Aquas, Best Aquarium in Japan
By Mai Nakada
AQUAS is the best aquarium I have ever seen. We can see about 400 kinds of interesting fish and no less than 10,000 creatures. In this aquarium, we can see the most fish in the Chugoku region.
Therefore, we won’t tire of seeing them. My favorite fish tank is the shark tank. There are several types of sharks, for example bullheaded sharks. They look funny and pretty! One of the most important reasons I love this aquarium is we are able to see white dolphins.
White dolphins cannot be seen in many aquariums in Japan. So, if you go to AQUAS, you can go through the rare experience! That is why, I would recommend that you go to AQUAS at least once!

Discovering interesting creatures
By Ryu Harada
I always enjoy walking in hamada these days. we can see various things like beetles and flowers, inhabitants, even a beautiful view throughout the walking. Almost all of them are very characteristic because Hamada is located among the nature. There are few places where we can enjoy living among nature like hamada in Japan.
I often run into cute creature like beetles and reptiles. Finding them make me happy because I can see many kinds of them four times a year. Take butterflies for example. When we run into them, we think that the spring has come. In addition, I feel relaxed and lucky when I find stag beetles, too.
We can see not only beetles but also inhabitants. Recently, I often talk with an old man who has a big black dog as a pet. At first, our connection was just greeting. However, we are good terms with each other by my praising his dog. We even talk about our family nowadays. You may be able to meet someone who be on good terms with you.
What’s more, we can see even the beautiful view. There are many beautiful views in Hamada. In particular, I think that we can see the most beautiful view from Yuhi-Park-Hamada. The view that the sun set in the Sea of Japan is very attractive for all people. For the first time I see the view, I thought that it was beyond description.
Why don’t you enjoy walking in Hamada, too?
If you begin this habit, You will be able to find various things that you haven’t ever notice about Hamada.

Fresh sea foods
By Kyoka Wakabayashi
Hamada is rich in nature. I’m sure you will have a good time if you visit in Hamada. First of all, there are many beautiful scenes in Hamada. Especially, I like to see the sunset which is amazing from the view line in the University of Shimane. I recommend you to take a camera if you visit in Hamada. Second, Hamada is facing the Japan’s sea. So Hamada has a lot of fish and you can eat fresh fish. I like BATOU, which is a famous fish in Hamada. Finally, there are some hot springs surrounded by nature in Hamada. For example, “MIMATA ONSEN” is a famous hot spring in Hamada. You can view a waterfall while taking an open-air bath. Therefore, Hamada is in the countryside but it is a very good place. I think you can enjoy yourself if you go to Hamada.
