatopoeia, "kyoro kyoro" (きょろきょろ).

While it can be used as an adverb, like "kyorokyoro to mawari wo miru" (きょろきょろを周りを見る), it can also be used as an noun, like "kyoro kyoro suru" (きょろきょろする).

Also, there is the similar onomatopoeia, "gyoro gyoro."

Gyoro gyoro represents that you look around keenly with your big eyeballs.
