[Mie] Toba Aquarium, the only place in Japan where you can see sea otters🦦🦦

#DomesticTravelStrategy Toba Aquarium in Toba City, Mie Prefecture is the only place in Japan where you can see sea otters✨️ Currently, the adorable sea otters Mei-chan and Kira-chan are living here happily☺️ The sea otters are very popular for their adorable behavior and curious nature! They spin around through the glass and play with toys, they are so cute🥳❤️ Sea otters are designated as an endangered species, and it is unlikely that they will be imported in the future, and there is no hope of breeding them domestically, so if the two at Toba Aquarium die, we will no longer be able to see sea otters in Japan🦦😢 ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⚠️Points to note━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━A time limit has been introduced for viewing sea otters from March 17, 2025. Currently, the viewing time for the aquarium in the "Polar Sea" area where sea otters are exhibited is limited to "1 minute" to reduce congestion😳 What, 1 minute!? You might be surprised at first, but the line moves smoothly, so you can actually enjoy it🫶You can watch from a distance while you're waiting in line! If you really want to see more, just line up again! When I lined up, it took less than 30 minutes, but after I finished looking, there was a long line😳It is expected to be crowded during long holidays such as Golden Week, and you may have to wait for more than an hour...! It is recommended to have plenty of time✨️It seems that viewing in the evening is recommended🦦 ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━🉐Discount information━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━If you want to visit other places in the Ise-Shima area, you can get a passport called "Mawaryanse"! There are also many other great deals, such as the Toba Marumie Passport for those who want to visit Mikimoto Pearl Island and Toba Bay, and the Toba Aquarium, so check them out🥰 Toba Aquarium is one of Japan's leading aquariums, home to not only sea otters, but also about 1,200 other species of creatures🐠🐧It's great for aquarium lovers, and even just stopping by while sightseeing is a lot of fun💓━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━Spot Information━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━📍Toba Aquarium 🗺Address: 3-3-6 Toba, Toba City, Mie Prefecture🚗Access: 10 minutes on foot from Kintetsu/JR Toba Station⏰Opening hours: 9:00-17:00 (last entry 16:00) *May vary depending on the season💳Payment methods: Cash, credit cards, various electronic money💵Budget: 2,800 yen for adults, 1,600 yen for elementary and junior high school students, 800 yen for ages 3 and over (as of April 2025) #Toba Aquarium #Sea Otter
