Enoshima Aquarium

Another of Kanagawa’s attractions is the Enoshima Aquarium, certain to be a hit with anyone interested in marine biology. The Big Sagami Bay Tank recreates the ecology of nearby Sagami Bay, including a school of over 8,000 sardines that swim together in tight, spiraling formation. The Jellyfish Fantasy Hall houses one of the world’s best collections of these strangely beautiful creatures, and the Deep Sea Corner uses cutting edge habitat technology to present species that are very rarely seen. In the Dolphin Show Stadium, dolphins and seals team up in a popular display of acrobatic diving and leaping called Splash! With additional displays of penguins, sharks (including some you can pet!) and sea turtles, among others, everyone will find something of interest here. And after the aquarium, head to the nearby Shonan coast, an enormously popular scenic resort region, where you can enjoy the real ocean at its best.
