Okichan Theater
You can watch various behaviors of dolphins (Indo-Pacific bottlenose, Pacific white-sided dolphins and false killer whales). You will enjoy watching dynamic jump and humorous dance and coral of dolphins. In addition, you can learn their specific ability (e.g. echo-location and learning ability) by our educational program.
We observe "show pool" developing show that dolphins are dynamic against a backdrop of East China Sea and Italy Enoshima and underwater dolphin from glass surface and add "diver show pool" which can learn the life. In show pool where the depth of the water rose by 2m, dolphins jumping more highly attract. In addition, we were able to enjoy show comfortably as rain-cover and awning were installed. Furthermore, we are reliable as 12 seats of space for wheelchair is prepared for by barrier-free design that slope and handrail, tile for visually-impaired person included.
