Location: Hakkeijima Kanazawa-ku Yokohama-city, KanagawaHow to get there: From Yokohama Station, take Keihin Kyuko Line to Kanazawa Hakkeijima Station. From Kanazawa Hakkeijima Station, take Seaside Line to Hakkeijima.
When we reached the Sea Paradise, it was a gloomy day. However, the creatures and shows that we watched was amazing. Maybe it is hard for us to watch the sea creature back in our country. We came just in time to watch the show, a jaw dropdown show.
As usual, there was shows like sealion, walrus, dolphin, penguin etc. There are show with "beluga whale" or known as white whale. Would say this was the first encounter with the whale of this type.
I would say that the performer really gave a astounding performance. They really know how to train the sea animals and attract the audience attention. So, who say sea creature is dangerous? How lovely they are with human being whenever they are being well taken care of?
After the show, we proceed to the aquarium. As it was around the Christmas period, there is a aqua show. What is aqua show? In the spirit of Christmas, the sardines in the aquarium could form a Christmas Tree by the sound emitting in the aquarium, or was it because of the lighting in the aquarium. Whatever it is, we are really amazed by the creator of this idea where able to form the Christmas Tree from school of fishes. What a great invention it is.
Another attraction for me is the polar bear. This creature is mainly found in Artic circle. Here, in Japan we are able to see the bear, without need to go through the freezing cold weather in Artic.
After that, we proceed to see the sea creature which is displayed in the aquarium. Another attraction for us. We were able to see lot of sizes of the jelly fish. From as small as you need to use microscope to see right to the size of a book. Besides that, there were some of jelly fish which is transparent, and it is attractive whenever there is colorful light shining on it.
Another sea creature that attract us is the little cute 'eel'. Not sure what it is called, but it is little tiny creature where the head stuck out from the base of the aquarium. Maybe the best comparison that I can say is the creature as tiny as half of our normal ball pen that we using everyday.
There are many other attraction park here that one can visit. For us, we didn't go for every park here.Hakkeijima Sea Paradise, spread over an island of 24 hectares, comprises of a 16.3 hectares ‘Park Zone’ in Yokohama City and a 7.7 hectare ‘Leisure Zone’. Area-wise, it is 18 times larger than the Tokyo Dome, and is totally a traffic free zone. Yokohama Hakkeijima Sea Paradise in Japan allows you to be in the lap of nature throughout the day and in the evening.
