Mie|A gathering of animal stars, the cutest Toba Aquarium in Japan

There are many interesting aquariums in Japan, such as Osaka Aquarium Kaiyukan and Churaumi in Okinawa. But when it comes to the most cute martial arts master that will make you melt, it has to be Toba Aquarium in Mie. This aquarium, which has been in operation since 1955, is the 26th aquarium in Japan. It was extremely small back then. It was not until 1990 that it received land from Kobelco Electric and gradually built up to its current size. Capybara and small-clawed otters can be observed up close. The most popular performances in recent years are Haise Mikaru and Kirara. Thirty years ago, there were hundreds of sea otters in Japan, but now there are only two left, and they are in Toba Aquarium. The feeding shows, which are held three times a day, are always packed. In addition, the walrus is also a popular star. It not only knows how to blow bubbles and kiss goodbye, but also patrols the venue to interact and touch the children. There is also a mermaid dugong, looking cute as it eats seaweed in front of the glass window. The aquarium has no restrictions on movement routes and time, and it also has a restaurant that sells udon and curry rice that children will also like. You can dine while looking at the sea, so you can have fun for a whole day. The number of visitors to Toba Aquarium has exceeded 50 million, making it the most profitable aquarium in Japan. 📍Address: 〒517-8517 3-6 Toba 3-chome, Toba City, Mie Prefecture 🚗Take Kintetsu from Osaka or Nagoya to Toba Station and walk for 12 minutes. #MarchGoodPlaces2025

Toba Aquarium 🪼 is quite far but worth a visit

Toba Aquarium

Actually, all aquariums are pretty much the same: there are fluorescent fish tanks, colorful poison frogs from South America, American flamingos, capybaras, and more. The aquarium is laid out in a long, linear format. After entering the building, you can freely walk right or left, unlike typical exhibits where there are separate paths for the "shunro" and "kiro" paths. The sea lion and walrus feedings and performances take place approximately every half hour to an hour. There are several deliberate missteps during the performances to keep children on their toes, and everyone can enjoy watching the performances a few times. There will be sighs of disappointment, but the last successful attempt will bring a roar of applause from the audience. The whole thing is well-coordinated, creating a lot of emotional value and making it quite entertaining. Kitchen Takama is a family-run restaurant. From the first floor, you'll see enticing food models beckoning you to order. Hidden behind the fried shrimp curry rice are three tamagoyaki and two small fried chicken balls (I haven't eaten meat in years, so I thought leaving them out would be disrespectful to the restaurant, but that's a mistake). The rice is generous and filling, and afterward, order the pudding and fresh cream ice cream—it's fantastic! PS: The staff was friendly, but it didn't seem to be air-conditioned, using a fan and water cooling system.
