    An aquarium standing on Onahama second Port’s Pier facing the Pacific Ocean.

    規模が大きいのと、距離が長いスキー場です。 全体的にコース幅が広く、スキーやカービングやる方に向いているかと思います。 初心者コースも距離があるので、上達も早まるかと思いました。 比較的斜度も急なコースは少ない印象です。 パークもあり低めのキッカーなので、これから始められる方にはおすすめできます。 リフトは速く回転率も良いが、山頂まで2回乗り継ぎで山頂まで行くのが面倒でした。 ゴンドラかロープウェ...

    入場料は700円の淡水魚水族館ですが、一番のメインはカワウソでしょうか。 ただ、カワウソは餌の時間に行かないと寝てしまっていることも多く、楽しめないかもしれません。 魚は日本の淡水魚がメインですが水生昆虫(ゲンゴロウやタガメ)も結構展示されていて子供も興味を持つかと思います。 珍しいと思ったのは水槽に水は3分の1以下にして、陸地部分を設け森の様にして鳥も一緒に展示しているのは珍しいと思いました...
