Kyoto Aquarium for the special nighttime private event
I visited the Kyoto Aquarium for the special nighttime private event held on October 17 (Friday) and 18 (Saturday).
This event was organized as part of the services provided to residents by Choei Co., Ltd.[*1] .
(4000 tenants are invited to this event on the 17th and 18th of Oct.)
Before the 6:30 p.m. opening, a long line had already formed at the entrance, and inside, Choei’s friendly mascot welcomed the guests. Many families and couples living in Choei’s managed properties enjoyed the dolphin show and the aquarium's unique nighttime atmosphere.

The “Splash Seat,” where visitors could feel the spray as dolphins leaped right in front of them, was especially popular—not only with children but also with young mothers who, often busy with parenting, were able to relax and reconnect with their playful side.
Each penguin had its own name to help visitors feel more familiar with it.
The exhibit also highlighted creatures from Kyoto’s clear mountain streams, such as the native Japanese giant salamander.
Mr. Kahfi from Indonesia shared that after graduating from a university in Indonesia, he studied at a Japanese language school in Kyoto. Having fallen in love with the city, He decided to join Choei, a local real estate company. He first worked in the hotel division, but now enjoys assisting foreign residents in finding homes in Kyoto.
I also saw several international students and families participating. I felt that this kind of community event, organized by a real estate management company, is significant in today’s world, where neighborhood ties are weakening. It offered a precious sense of connection and peace of mind for everyone involved. (Editor of Globalcommunity Kazumi Miyazaki)
