Highlights of "Marinepia Kobe," which finally opens tomorrow. The concept of an outlet store has been overturned, and the seaside view gives it a resort-like atmosphere!

A marché and food court where you will want to conquer all the stores. In addition, a new bakery restaurant with a spectacular view was created in collaboration with a popular local Kobe restaurant! The “Food Marche” in the Marinepia Mall has a total of 13 stores (approximately 200 seats). In addition to eat-in restaurants where you can take a break from shopping, each restaurant also offers…

Top 7 Niigata City Museums You Should Visit *Activity Archive*

If you're interested in museums, Niigata City has a few different options. Some of them are related to aspects of Niigata, while others are just for fun. This is my list of the top 7 Niigata City museums.

7. Niigata Science Museum

The Niigata Science Museum has many interesting sections to show off all kinds of science in action. Even without being able to read Japanese, there are a lot of interactive displays that you can enjoy. There are sections on optical illusions, space, robotics, dinosaurs, and much more. They also have a planetarium and a section where they hold special exhibitions, like the Pokemon fossil one I went to see with friends. It’s also near a nice bakery, Saffron Meikei, so you can always grab some breakfast before heading over.

6. Niigata City Aquarium Marinepia

Right next to the ocean, the Niigata Aquarium, Marinepia, is full of ocean wildlife. You can see dolphin shows or walk around and check out the various animals inside. A small outdoor section showcases different plants and animals with some quiz questions too (though they are in Japanese). It’s not huge, but there’s still plenty to do, and it’s right across from a gelato store and an all-you-can-eat Indian curry restaurant.

5. Niigata Rice Cracker Kingdom

Niigata Rice Kingdom is a rice cracker museum about a 20-minute walk from Niizaki Station, though there are also closer bus stops. It isn’t very large, but it does have a small kitchen where you can cook your own rice cracker and paint it to make some parts darker. It can be a little difficult to find because the first thing you see is the back of one of the buildings, but you should be able to follow the arrows to the doors. They also have a small rice cracker store in Niigata station 2F East Side.

4. Northern Cultural Museum

The Northern Cultural Museum is the beautiful old house of a wealthy farming family. It’s got a Japanese-style garden and a few displays of old artifacts, as well as the Wisteria which blooms in late April and early May. However, it is difficult to get there. You either need a car, or you have to catch one of the few buses that drop off nearby, which don’t run late at night during the Wisteria light-up season because the museum isn’t usually open that late. However, there is a smaller version close to Furumachi that was an author’s home. While it’s not as big, it’s much easier to get to.

3. Shirone Kite Museum

Another museum that’s not further up the list because of the distance, the Shirone Kite Museum is still worth a visit, especially if you can go while the actual kite festival is taking place. The buses to the Shirone Kite Museum come and go about once an hour and during the festival, there are also free shuttle buses to important parts around Shirone. The museum itself displays kites like the ones used in the kite battles over the river, some small and some giant. There’s even a video hall where you can see the creation process, though as far as I could tell it’s all in Japanese, but the visuals are the most interesting part anyway.

2. Minatopia

Minatopia is the Niigata City History Museum located along the Shinano River. It’s a nice place to check out the history of Niigata and even includes some cool old buildings on the grounds. If you want to read more about it, check out my full article here: https://www.tumblr.com/redheadinjapan/720910514442633216/niigata-city-history-museum-minatopia-activity?source=share

1. Saito Villa

Saito Villa is very similar to the Northern Cultural Museum and is just around the corner from its city branch. It’s an old merchant’s house with beautiful Japanese architecture and gardens. It is a little smaller than the Northern Cultural Museum, but you can actually get tea or coffee and snacks while you sit and view the garden. Unfortunately, the Noto earthquake in January did damage part of the garden, but only a small section is currently roped off.

Museums can be a great way to spend a day, alone or with friends. You should definitely check out some of these great Niigata City museums if you have ever have some time to kill or are in the area.

Commerson's dolphin dies at Hakkeijima Sea Paradise

CetaBase on facebook:

Sakura, a Commerson's dolphin, died on August 26, 2017 at Hakkeijima Sea Paradise in Japan - she was 7 years old. Sakura was born on June 20, 2010 at Marinepia Matsushima and had moved to Hakkeijima Sea Paradise in June 2016.
