Saturday morning we decided to head to the Shinagawa Aquarium. It was a fun little aquarium that had a lot of local aquatic species and some from around the world. It also had a really cool tunnel water tank where it was like you are walking on the sea floor with the fish swimming above you. There were huge rays, some sea turtles and lots of cool fish in there. There was also Shark Hall that was a tank with sand tiger sharks and grey reef sharks.

Along with the fish they had dolphins, sea lions, seals and some penguins. We went to the sea lion show which had a sea lion that did a traditional Japanese dance (we think), but sadly we didn't think to videotape it until the very end.

We had a nice picnic lunch in the pavilion area outside the aquarium. After lunch we went to the dolphin show. Before the dolphin show there was a huge ceremony for a family, we have no idea what is was about, but neat to see. There were a ton of people in the dolphin stadium and a camera crew.

At the end of our time at the aquarium we went to the underwater viewing area for the seals. It was similar to the other tunnel where the seals swam all around you. Abby and Ella were having fun following the seals as they swam all over.

Overall we had a really fun time at the aquarium, Abby loved the dolphin show the best.
