Cute little penguins

Nagasaki Penguin Aquarium houses half of the world’s nine species of penguins – from the large King penguins to the inquisitive Gentoo penguins – all under one roof. The facility consists of the Aquarium where you can see the penguins in their enclosures, as well as the Nature Zone where Humboldt penguins swim freely in the natural ocean. Never skip visiting to an aquarium every vacation! #urbanexplorer #momentsmission #thanksgiving#luxuryhotel#skiing#nationalpark#lakes#beaches#romanticrestaurant#bestislandtraveltowns#museumquest#beautifulsunsets#themeparks#café#historicculture#scubadiving#paragliding

Kawachi Fuji Garden is a privately owned wisteria garden, and the land area is a staggering 3,000 tsubo (Japanese unit of land. One tsubo is about 3.3 square meters). It is said that this is one of the largest gardens in Japan. In spring, more than 100 wisteria flowers of 22 types bloom on the ground, and besides wisteria, it has about 700 Japanese maple trees, so the scenery in autumn is also magnificent. To maintain that beauty, the garden is carefully controlled, and since the wisteria flowers can be damaged if too many tourists come, this place is not advertised at all. In addition, the number of entries is limited throughout the year, and general visitors can only enter during a limited period of Spring and Autumn. However, because they want to see the zekkei (beautiful scenery) even if it is only a glimpse, many tourists and media from all over the world visit there. As a result, the reputation of this place immediately spread by word of mouth also abroad. #lakes #triplocal #themeparks #nationalpark #beaches #garden #themepark#zoo#nationalpark#lakes#beaches

Edo Castle was the home of the ruling Tokugawa shogunate, so it became the center of Japanese politics and its many intrigues. It is now the palace and residence of the Royal Family, as well as tranquil gardens and several museums open to the public. #nationalpark #themeparks #lakes #triplocal #themepark#zoo#nationalpark#lakes#beaches
