It's easy to exchange tickets, there are not many people, and you can touch a lot of marine life. The children had a great time. The parking lot charges 800 yen.

Buying tickets here is not particularly cheap, but it is very convenient and you can earn credit card rewards, and the tickets will also come with a small bag of feed for the bears.

The place is small but very exquisite. All the performances are very attentive. The cash coupons are easy to use and there are no special restrictions. The food is also delicious. Highly recommended.

The bear is very cute. The scenery along the cable car ride is also very charming. If you buy a ticket, you will receive a pack of bear feed. It is very interesting and worth buying.

Originally I came here just to see the penguins walking, as it is here all year round, but I didn't expect the biggest surprise to be the sardine show, which really had a wow feeling. The other performances are mid-range, but the time is genuinely well arranged, one performance after another, which is very convenient for tourists.

It is conveniently located from the airport. You can get there by taking a reserved bus. The buffet restaurant for dinner is delicious and there is a large open-air bathing area.
