Paid to see cruelty. The animals are sad looking in small tanks and cages. The dolphins had sores (possibly because there is not enough space for them to swim and play!). I left the with tears in my eyes :-( Surely some kids look fascinated to see the animals, but I would never take my children there unless it was... More

I was staying in Tokyo and was recommended to go here to take the kids. It actually was a turned out to be an excellent day trip from Tokyo. The aquarium was among the best I have been to and they had an amazing aqua show when they turn on the special effect lights and feed the fish. It was... More

We (4 adults incl in-laws & 3 kids - 9/6/5 yos) planned a day trip to Yokohama from Tokyo and intended to catch the dolphin show, spend about 2 hours there then move on to Chinatown, the pier, park and Ramen Museum. We managed only one of those things. We totally underestimated Sea Paradise and ended up spending the whole... More

I love aquariums cause I love animals and so this was an easy 5/5. I unfortunately went on a day it was raining and had started to get sick on the train rides there, but even that didn't damper my spirits too much.

The aquatic animals were just too adorable and it was so nice that they had a variety of performing animals rather than a really long show with minimal... More

The smaller exhibits around the main aquarium are interesting too, but the highlight for me (and the little children) was the tide-pool area where you could wade, touch and... More

The aquarium is so beautiful, the food options r excellent, the rides r ok! All those combined results in a very nice day out with your friends.

This place, I believe, is the 2nd biggest aquatic sanctuary in Japan that you can spend at least half-a-day to go around while enjoying your time. They have fantastic shows too both for adults and children. Make sure not to miss it.

Reaching Hakkeijima sea paradise may seem a pretty tedious task to many tourists- from Shinjuku station you get on the JR Shonan- Shinjuku Line and get off at Yokohama station, then hop on the JR Negishi Line and get off again at Shin-sugita station, then hop on the Seaside Line and you'll arrive at Hakkeijima station finally, after..... just a...
