Shinagawa Epson Aqua City

You don't need to go outof Tokyo and spend a lot of hard-earned money to find relaxing and interesting thing to do - regardless if you are alone, with your family,friends or your partners.

Just steps away from Shinagawa station in Tokyo is a tiny but very nice aqua museum. The beauty of compact places is you can take more time to read and observe the animals. The place gives you the intimacy to get to know a little bit of these water species, and more importantly, not so much in a rush to see everything.

I enjoyed the sea lion show the most, with Baron as the star sea lion. He's so cute and playful. I hope we have places like these that are accessible in the Philippines, a very creative medium to educate our children and even ourselves.
