Ise Sea Paradise
伊勢シーパラダイス
A “zero-distance” aquarium beside the Meoto Iwa (Wedded Rocks), where you can get close to walruses, seals, and sea otters. Popular with families.
Ise Sea Paradise sits beside the Meoto Iwa (Wedded Rocks) at Futamiura and is known for its “zero distance” concept. Most exhibits have no glass barriers. Walruses wander through the aquarium and pose for photos with visitors. At set times you can touch seals and feed dolphins. Sea otters, short-clawed otters, and penguins can also be observed up close. Interactive programs are packed in, which makes it well suited to children. The park is small and can be explored in 1.5 to 2 hours. It pairs well with the Meoto Iwa and Ise Ninja Kingdom for a half-day outing. Admission is about 1,800 yen. Hours are roughly 9:00–17:00, and it has closure days in winter. Access: about 15 minutes' walk from JR Futamiura Station.
