○●HIROSHIMA●○

Yesterday I went to Hiroshima!!! Why did I go to Hiroshima? BECAUSE!!! I wanted to go Miyajima Aquarium!!!!! So I went to Hiroshima with my cousin, Nana.

We arrived at Hiroshima at eleven! And we took the train again, and rode on a boat for Miyajima! And we arrived at Miyajima :))) We walked to Miyajima Aquarium. On my way to the aquarium, we saw Itsukushima Shrine! Do you know it? It was registerd on World Heritage list in 1996. Very famous shrine! I've never been to Itsukushima Shrine, so I was so glad to see it!

We walked and walked and walked... and arrived at MIYAJIMA AQUARIUM!!!!! This aquarium was famous for SUNAMERI(スナメリ, Finless Porpoise). Sunameri is a kind of dolphin, and they're so cute!!!!!!! I found them soon :) Oh!!! Very cute!!!! There were four dolphins, and one dolphin approached us! I was moved! Also I was so happy :D

And we saw many marine lives. All animals were very cute and made me happy. Miyajima Aquarium wasn't large so much, so we looked around again and again. I couldn't be tired of seeing them :)

We left aquarium at five. And we rode a boat, took the train.... and arrived at Kumamoto at 10:30! We were very tired. However this was happy tiredness, I thought.

I've been to some aquariums. Every aquarium was so nice. However Miyajima Aquarium is very very nice! I like it very much!!! So I'm so sad that Miyajima Aquarium close down ;( This is for renewal, but I like the present Miyajima Aquarium! I don't want to renew... but I hope that new Miyajima Aquarium will be better than now! And I want to go to new Miyajima Aquarium, and meet sunameri again :) I'm looking forward to see you!!!!!

now they are talking.... :)

Hakkeijima Sea Paradise

Last week, I went to Chiba!! So I'll talk about my trip to Chiba :-) First I'll talk about Hakkeijima Sea Paradise!!!

●8/11…Hakkeijima Sea Paradise●
I went to Yokohama Hakkeijima Sea Paradise!!! This is an aquarium in Yokohama. This aquarium is very famous, so I think that many people know it.

I arrived there at 10. There were three kinds of aquariums in Hakkeijima. First I went to the largest aquarium. There were many animals. I liked polar bear! They were so cute :-) And there was chin-anago (Spotted Garden Eel), so I became very happy!!! I like chinanago very much. I took many pictures.



After I looked many animals, I went to see show of animal. However I arrived at place of show before the show started, so I looked dolphins. There was pool next to the show pool, and there were many dolphins. They practiced for show. Dolphins were so clever. I couldn't be tired of their performance.


At 12, the show started! Sea lion, walrus, pilot whale, dolphin... many kinds of animals did great performance. I was moved by their performance :-)



After that, I went to dolphin aquarium! This was special aquarium of dolphin :-D This was a visionary place! There were three dolphins and one beluga (White whale). Do you know beluga? Beluga is white dolphin. They are so cute!!! Of course beluga in hakkeijima was also cute :-) He (or she) was very popular, so many people looked him. I like 'Pacific white-sided dolphin' the best, but beluga was really cute! I like him too.

Next I went to another spacial aquarium! It was 'FUREAI Lagoon.' We can touch many animals at this aquarium. There were many animals. For example, otaria, penguin, walrus, starfish... and my sweet dolphins!!! I wanted to touch dolphins!!! I waited for the dolphins to come. Wait and wait and wait... However I couldn't touch ;-( That was very unlucky. But!!! I was happy because I was able to watch dolphins near! Dolphins were sooooo cute!!!!!!!!!!!! I thought that I was the happiest girl :-)


At 19:30, I went to the show pool again because it was the time of last show. Night show was different from daytime show. Daytime show was very exciting, however night show was more touching! I was moved :-)


Last I bought souvenir for Milktea, my friends, and my family. I was tired a little, but I was also happy. This trip became my good memory!!!
