\"Tokyo<\/a><\/p>\n

Our most recent Grutt Pass<\/a> adventure had us at the Tokyo Sea Life Park on a Saturday morning. The place was empty in the morning but looked to be getting very crowded on our way out the door in the early afternoon. Live and learn. If you want to visit a spot like this in Tokyo on a weekend, get there at 9:30 a.m., not 1:30 p.m., and your enjoyment factor will go up tremendously.<\/p>\n

Tokyo Sea Life Park (\u845b\u897f\u81e8\u6d77\u6c34\u65cf\u5712) is very similar to the Monterey Bay Aquarium, which we were members of about 10 years ago. They say Japan is expensive, but Tokyo Sea Life Park is a huge bargain compared to the Monterey Bay Aquarium. The cost is only 700 yen (or free if you have a Grutt Pass). The Monterey Bay Aquarium costs four times as much.<\/p>\n

Touching fish, sharks, and rays can be done at either location. Sometimes it is just as fun to watch the expressions on Japanese kids’ faces as they touch the sea life.<\/p>\n

Here is a video of the large tank with Hammerhead sharks (\u30b7\u30e5\u30e2\u30af\u30b6\u30e1) and tuna (\u307e\u3050\u308d). It seems the sharks were getting a bit frisky with their tank mates at this time of the morning.<\/p>\n
