Sendai Umino-mori Aquarium opened in July 2015 as a symbol of recovery from the great earthquake. In an area of 9,900 sq. meters, it displays the beauties of all the oceans of the world in about 100 tanks of all sizes. The main giant tank is especially a must see. Other than the displays, there are also dynamic dolphin and sea lion performances as well as events like "friendly time," where visitors can interact with animals. Also popular are option programs such as picture taking with dolphins.

Impressive Giant Fish Tank

Inochi Kirameku Umi (ocean shimmering with life), the giant tank reproducing one of the world's top three fishing grounds Sanriku ocean, has an impressive scale of 6.5 m height and 13 m width. The 25,000 marine animals of about 50 different kinds swimming elegantly underneath the natural lighting is a fascinating view.

Sensational Dolphin and Sea Lion Performances

Dolphin and sea lion shows are held in Umino-mori Stadium, the largest one in Tohoku with about 1,000 seats. Viewers are at a close proximity with the animals and can view them right in front, as there are no acrylic fences in between. One performance lasts around 20 minutes and is held about 5-7 times in a day.
