Cool off in the summer at the aquarium 🐬 An aquarium you'll want to visit again and again!

We'll share three recommended aquariums that are perfect for relaxing during the hot summer months, where you can encounter fantastical displays and unique creatures that will help you forget the heat. You'll be sure to be soothed by the cool atmosphere and adorable creatures. 🐠🐬🦦✨ [Enoshima Aquarium] 🐠 2-19-1 Katase Kaigan, Fujisawa City, Kanagawa Prefecture 251-0035 🚶 3-minute walk from Katase-Enoshima Station on the Odakyu Enoshima Line, 10-minute walk from Enoshima Station on the Enoshima Electric Railway, 10-minute walk from Shonan-Enoshima Station on the Shonan Monorail 🕘 9:00 AM - 6:00 PM 🎫 Adults ¥2,800 / High School Students ¥1,800 / Elementary and Middle School Students ¥1,300 / Preschoolers (3 years and older) ¥900 👆 The "Jellyfish Fantasy Hall," which made Enoshima Aquarium famous, was apparently the result of years of experience in breeding research and exhibit techniques. Approximately 14 types of jellyfish, including some rare ones, were on display in a half-dome-style space designed to resemble the inside of a jellyfish's body. The jellyfish show "Jellyfish in Space," which uses 3D projection mapping and is held several times a day, is a must-see, but I was also particularly interested in the exhibit on the manned submersible research vessel "Shinkai 2000." In addition to the actual jellyfish on display, there was also an easy-to-understand comparison chart of submersibles from around the world and a model of the ship, which was very educational. In the Humboldt penguin corner, a penguin family tree and the profile of each bird were displayed on monitors, making the exhibit even more enjoyable and helping to foster an attachment to the penguins. [Hakkeijima Sea Paradise] 🐠 Address: Hakkeijima, Kanazawa Ward, Yokohama City, Kanagawa Prefecture, 236-0006 🚶 Approximately 15 minutes walk from Hakkeijima Station on the Yokohama Seaside Line 🕘 10:00 AM - 8:00 PM 🎫 Aqua Resorts Pass: Adults & High School Students ¥3,500 / Seniors (65 and over) ¥3,000 / Elementary & Middle School Students ¥2,200 / Preschoolers (4 and over) ¥1,200 *+¥300 on certain days (July 19th (Sat), 20th (Sun), 26th (Sat), August 2nd (Sat), 9th (Sat), 10th (Sun), 16th (Sat), 23rd (Sat), September 13th (Sat), and 14th (Sun).) Various ticket types are also available, including one-day passes and night passes. 👆 One of the most impressive attractions at Yokohama Hakkeijima Sea Paradise was the "Super Sardine Illusion," in which approximately 50,000 sardines dance in sync with sound and light. It's held several times a day, meaning it can be enjoyed regardless of the weather. With a dolphin show, red pandas, otters, prairie docks, and more, it's sure to be enjoyed by people of all ages. It's also easily accessible, just 30 minutes from Yokohama Station. Beyond beluga whales, there are also land creatures and an amusement park, making it a truly exciting spot! [Toba Aquarium] 🐠 3-3-6 Toba, Toba City, Mie Prefecture 517-8517 🚶Approximately a 10-minute walk from Toba Station 🚃Iseshi Station → Toba Station (approximately 15 minutes) - JR Sangu Line Mie 11: ¥240 - Kintetsu (Regular): ¥390 - Kintetsu Urban Liner: ¥910 🕘9:30-17:00 🎫Adults ¥2,800 / Elementary and Junior High School Students ¥1,600 / Toddlers (3 years and older) ¥800 👆 Toba Aquarium is an extremely rare aquarium in Japan where you can encounter sea otters, dugongs, and panda dolphins. The sea otters Mei-chan and Kira-chan and the dugong Serena-chan are especially popular. Another great thing about the aquarium is that there's no set route, so you can explore at your own pace. ◎ There was so much to see, I almost lost track of time.✨ #domestictravel #aquarium #sightseeing #indoor
