Naturally the weather opened the aquarium as a great choice, because it was near the ocean the heat wasn&#8217;t so bad (but still pretty bad). Most of it was indoors or shaded too, which was a nice bonus. The aquarium was small but cool, there was a lot of cool stuff to see. The highlights of my visit there were definitely the shows, being able to see them for free (after paying for an aquarium ticket) was really neat. The dolphin show was especially cool, when they would do impressive jumps the entire crowd would erupt with applause.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-445\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/japan-summer-2025\/files\/2025\/06\/IMG_6360-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/japan-summer-2025\/files\/2025\/06\/IMG_6360-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/japan-summer-2025\/files\/2025\/06\/IMG_6360-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/japan-summer-2025\/files\/2025\/06\/IMG_6360-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/japan-summer-2025\/files\/2025\/06\/IMG_6360-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/japan-summer-2025\/files\/2025\/06\/IMG_6360-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I also saw spider crabs there, which was cool.
