    The journey is a truly remarkable one, with world cultural heritage sites intertwined throughout. Many years from now, I might still recall these mountain streams, waterfalls, and creeks, the rain, dew, and gentle breezes, and my reverence for the gods!

    The aquarium, though small, was definitely worth a visit. The tickets were also inexpensive. The kids saw mermaids, sea otters, walruses, and other species they don't usually see, and even got to see penguins walking up close. We adults even touched an octopus, which was a lot of fun. We bought a lot of souvenirs, even though they were a bit pricey, because they were all so cute. We especially loved the gashapon toys we won! Note that the line for the sea otters is very long; we waited 40 minutes even on a weekday. Once you get in, the time to see them is too short, and there's no time to queue again. I recommend arriving early, just as it opens. We arrived after 11 am, which was a bit late. The entire visit, from entry to closing time, is still very fulfilling.

    it is definitely a must visit when you were in Nagoya. Especially if you are traveling with teens. The amusement park has more than 50 rides and even the famous steel dragon roller coaster. For my hubby that does not like amusement rides. he spent the whole day at the Mitsui outlet park which is located just outside the theme park.

    After getting off the boat, we walked across a covered bridge to the Pearl Museum, where you can see exquisite pearl exhibits and shop for pearls if you need them. We also watched a female divers show, which was performed every hour regardless of the weather or season. The female divers did not use any diving equipment to dive to the bottom of the sea to salvage.
