Hands-on experience⭐︎You can feed the seals directly!

This aquarium is called Izu-Mito Sea Paradise. I thought it would be smaller, but I enjoyed it very much. The facility is not new, but you can feed the animals directly and see them up close. When I went, there was a sea lion show and the photo shows a sea lion. I've never seen a sea lion show anywhere else, so it's worth seeing. There seems to be a dolphin show in another venue. You can see the dolphins swimming leisurely in a private bay even when there is no show. The location is great because the sea is right next to it. Unfortunately, it was raining heavily when I went, so I couldn't take a picture of the sea, but if you walk around while watching the dolphins, you can see the sandy beach. The exhibits included a fish called the "akame", which is known as one of the three most monstrous fish in Japan. This can only be seen in a few aquariums across the country. I went with my wife, but I think it would be even more fun if you have small children. There was also a play area just for children. The souvenir section was very large, but it seemed like there were a lot of items aimed at children. Highly recommended regardless of the weather! #IzuSeaParadise #0YenTripAutumn
