LIVE JAPAN

Mie Prefecture is the home of the Toba Aquarium. It is located along the waterfront of Toba Bay, near Mikimoto Pearl Island. It is the largest of it’s kind in Japan.

The aquarium has 12 zones, including The Mermaid Sea Zone. It is the only one in the world, where you can see a dugong couple, the legendary mermaids.

It also has daily performances by sea lions. A favorite of all kids young and old.

There is a live web camera, where you can see a wide variety of sea life .

April is the start of the school/business year in Japan, so there are many welcome ceremonies for new employees. Toba Aquarium held theirs underwater. How fun would that be! Wonder how their suits help up!?
