[2025 Numazu Attraction] Travel Guide for Izu Mito Sea Paradise (Updated Jul)

Izu-Mito Sea Paradise in Numazu, Shizuoka Prefecture 🐬 This is the first aquarium in the world to keep dolphins, and the first in Japan to keep sea otters and walruses 🦦 At the aquarium, which is directly connected to the sea, you can interact with a variety of creatures. The impressive dolphin show is also recommended❗️ #Seasideview #Aquarium #SupportTourism

This aquarium is called Izu-Mito Sea Paradise. I thought it would be smaller, but I enjoyed it very much. The facility is not new, but you can feed the animals directly and see them up close. When I went, there was a sea lion show and the photo shows a sea lion. I've never seen a sea lion show anywhere else, so it's worth seeing. There seems to be a dolphin show in another venue. You can see the dolphins swimming leisurely in a private bay even when there is no show. The location is great because the sea is right next to it. Unfortunately, it was raining heavily when I went, so I couldn't take a picture of the sea, but if you walk around while watching the dolphins, you can see the sandy beach. The exhibits included a fish called the "akame", which is known as one of the three most monstrous fish in Japan. This can only be seen in a few aquariums across the country. I went with my wife, but I think it would be even more fun if you have small children. There was also a play area just for children. The souvenir section was very large, but it seemed like there were a lot of items aimed at children. Highly recommended regardless of the weather! #IzuSeaParadise #0YenTripAutumn

#thingstodo Relatively small Aquarium located at a quaint location. Was a bit held back at the entrance fees at the beginning, but the experience at the aquarium really made the money worth it. The walrus, seals and dolphin shows were really good and I highly recommend them to watch them. Really love how bonded the keepers and animals are. Seeing their interactions really made my day.
