About this location: Kamogawa Sea World
Kamogawa Sea World, in Kamogawa City (Chiba), is one of few Japanese aquariums housing orcas, with powerful performances. Dolphin and beluga shows round out the lineup. The show stadium with the Pacific backdrop makes for striking photos.
Key features
- Orca Show (Ocean Stadium) — 2,000 seats, three to four times daily against the Pacific, a spectacular performance
- Beluga Show — second only to the orcas in popularity; the white body against the blue water is dreamlike
- Bottlenose Dolphin Show — the moment of a great leap, with the Pacific behind; freeze splashes at 1/1000s+ shutter
- Rocky World (Sea Lions and Penguins) — recreates the polar ecosystem, with natural light making the perfect photographic space
- Pacific View — the city's coastal setting means the Ocean Stadium's backdrop is the real Pacific
