The 10 Best Zoos & Aquariums in Yokohama, Kanto
Yokohama is easily accessible from Tokyo, but there’s enough to see and do here that it’s worth more than a day trip. Visit Minato Marai 21, a popular, modern neighborhood with great shopping and tons of restaurant options. TripAdvisor travelers also recommend stopping at Big Wharf (Osanbashi Pier), a uniquely shaped pier with spectacular views.

【Cute Capybaras & Teddy Guinea Pigs Petting Zoo】You’ve never seen such capybaras just like puppies. The cuties are looking forward to meeting you at “Capybara Land PUIPUI” in Yokohama Japan. YOU could get relaxed for interaction with them. We’d love y’all to meet! The capybaras here are so active, cute and friendly we’ve never seen such capybaras in the world. We got relaxed and recharged by spending time with them. We could enjoy any meal in the shop, especially Hawaiian coffee of seven brands, ex. Molokai, Kauai, Maui, Waialua(Oahu) etc. We should go there anyway. We could feel happy after meeting them. During the summer vacation promotion, admission is only 500 JPY for adults.

It’s bit far to reach from Central Yokohama area but it’s still worth while going there to explore Zoorasia. Elephants welcome visitors entering from the main gate! It offers more than we expected and we ended up not seeing everything. Especially if you are keen to get your kids experience with small animals, it is a must to get there early as spots get filled up quickly!

6. Yokohama Omoshiro Aquarium
Overall Ratings
4.0 based on 35 reviews
Funny aquarium is an aquarium motif with a small small south island elementary school motif. When I go into the school gate, the shoe cask aquarium first! In the principal's office gymnasium warehouse, music room, etc. inside the hall are like making elementary school. In front of the aquarium, a three-choice quiz on fish name and ecology is being asked! It is an aquarium where you can learn about fish as well as enjoy watching fish. Baby aquarium is a cute kindergarten motif aquarium. I am exhibiting fish eggs and babies that I can hardly see. There is a slide and jungle gym aquarium, etc., and you can enjoy fishing fun while playing. The height of the aquarium is looking at the child's eyes, and you can watch the aquarium while hi-hi.

YOKOHAMA HAKKEIJIMA SEA PARADISE is a leisure land surrounded by nature. It is located at the tip of Yokohama Bay and is a new generation style amusement park. It is the home of one of the top aquariums in Japan. There is Japan's first surf coaster that swings out over the ocean, an exhilarating vertical fall amusement ride, BLUE FALL. We have specialty shops , great restaurants, a marina and a hotel located among wide grass and flower gardens. There are so many things to do and experience; you will not be satisfied with just one visit. Being at our Sea Paradise creates an ideal setting where man and sea can communicate together.

Before entering the main gate, the walkway has already got us stunned, it’s not the usual seaside view. We were surrounded by windy wild sea with eagles flying around above us, not to mention walking on the long bridgeway towards the main gate was so exciting, as if you walked on an open sea! Overall the Aquarium is not crowded. Bought Aqua Resort Pass to enjoy 4 areas in the aquarium (Aqua Museum, Fureai Lagoon, Umi Farm and Dolphin Fantasy). Special shout out ought to be the giant fish tank! One just cant resist not to stop by, standing and admiring the underwater dances. We enjoyed the trip very much as we didn’t bother to take slower steps in every segment. For seafood fans, you can have the freshest seafood meal by fishing it yourself and have it cooked here at Umi Farm. We are satisfied with almost everything here, except the gift shop is not that fancy. Overall, it might not be the best aquarium experience you’ve ever been but it is the one that you don’t want to miss out. Definitely coming back!
