Apparently there won&#39;t be a dolphin show after the renovation, so I went to see it for my kids before then.The stage is small, so the distance is very close, and it&#39;s very impressive.The inside of the building is small and seems to be suitable for toddlers to elementary school students.

Actually, there is a WING building opposite the Takanawa exit of JR Shinagawa Station. Just walk straight inside from the building and the outdoor escalator. The adult ticket on site is 2,500 yen/ticket. The price on Ctrip is still slightly cheaper. It is effective immediately after buying on site. Just scan a code for one order. After entering, there is an indoor pirate ship on the right hand side (500 yen/time, and then follow the route in the museum. There is also a paid carousel on the left hand side). The route is planned. You can&#39;t go back halfway because the escalator is not open. The dolphin show is quite interesting, mainly divided into the main and supporting roles, and there are lights and other blessings. The gift hall at the end is also very cute. Overall, it is still worth a visit.

You still have to walk a distance after getting off the subway. It&#39;s still quite hot in summer. It&#39;s a free landmark that can be viewed from a distance. The red and white colors match the blue sky very well. It&#39;s also nice to see the tower around the corner. The night view should be very nice when it&#39;s lit up at night. I&#39;ll come and see it next time.
