DESCRIPTION
Hakkeijima Sea Paradise is a combined amusement park and aquarium located about 30 minutes by train from Yokohama, situated on a small island called Hakkejima.
Visitors can freely enter the park itself, but an entry fee is required for Aqua Resorts and the rides in Pleasure Land.
Aqua Resorts
Aqua Resorts is a large aquarium complex featuring three main areas: Aqua Museum, Dolphin Fantasy, and Fureai Lagoon. Here, visitors can observe a wide variety of aquatic creatures and enjoy a dolphin show at the top of the Aqua Museum building.
Dolphin Fantasy, located in a separate building next to Aqua Museum, includes a large arch-shaped pool surrounding a tunnel. Visitors can walk through the tunnel and watch dolphins, stingrays, and other fish swimming from below.
The Fureai Lagoon allows visitors to interact with and touch some of the animals, providing a hands-on experience for all ages.
Pleasure Land
Pleasure Land is the amusement section with a variety of thrill rides and kid-friendly attractions. Rides here generally have shorter queues, making Hakkeijima Sea Paradise a great alternative to Fuji-Q Highland for visitors who enjoy ride attractions but prefer to avoid long waiting times.
