Tsuruoka: Jellyfish at Kamo Aquarium and Shonai Seashore Tour

This tour begins at the Tsuruoka Municipal Kamo Aquarium, known worldwide for its large variety of jellyfish species. Both children and adults are captivated by the moon jellyfish gently drifting in the 5-meter diameter large tank. In the afternoon, head to Yura Beach, called "the Enoshima of Tohoku," cross the vermillion-colored bridge, and walk around Hakusan Island. After paying respects at Zenpoji Temple dedicated to the Dragon Deity, the day concludes at Yunohama Beach watching the sun set into the Japan Sea. With leisurely travel and plenty of beach play time, this Shonai seashore tour offers a full day of enjoyment for families with young children—jellyfish, sea, and sunset all in one.
