Penguins’ New Year’s visit to a shrine

2016.01.06

Places to visit

In winter, you can see imposing 90 centimeters tall King penguins going for walking every day
at “Echizen Matsushima Aquarium” in Sakai City, Fukui Prefecture.
And until January 11, a small shrine and a torii(shrine gate) has been set up,
so you can also see the penguins visiting to the shrine through the torii cutely and stately.
(Starts 11:20, 15:10 each day)
Meanwhile, if the penguins find a curious thing on the way,
they will go off their walking course though ;) (H.S)
