[2025 Sendai Attraction] Travel Guide for Sendai Umino-Mori Aquarium (Updated May)

#One-day tour in the city Attractions: Sendai Marine Forest Aquarium (Sendai Yumino Aquarium) 📍Address: 4-6 Nakano, Miyagino-ku, Sendai City, Miyagi Prefecture 🕰️Business hours: 9:00～18:30 💰Per capita consumption: 2,100 yen for adults, 1,600 yen for junior high school students and seniors (over 65 years old), 1,100 yen for elementary school students, 600 yen for children (over 4 years old) 💞Recommended reasons: The Sendai Ocean Forest Aquarium is the largest aquarium in Northeast China. I originally thought it was just an ordinary aquarium, but I didn’t expect it to have such a big connection. This is the most important aquarium in Northeast China. Located in Sendai Port, because Sendai is known as the forest city, it was named the Ocean Forest Aquarium, and its main exhibition is marine life. Transportation guide: From JR Sendai Station, take the Sengoku Line tram to JR "Nakano Sakae Station" and get off and walk for 15 minutes, or take the "Sendai Tome Aquarium Line" outside Nakano Sakae Station. It is true to say that it is a family aquarium. The most famous one is the penguin show event that is limited to winter. Especially the uncontrolled penguins keep rushing forward and walking around. It seems different from the penguins in Asahikawa, but they cannot bite. It’s just people. In addition, the penguin feeding show is also crowded with people, and the scene design allows people to get very close and almost touch the animals. Another highlight is the ocean show. Don’t sit too far in front because there is no glass curtain in front. Remember to check the feeding show times of each show after entering the venue. The aquarium has a total of 2 floors, with about 100 large and small tanks, displaying about 50,000 marine creatures of about 300 species, including jellyfish, garden eels, giant king worms, and sharks. The largest tank in the museum, the Sparkling of Life, contains 25,000 sardines, swimming in groups like a sardine storm, as well as sharks, rays and other fish. It is a spectacular sight. The water tank feels like you are in an underwater world. You can see different marine life in five major themes, from offshore to deep sea. No wonder Sendai Aquarium is the most famous parent-child education theme venue in Northeast China, because Sendai Ocean Forest Aquarium is so fun and the theme education content is so rich that it is difficult to write a travelogue Having said that, I recommend everyone to visit Sendai Marine Forest Aquarium when traveling to Sendai.

#besttrip2023 I took this photo from the window while traveling to the Tohoku region on the Shinkansen from Tokyo Station. I was happy to see the beautiful Mt. Fuji while traveling on the Shinkansen. I've seen Mt. Fuji on an airplane, and also from nearby Lake Kawaguchi. Seeing Mt. Fuji from the Shinkansen is the best and it makes you want to climb it. Mt. Fuji is really high and beautiful, I was really moved. I would definitely like to visit Mt. Fuji at least once in 2024. Mt. Fuji is amazing.

The dolphin show was super cute and it was fun to see the fish from Finding Nemo! There were not only fish, but also squirrels, lizards, etc. so there was a lot to see! It's the best. Please come!
