Assalamualaikum,
How to beat Japan’s summer? My personal choice is to visit the water theme attraction!!!
Summer in Japan is quite challenging, the heat wave is something that many people try to avoid as hard as possible, one of my favorite things to do during the summer is to visit Aquarium,
Umi No Mori, an aquarium located in eastern Sendai (the city where I live) is a place where you can explore underwater life in the Japanese sea, especially the Tohoku region. You will find gigantic water tanks filled with marine life of the Sanriku coast, it feels that I was standing in front of the ocean itself.
Umi No Mori aquarium is two stories building, first floor is where you can enjoy the view of forest Maboya (sea squirt/sea pineapple) above your head, Tohoku is the home of Maboya and it is considered local cuisine for the people of Tohoku, you can also enjoy the giant water tank with various of marine life from Sanriku coast (This is my favorite so far), exhibition of creatures that live in a cold seas, deep sea (more than 200m depth), many kind of seaweed display, etc.
On the second floor, there is the water stadium to watch the dolphin and sea lion attraction and don’t miss a chance to enjoy the sea creatures exhibition from the sea of the world from Asia to Africa, various kind of Jellyfish species and gigantic tank view from the second floor, don`t forget to feed the penguins too!!!
After the tour, I love to visit their souvenir shop, there are so many cute souvenirs to bring back for friends or family.
