I live near Sea World; therefore, I wasn't expecting much. However, they had great shows, and a lot of exhibits. I was pleasantly surprised. I love the fact that it's by the sea. It made it seem...

What a fun trip! There was so much to see in this aquarium and the walrus show was so entertaining. If you love aquariums this is one of the better ones I’ve been too in Japan. It’s right by the water and the view is amazing. They have pamphlets available on different languages such as English, Korean and Chinese as well. A lot of photo opportunities to be had and places to sit down and enjoy viewing the tanks. There is a parking fee, but not very expensive. There were 2 prices listed, but we only paid ¥420. A lot of souvenirs available in both buildings!

Very fun! It was nice to go on a weekday when there were fewer people. Many fish to see, with information next to the tanks. I liked the big aquarium! There are shows for the mammals too. Cute cafe and gift shop. Friendly staff. A little expensive for its size, but very fun and cool!
