[ “Yokohama Hakkeijima Sea Paradise” (1) @ Yokohama, Kanagawa ]

“Yokohama Hakkeijima Sea Paradise” is a famous amusement park.
There are an aquarium, an attractive shopping mall hotel marina in Hakkeijima.

I will introduce the attractiveness of “Yokohama Hakkeijima Sea Paradise” in 2 times.

A zone of the aquariums is most especially popular called “Aqua Resorts”. It collectes the creatures of the sea.

There are “Aqua museum”, “Dolphin fantasy”, “Fureai (contact) lagoon” and “Umi (sea) farm” in this zone.
I easily explain each.

1) “Aqua museum”:
It is an aquarium largest in Japan. There are 500 kinds and 100,000 of creatures live. You can see a walrus, a sea-otter, a seal, a bear and a pelican other than a fish. And also dolphin shows are done at here.

2) “Dolphin fantasy”:
There is the “Dolphin water tank” which reproduced the state that is nearer to the sea of nature. You can watch the dolphin and fish swim in a group from the bottom. You can experience the sense that you are walking in the sea. After go through the “Dolphin water tank”, there is the featured “Panda dolphin” which is in a column water tank.
It is the dolphins with a little number of the breeding. The dolphins just came in July 10. It is a monochrome dolphin of 1.5m in length (world’s smallest). Two of them are bred in here “Hakkeijima Sea Paradise”.

Next time, I will introduce the other 2 facilities.
Please look forward!
