Ise Sea Paradise
An aquarium where you can see up close and interact directly! A zero-distance experience.
Ise Sea Paradise is an aquarium near the famed "Meoto Iwa" (Married Couple Rocks) in Ise City, offering up-close encounters with a variety of marine creatures.
Popular for its "zero distance" interaction, you can not only watch performances like the "Sea Lion Show," "Walrus Walking Time," and "Seal Feeding Time," but also directly touch and interact with various animals, including touching the skin of spotted seals, shaking hands with clawless otters using their natural behaviors, and wrapping a seahorse around your finger.
Besides the interactive experiences, Ise Sea Paradise is directly connected to an indoor shopping mall, "Ise Meotoiwa Meoto Yokocho," which features dining and souvenir shops, making it a full-day outing option.
