Some of the animals here aren't shown anywhere else in Japan, like the dugong. There were many unusual animals, such as adorable little garden eels, and outside there was even a "petting" area with fish that clearly loved the attention!

We visited this shrine while on a cruise ship excursion from Toba. It is not very far from the port, and definitely worth visiting. Our five-hour excursion from Toba included the Grand Shrine and Okage Yokocho shopping area at Ise, the Futami Okitama shrine, Meotoiwa, and Pearl Island at Toba. This is a very spiritually meaningful and interesting place.

It's my first time going to Japan with my family and it was a tour on that tour I get a chance to go to this place at first I thought it was just an ordinary garden but at night and the lights turn on its beautiful. The Place is good for people to take photos because it has many spots, not only garden with lights its also have many Koi fish and staff there let you feed them their food by buying them. At night you have the chance to see a light show so its good to go there in the evening and wait until night to see the show Overall I think it's worth it for taking photos and a whole new experience.

I’ve been traveling to amusement parks all over the world and have been on some pretty amazing roller coasters. Japan has a good list of top favorites when it comes to roller coasters. This park is extremely clean. One of the cleanest parks I’ve ever been to. All the major roller coasters were open at gate drop but after two trains on Steel Dragon finished their circuit, the ride closed due to high (not so high) winds and never re-opened. If your goal is to ride this ride, be warned that the slightest breeze will close it down. Maybe be the first in line and sprint there when the gates open to be the first on the ride. Hakugei is all that it’s hyped up to be! I’ve never been thrown around in my seat on a roller coaster as much as I have on this one. It’s everything you would expect on an RMC. Similar to other guest reviews, they have very different loading and line styles in Japan. Safety and experience are very important and it shows the way they load the trains. They take extra time to make sure each person is loaded correctly and go over safety multiple times. As an American, I’m all about speed and efficiency but in Japan, speed is not life. Expect long wait times (especially on a busy day) because they don’t load the trains as quick as one would expect. For Hakugei, if you have something extra cash on you, buy the Priority Ticket for 1,000¥ which you can get at the ride entrance. I rode it twice, once in the regular line and once in the priority line. The regular line took 1.25 hours and the priority line took 10min. The same loading style happens on all the major rides so bring some patience, reading material or someone to keep you company because you’ll be waiting a lot. They do have free lockers at all the major rides so you don’t have to leave your bag at home. The park itself is very vibrant. Lots of colors, theming and it’s extremely clean. Highly recommended for people of all ages.

This shrine is the smaller one, situated not far from the town center. It is great to stroll around, and enjoy the atmosphere of greenery and mystery that floats around. You can end up in little trails in the forest, and really feel the nature around you. I visited this shrine before the bigger one the next day, and it's a good thing I did. It's like going to a different scale.

Spring is an azalea. Summer is a red dragonfly. Autumn turns red. Winter is rime on trees and an icefall. You can enjoy yourself in four seasons.

Went on a sunny Sunday. Crowded with a lot of locals visiting for the autumn viewing of the maple trees. Long queue about an hour to purchase the ticket and join another queue for the ropeway ride. However I followed the wrong crowd went to a boring museum thinking there might be another leg, in the end was just one way up and I missed the exit to the station missing the magnificent view up the mountain. Went down the bottom platform to take photos the view was not bad as well. Very expensive trip due to my own mistake.
