A Christmas-only event began on November 30 at the Aquatic Museum Umigatari in Joetsu City, Niigata Prefecture, featuring a trainer dressed as Santa Claus and dolphins giving a performance.

Umitari holds a Christmas-only event every year at this time. The trainer dressed as Santa Claus and the dolphins give a breathtaking performance.

Visitor from Nagano
I saw it for the first time. The diver (trainer) was Santa. It was fun and satisfying to see the dolphins and trainer getting along so well.”

Umigatari Sub Leader Mr. Takeuchi
I wanted to create an atmosphere in which the dolphins and Santa Claus would warm the hearts of the audience. If you watch the show with an open mind, your heart will be warmed. We look forward to seeing you.

In addition, a 4-meter high tree is decorated inside the museum to set the mood for Christmas.

The Umigtari Christmas event is open until Wednesday, the 25th of this month.

On Saturday, the 14th of this month, a concert entitled “Christmas Night” will be held in front of the dolphin tank, featuring Mizuki Maruyama, a clarinet player from Myoko City. The performance will be accompanied by a trainer dressed as a mermaid and dolphins.
