Hakkeijima Sea Paradise
Some things in life are universal. The smell of the sea air, the wind in your hair. And, apparently watching dolphins perform stunts on a hot summer day. Whether in America or Japan, this aquarium and theme park ticked all the right boxes for a family outing.
It is easy to feel conflicted though. In 2023, do these fish deserve to be in captivity? Does science, and a greater appreciation of the world make up for their lack of a natural habitat? That’s a choice you’ll have to make for yourself. For now, better to sit back and enjoy the show.
