2025 Iwaki Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in July)

🚩 Environmental Aquarium Aquamarine Fukushima 𓇼 An aquarium located on the coast of Onahama, Iwaki City, Fukushima Prefecture🐟 𓇼 It is said to be the only aquarium in the world that exhibits two types of coelacanth specimens! 𓇼 There are also exhibits like a botanical garden and an artificial beach called "Janome Beach", so it's a place where you can learn about various creatures, not just those in the sea🦆🐛🦎 ＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿ ✍️ Landlady's guide: The aquarium is so large that you can enjoy it all day long! Personally, I like the corner where you can eat sushi while watching the fish in the aquarium 🍣 (It was the first time I've seen a sushi restaurant in an aquarium) There were no entertainment events like dolphin shows, but it was an aquarium with a strong educational element that is unique to the concept of an environmental museum 𓆛𓆜𓆝𓆞𓆟＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿ 📍 Environmental Aquarium Aquamarine Fukushima🏠: 50 Tatsumi-cho, Onahama, Iwaki City, Fukushima Prefecture 971-8101⏱: 9:00-17:30 (until 17:00 in winter)💰: 1,850 yen for adults, 900 yen for elementary to high school students＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿ #Aquamarine Fukushima #Aquarium #Museum #Aquarium Date #Fukushima #Iwaki City #Aquarium #Trip Domestic Travel

When I was traveling to Iwaki Yumoto Onsen♨️, I was looking for a place to have dinner and found "Kaikou" where I could eat seafood, so I went there~🐟 ~~~~~~~~~~~~ 🐟 Menu I ordered~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 🥢Specially selected grilled seafood set meal 3,300 yen (This set meal is the most popular Kaikou sashimi set meal with grilled fish) ~~~~~ 🥢Sashimi~~~~~ The amount per serving is abnormal, in a good way😂 There are 11 types (20 slices + squid somen), and even though I'm a big eater, I'm quite full and I might not be able to finish it all? I was worried...!!! Not only was it delicious, but it had no fishy smell at all and was very delicious🤤It was a restaurant that I would definitely recommend to sashimi lovers!!! The sashimi we had this time was - Bonito - Shellfish - Shrimp (2 types) - Octopus - Marinated mackerel - Surf clams - Scallops - Salmon - Long tuna - Squid It seems that the type of grilled fish in the set meal also changes depending on the day, but on this day we could choose between saury or bonito!!! We went to eat as a group of two, so we each ordered one🥢 The saury was of course delicious, but the salt-grilled bonito was fluffy and just the right amount of salty, and it was more delicious than I expected, which surprised me~!!! It was a popular restaurant and most people had reservations, so I recommend making a reservation in advance when you go🙆♀️ ---- 📍 Access 👣2 minutes walk from Yumoto Station 🐟Price Specially selected grilled seafood set meal 3,300 yen *If you order the sashimi set meal without the grilled fish, you can eat it for 2,300 yen🥢 🕰️Business hours 12:00 - 14:00, 17:00 - 22:00 L.O. 21:30 *Irregular holidays ---- #Japanese cuisine 2024 #seafood #fish cuisine seafood #sashimi #sashimi set meal #seafood cuisine #Fukushima gourmet #Iwaki

It's really easy to find, just a 3-minute walk from Iwaki Station. The station is close and there are many convenience stores and restaurants in the area. It's in the center of town, but it was very quiet. There is a cafe on the first floor that sells drinks and bread. Other than that, the room wasn't much different from a normal guesthouse. The shared spaces, such as the shower room, were neat and not crowded at all, which was helpful. It was a guesthouse with a modern, youthful atmosphere. #Iwaki #Fukushima #GuesthouseFARO

This is an introduction to Aquamarine Fukushima in Iwaki City, Fukushima Prefecture. It is an environmental aquarium with a theme of the tidal current. In the large tidal current tank, fish with shiny scales such as bonito, yellowfin tuna, and sardines swim quickly, which is very impressive. There are also exhibits with the theme of "life and death" of living things, where you can learn about the chain of life and the preciousness of dead creatures that become food for other creatures. 〜〜〜Address〜〜〜 50 Tatsumi-cho, Onahama, Iwaki City, Fukushima Prefecture #Aquarium #Photogenic spot #Fukushima Prefecture
