Nagoya Aquarium

Uncategorized

Earlier today we went to the Nagoya Aquarium. We had breakfast at a restaurant near our friends Dan and Sayaka’s house. After breakfast we drove to the aquarium in their car. When we got to the aquarium there was a big line but it went pretty fast. When we went in we saw beluga whales and dolphins (seen above and below), they were really cute. The photo below shows Denise, Kiku, Raiden, and I watching the dolphins. At 12:30pm there was a dolphin show. The dolphins did really cool tricks like jumping up to balls and spinning around. The dolphin below is jumping so high! One of the dolphins was named Ai which means love in Japanese.The show was really really really cool. Every time a dolphin did a trick a trainer gave them a little fish. The Nagoya Aquarium has about 500 species of underwater animals. The Nagoya Aquarium opened in October 1992.This is a sea turtle we saw, I really like sea turtles. But I did not think the tank they were in was a big enough tank. It is sad to see that they are being held in captivity in such a small enclosure.This is Dan, Dad, Denise, Sayaka, Kiku, and I at the dolphin show. We got good seats and we drank tea, warm lemonade, and hot cocoa. We ate a lot of fries. The warm lemonade was really good.This is a Giant Pacific Octopus, I think it is in too small of a tank.These are 2 grouper fish in the tropical fish zone, they are really big.These are some penguins, the Nagoya Aquarium had Adelie, Chinstrap, Emperor, and Gentoo penguins.This is all of us outside the aquarium. After the aquarium we took a bus to Osaka, Japan, right now I am writing from our Airbnb in Osaka. We had a great time in Nagoya staying with our friends. Bye!
