Recommendation tourist attraction 7 election in Otaru where the day when it rains can also be enjoyed

Otaru where nostalgic cityscape writes up emotions of the traveler. It's also fun to take a walk unexpectedly with the camera in the hand, but there are many spots which can also enjoy charm in Otaru fully by the unlucky weather. Without worrying about history which prospers as a port town, culture and the weather such as Property which can sense abundant nature and a Experience program, I'll introduce tourist attraction which can be enjoyed.

The marine creature which seems to be Hokkaido and the aquarium the scale can enjoy

The Atka mackerel familiar by a dining table swims free from all cares. The aquarium where it's also Hokkaido that such form is seen, well.
The Atka mackerel familiar by a dining table swims free from all cares. The aquarium where it's also Hokkaido that such form is seen, well.

The aquarium where it's in the location of about 15 minutes by car from Otaru-shi district. More than about 250 kinds of marine animal and fish are always exhibited. The group of the big shark and ray isn't tired of the "panoramic migration water tank in" a sea swum around expansively forever.
The culture number of heads of the other seals and Steller's sea lions doing culture display of an unusual porpoise only in Japan is also best of Japan worldwide. I'm astonished at the size of the vast scale suitable for Hokkaido because there are freshwater fish of the domestic maximum level, itoh, a halibut of the world maximum level (company of Righteye Flounder) and MIZUDAKO.

A show of a bottle-nose dolphin and Ota rear (company of a hair seal) can be seen at a dolphin stadium. It's fact guaranteeing which gets rapturous from a child to an adult in charm of the force of the bottle-nose dolphin which gives and jumps a splash of water and the Ota rear to which a laugh is invited by humorous acting.
A touch area "I touch, and, Ezone (good ZON)" is the spot which can touch the creature which lives at a sea in Hokkaido such as a company of a starfish and Strongylocentrotus nudus. There is also a touch pool of 3 ℃ of same water temperature as a sea in Otaru of the midwinter, and I'm certain that I'll realize sturdiness of the creature through which I live at a frigid sea.
