While in Hakone, Japan, we had the chance to visit an aquarium.
As a scuba instructor I don’t usually enjoy these places, but being with my children added a whole different dimension to the trip.
The highlight for them was when one of the staff jumped in the tank and swam with the creatures.
This ray in particular seemed to have a connection/relationship with the diver.
Japan and its people hold a bond with nature and animals that seems to run deep through society.
