Yokohama Hakkeijima Sea Paradise
Last updated: August 26, 2026
Hakkeijima Sea Paradise fills its own island in Tokyo Bay on Yokohama's southern edge — an entire sea-themed resort where four aquariums share the shoreline with fifteen rides, restaurants and open waterfront promenades. The Aqua Museum alone holds some 100,000 creatures, Fureai Lagoon lets you meet dolphins and belugas up close, and Umi Farm goes further still: catch your own fish, then have it cooked. The rides answer with Blue Fall, a 107-metre vertical drop, and the Surf Coaster that zooms and loops out over the water itself.

Frequently Asked Questions
The Aqua Museum is the flagship, home to around 100,000 sea creatures across five storeys; Dolphin Fantasy is an arched underwater tunnel where dolphins swim overhead; Fureai Lagoon is the hands-on one, with touch pools and up-close animal encounters; and Umi Farm turns the bay itself into a classroom — catch a fish and it's cooked for you on the spot.
Ride the Seaside Line to Hakkeijima Station — reached from JR Shin-Sugita or Keikyu's Kanazawa-Hakkei — and cross the bridge onto the island on foot. From central Tokyo the trip takes about an hour, and from Yokohama Station around half that.
No — the island itself is an open seaside park, free to stroll, with the promenades, shops and restaurants available to anyone. The aquariums and rides are what you come for though: the 107-metre Blue Fall tower and the sea-skimming Surf Coaster are visible from the whole bay shore.
