    Hakkeijima is a great place for families and friends to have fun together. You're sure to have an unforgettable holiday here.

  • The main aquarium is amazing! There are also lots of fun attractions, like riding a boat down a rapid river. Super exciting!

    I got to learn a lot more about marine life here.

    You can buy tickets separately here. This time, I only got the aquarium ticket, which made my schedule a lot more flexible.

  • Located on an artificial island at the end of Yokohama Bay in Kanagawa, the roller coaster over the waves is really thrilling! There’s also an aquarium and all kinds of fun areas in the amusement park.
