I went to Kesennuma Ice Aquarium! As the name suggests, it was really cold inside the aquarium❄️ I went there in light clothing, but they lent me winter clothes for free so I was able to enjoy myself without worrying! The ice lit up with colorful lights was fantastic, and the sight of the fish trapped inside the ice lit up was like another world. It was such a special experience that I even forgot about the cold✨ I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a unique spot to visit Kesennuma♪ #0yentravelnovember#Miyagitourism #Kesennuma
