Hekinan Seaside Aquarium

A hands-on exchange facility that connects agriculture and consumers, created under the theme of agriculture, food and health. A motoshi experience plantation where vegetables can be harvested with your own hands, a maternity market with local fresh vegetables, a restaurant with an extensive menu, a bath with herbal scents and an integrated facility packed with ornamental greenhouses displaying 350 species of plants. We also hold events in conjunction with spring, summer, autumn and winter. It can be enjoyed in a wide range of ages from small children, so let's go with family.

It was founded for over 250 years and was the birthplace of Mikawa Mirin. More than 300 years old, "Taizo" is also listed on the National Registered Tangible Cultural Property. A "Mirinzo Guided Tour", where you can learn about the method and history of Mirin, where you can learn about the "Kuju Mirin Chōkan" and some of the factories (reservations required). There is also a Restaurant & Cafe K-hermitage where you can enjoy lunch and sweets using mirin and mirin-lees. This is an old private house restaurant that has been built for more than 200 years, and you can enjoy the charm of mirin as well as Japanese food. At Hachirouji Ishikawa, where you can buy souvenirs such as sweets using mirin and mirin, "mirin soft", which is only here, is also recommended.

Renewed in March 2024. On the first floor of the museum, you can learn the power generation mechanism and the content of zero-emission thermal power in a panoramic theater and projection mapping, based on the concept of a “experience-based museum that touches the cutting edge of zero-emission thermal power generation”. The second floor is a children's room komorebi, an area where children under the age of 8 can play freely. In addition, there are three facilities: JERA garden, which walks through the lawn open space and the flower garden, and JERA forest where you can observe wild birds. Picnic is also recommended with play equipment. There is also a maze of jabujabu ponds and plants.
