This is a very fantastic aquarium. There many fishes and water animals. White Dolphin Beluga, Killer Whales, Turtles and many beautiful jellyfishes. You can go for walking, couples, families and friends.The aquarium was just like an amusement park. You can enjoy with anybody. Everything was so beautiful and you can enjoy the time a lot there. Stuffs were very nice and kind. Its really great to go there especially on rainy day. All Nagoya residences are proud of this aquarium for sure!! 名古屋港にある水族館です。たくさんのお魚や海の生物に出会うことができます。輝くイワシの群れや魚のトンネルなど、海の世界を体感できるように工夫を凝らして展示がしてあり、まるで水の中にいるように一日中楽しむことができます。名古屋の小中学生は、校外学習などで何度も言ったことがあり、みな大好きです。大人になってからも家族、友人、恋人と行く定番スポットです。いつ誰といっても楽しめる楽しい水族館です。かわいいバブルを出すシロイルカのベルーガもいます。ご家族で、お子様と、ご両親と、ぜひ一度来てみてください。

This historic footpath through the Kiso Valley connects the villages of Tsumago and Magome. The partially paved trail is approximately 8 kilometers in length and passes by several historic and natural wonders.

Toba Aquarium

Reviewed By B6814KJlaurab - Olympia, United States

Some of the animals here aren't shown anywhere else in Japan, like the dugong. There were many unusual animals, such as adorable little garden eels, and outside there was even a "petting" area with fish that clearly loved the attention!

Nabana no Sato

Reviewed By Xivens

It's my first time going to Japan with my family and it was a tour on that tour I get a chance to go to this place at first I thought it was just an ordinary garden but at night and the lights turn on its beautiful. The Place is good for people to take photos because it has many spots, not only garden with lights its also have many Koi fish and staff there let you feed them their food by buying them. At night you have the chance to see a light show so its good to go there in the evening and wait until night to see the show Overall I think it's worth it for taking photos and a whole new experience.

Shiraito Falls

Reviewed By Ronni68 - Canberra, Australia

The falls are absolutely stunning. Quiet and even when busy, there was plenty of space and opportunity for photos. The views were stunning all round. We were lucky to see Mt Fuji on the day we visited.

Jogasaki Coast

Reviewed By tauraakio - Ito, Japan

You can walk,up and down the pass, by the seashore, beautiful cliffs and wooded area. Also, suspension bridges,over the coast, observing Ohshima - in Japanese,means a big island - and a nice light-house that enables you to view mountain side of the area, including Mount Omuro.. Very nice and comforting to roam, looking at the ocean out there and listening to the birds.

Shirahama Beach

Reviewed By christinaf695 - Yokohama, Japan

We visited this beach off season in April, when it was around 21 degrees and too cold to swim in. Nevertheless, we had a nice walk along the beach and enjoyed a picnic there, watching the surfers and enjoying the quiet. The water is very clear and the scenery beautiful. There is also an impressive temple nearby (on the side of the torii gate) that you can visit. I didn't think that the beach was dirty - yes, there were a few bits of plastic waste in the sand, but it didn't strike me as 'a lot' of trash. Even if the beach is cleaned every day, sadly, some trash will be carried to the beach from the ocean every day due to our over-consumption and use of plastic... It's also very convenient that you can quickly reach the beach by bus from Izukyu-Shimoda station or Shimoda marina. Just opposite, there is a Family Mart and a few cafes and restaurants.

Mount Omuro

Nice ride by the rope-way, enjoy leisurely walking the rim at the top as you leave the rope-way - you can buy your picture as you climb it - you can see the 360 degrees wonderful view as you get off and be sure to pick a "Clear Day", you can observe the beautiful Mt.Fuji at the summit!! Visited several times with our family as well. They loved it.

You may experience the time with adrable birds in the park by watching, feeding and so forth. The park itself is quite clean and you may be excited to see the birds flying around you. "Birds Show", which I joined at the outside garden, is a lot of fun. Some birds will fly over you and behave according to the instructors' signs. What I enjoyed was penguins' walk. They were really adrable! This park should be worth visiting.
