First stop was the Yokohama Hakkeijima Sea Paradise, one of japan's largest aquariums. Inside the aquarium complex was a huge tank, more than two floors high and housing at least three huge manta rays (see previous post) among the many other colorful fishes.
Going up to the 2nd floor is through the escalator which cuts through the aquarium. Folks have a closer view of the creatures because the escalator is underwater! On the right above are Mark and Meema, the subjects of my many other photos from that day (not all have been uploaded, though, so just continue to check my flickr for updates.. sorry ^-^;;).
These were just some of the creatures featured in sea paradise. Compared to the animals in tokyo sea life which i visited a few months ago, the animals here were bigger, especially the sharks and the turtles! Also there were more giant crabs here.
Plus, there was a really entertaining marine animal show! It was my first time to see a show of this kind. It was filled with awesome stunts and funny tricks from dolphins, sea lions, walruses and a beautiful white whale.
