しおさい公園

My sister and I visited the Shiosai Park and Museum. It's built where Emperor Taisho (Yoshihito) spent the last ten years of his life and Emperor Showa (Hirohito, current emperor's father) acceded to the throne. Hirohito was a marine biologist and his collection of specimens and marine life from Sagami Bay is one of the main exhibitions of the museum.

ずっと行きたいと思っていたしおさい公園(大正天皇が崩御され昭和天皇が即位された地)としおさい博物館(昭和天皇の海洋生物のコレクションが展示されている)にとうとう行ってきました(姉と)。
