Short Trip to Mie Part 1

This summer I went on a short trip to Mie in Japan.
On the first day i visited Toba city in Mie.
It took about 2 and a half hours to Toba from Kyoto by Train.


Toba is right close to the sea.
So sea food in Toba is so nice. 

This photo is the lunch there.

The fish are fresh and I ate raw ones.
They are too delicious to describe.


Toba has a big aquarium.

It is one of the biggest ones in Japan so there are lots of marine lives.

I will introduce most impressive ones.
The first one is the performance show of a sea lion.

The sea lion catches the soccer ball which the trainer kicked with his nose.
Moreover he played the piano with his nose.
He was so handy and the show was interesting.

The second one is sea otters.

I saw them being fed.
The way of feeding was unique.

First, the breeder throw squid against the glass.
Then the sea otters jump to get the squid.
The way the sea otters hunt their food was exciting.


I enjoyed the first day of my trip in Toba.
