    I had a wonderful time at the Nagoya Aquarium! The environment is very clean, spacious, and well-organized, making it a pleasant place to explore. There are so many kinds of marine animals — from penguins and sea turtles to whales and dolphins — and each area is full of interesting information. I really enjoyed learning about ocean life while walking through the exhibits.The highlight of my visit was definitely the dolphin show! The performance was lively and full of energy — the dolphins were amazing, and the trainers were so professional. It was both entertaining and touching to watch how well they worked together.Overall, it’s a great place for families, couples, or anyone who loves the ocean. I highly recommend visiting if you come to Nagoya! 🐬🌊✨

    Transportation‼️ If you're staying in Nagoya, you can take a direct bus from platform 4F-24 of the Meitetsu Bus Center. The best times are 9:00 AM and 9:15 AM, which depart on time🚍. Alternatively, you can take the subway🚇 Higashiyama Line to Fujioka and then transfer to the subway to Expo 'n' Roll Memorial Park. The five Ghibli parks are quite spread out. We recommend referring to our itinerary⬇️ First stop📍 Youth Hill ➡️ Take the free shuttle bus within the park to the furthest area, Totoro Forest. Second stop📍 Totoro Forest ➡️ Take the free cable car to the top of the mountain to see the giant Totoro. Children can go inside for photos. ➡️ Take the paid Catbus down the mountain. Third stop📍 Ghost Village Fourth stop📍 Witch Valley ‼️ Witch Valley is the largest outdoor area. Howl's Moving Castle is located here, and there are two paid rides. You can also have lunch here. Fifth stop📍 The Great Warehouse ‼️ Upon entering the large warehouse, you can first watch a free movie (all unreleased content). We watched a segment from My Neighbor Totoro, and the theme song instantly transported us back to our childhood! ‼ If the [Special Project Exhibition Hall] isn't crowded, quickly queue to enter. Photography and videography are prohibited inside, but the exhibition is incredibly engaging, featuring many iconic scenes. ‼ Finally, take photos in various corners of the large warehouse. Of course, many areas within the park prohibit photography and videography; just enjoy the immersive experience! 💕 ‼ The exit from the large warehouse leads directly to the surrounding shops for a shopping spree! 🛍

    The zoo: This is a truly amazing zoo! The 23 RMB ticket price is enough to see many animals rarely seen in China, such as silverback gorillas, desert cats, hawks, bison, and manuls. The animal welfare is also quite good. While some of the exhibits are a bit small, most have indoor and outdoor areas, plus cages, and the zoo is well-stocked. The only downside is that many of the exhibits (like the manul) are still in traditional cages, making them difficult to see through. Some of the glass exhibits were a bit dirty, but for 23 RMB, what's the point of a bike? Just a reminder: be aware of closing times; they collect the animals early and never delay them (I missed out on shopping and wanted to spend some money to help feed the animals). Overall, the zoo exceeded my expectations, and I completely understand the online claims about it being a hidden gem! A must-do when visiting Nagoya, especially with children! And be sure to allow plenty of time. Botanical Garden: Didn't have enough time to go (doge) Amusement Park: Most of the rides are educational and suitable for children. Prices vary by a few hundred yen. On weekdays, there's a 600 yen offer for three rides, which is highly recommended. There's also a roller coaster called Slope Shooter (P2, yes, it's a roller coaster), which has been operating since 1961. It's a very unique ride and highly recommended!

    The advantage of Nagoya is that there are few people everywhere. Various museums are optimistic about the opening date in advance to avoid being empty. As long as you don't need to make an appointment here on the opening day, you can buy tickets on the spot, and the fare is not expensive. It is very large inside, divided into textile areas and car areas. Originally went to the car, but I didn't expect the textile area to be so beautiful. There are many interactive facilities, in addition to the machine demonstration, there are live demonstrations. The car area has a complete set of assembly lines, and you can clearly see how a car is installed. Even if he has a variety of classic models of Toyota since its inception, the big friends and children who like the car can't walk here. It takes two or three hours to walk around. If you listen carefully to the explanation and watch the demonstration, it is expected to take a day. Sometimes there will be free explanations. Looking at the situation of the staff, some staff are very good. You can explain in detail to tourists from different countries in Chinese, English and Japanese. Some staff are very indifferent. I always feel that Japan's service industry has changed a lot from before. Every staff member I met before has a very good attitude. Now I have a relatively high chance of encountering indifferent staff.

    Mie Kuwana Nagashima Spa Land is the largest amusement park in the Tokai region, with about 60 kinds of amusement projects, especially the roller coaster, which is the main attraction of the park. It is a complex of amusement park + water park. The water park is open in summer. Nagashima Spa Land ranks 17th in the world's theme parks, ahead of Hollywood's USJ and France's Disney. It is the second largest amusement park in Japan, second only to Tokyo Disneyland. It has the longest roller coaster in the world and is a paradise for roller coaster enthusiasts. Address: 333 Urayasu, Nagashima-cho, Kuwana City, Mie Prefecture. Self-driving is recommended. How to get there by public transportation: It is relatively close from Nagoya. It takes about 50 minutes to take a bus from Meitetsu Department Store. The end point is Nagashima Land and Outlet, which is a good place for both sightseeing and shopping.

    Legoland in Nagoya is famous, but its affiliated Sea Life Nagoya, also known as Nagoya Sea World, is not promoted enough. Many tourists and even local drivers mistakenly think it is the Nagoya Port Aquarium, but it is actually two different places. Sea Life Nagoya is opposite the main entrance of Legoland. There is a small door next to the fountain. There is a package ticket that can enter Sea World once and the park twice. The scale is actually very small, with a few aquariums and an aquarium tunnel. It is much worse than our Chimelong Ocean World and Hong Kong Ocean Park, but you can take a look with your children.
