📸 Journal & Photos

On a rainy day in Ise, I hopped over to Toba Aquarium—and wow, it’s huge! 🐠

The place is divided into 12 themed zones, including an outdoor area, so there’s plenty to explore at your own pace.

I got to see so many species I’d never seen before, like the gentle dugong and the alien-looking giant isopod. It’s also full of energetic kids enjoying the exhibits, which made the atmosphere lively and fun.

Japanese aquariums never disappoint—always well-designed, full of surprises, and just so much fun to visit. 🐬✨
