Marinepia Nihonkai in Niigata City is one of the largest aquariums on the Sea of ​​Japan coast.

Marinepia Nihonkai in Niigata City is one of the largest aquariums on the Sea of ​​Japan side. You can encounter a variety of creatures such as dolphins, seals, and penguins, as well as exhibits that recreate the natural flow of the river into the sea. 🐧 The dolphin show in particular is a powerful and intelligent performance that draws both adults and children in. Just walking around the park surrounded by trees is calming, and it feels like walking through a seaside forest. 🌿 I visited on a solo trip, but spending time facing the creatures in the quiet exhibition space was a healing experience that helped me forget about my daily life. It's also perfect for a relaxing time with your partner. There is an admission fee, but the time you spend there is worth it. Please visit on a trip to experience the sea and nature of Niigata.
