先日一年ぶりに知り合いと海遊館行った
The other day I went to the aquarium in Osaka, called Kaiyuukan, with my friend.
I hadn't been in over a year.
The aquarium mainly holds aquatic animals from the Pacific Ocean's Ring of Fire. It is done in a vertical lay-out, so as you walk around the aquarium you are gradually going down. There are 27 tanks in 16 main exhibits with a total volume of 10,941 tons of water. The largest tank is 9 meters (30 ft) deep and holds 5,400 cubic metres (190,699 cu ft) of water.
もうそろそろ節分のでジンベエザメの水槽に、オニの衣装を身に着けた「オニさんダイバー」が登場する。
Soon it will be the Japanese Holiday of "Setsubun" where Japanese kids throw beans at people wearing ogre costumes (more here ). So, the divers who clean the largest tank were wearing ogre costumes.
今年のイルミネーションは「南極大陸をイメージし、なんと約100万個のLEDを使用。巨大なシロナガスクジラなどのイルミや海の中を散歩しているかのようなシーストリートが登場する。」
In the winter, they have some lighting displays. This year the theme was Antartica, with the main attraction being that of a blue whale.
やっぱり水族館楽しいね！
I love going to aquariums!
See you
