Kyoto Aquarium is a fantastic tourist spot where people of all ages can enjoy. It is one of the popular spots for families with various marine creatures on display.

Kyoto Aquarium is also famous for the wide variety of unique sweets available. One of the popular ones is the Jellyfish bun, where actual jellyfish is filled in the buns. They are the edible jellyfish imported from ports and not those on display so have no fear eating them.

Also available is the Suizokupan that can be found in the Kaiju Café. Bread of various flavours are shaped in cute marine animals such as salamanders and sea turtles. These buns are not only delicious but will also be something children will enjoy!

The Taiyaki is a famous Japanese fish-shaped cake with fillings such as red bean paste and chocolate. Sanja is a stall located near the Inari Shrine which serves a combination of Taiyaki and parfait. Instead of filling the Taiyaki with the usual fillings, cream, banana and chocolate sauce are squeezed into it. The delightful harmony of Taiyaki and Parfait is perfect for a walk-and-eat food!

Another item available at Sanja is the Natto Gohan Crepe. The Natto is a Japanese dish made from fermented soy beans, while Gohan refers to rice. The Natto Gohan Crepe at Sanja is exactly as its name suggests - rice and fermented soy beans are filled in delicious crepes. Many students who visit Kyoto during their field trips order this snack, and this is also another great walk-and-eat food.
