[↑Exhibition Ended] 📍Thoughts📍 I love the theme of the tortoise walking area, which I introduced in the photo. This aquarium has the largest poison dart frog exhibit in the Kinki region, and I love how dynamic the Nature Aquarium in this area is. Workshops are available right after you enter, so I think it's a well-balanced aquarium that children and adults alike can enjoy and experience without getting bored. Other urban aquariums don't offer workshops, so I think it's unique to Kobe. 🥳✨ It's connected to Minato Onsen in Mamukae, so I hope those traveling from far away can enjoy both the hot springs and the aquarium. 😊✨ #LimitedEvent #Tourism #Aquarium #Kobe #KobeTourism #ZeroYenTravel2025Autumn #DomesticTravel
