Deep sea creatures are some of the world's most fascinating animals, and a special event taking place at Yokohama Hakkeijima Sea Paradise will explore them in greater detail. The Deep Sea Life Festival is set to run from late December to early April, with an incredible 500 deep-sea creatures from 50 species on display.
The event includes the opportunity to touch certain deep sea life specimens, and even the chance to taste some of them – the deep sea food event boasts menu options such as grilled Japanese spider crab, grilled hagfish, and anglerfish soup available for purchase.
Please note that while viewing the deep sea life creatures is included with the usual aquarium admission fee, some attractions such as the touch experience come with additional costs – more information about pricing can be found on the Yokohama Hakkeijima Sea Paradise website.
