Visitors bid farewell to aquarium with 88 years of history

Staff members of Marinepia Matsushima Aquarium in the town of Matsushima, Miyagi Prefecture, see off visitors by exchanging high fives on May 10, 2015, the last day of operations. The aquarium ended its 88 years of history due to the aging of the facility. Marinepia Matsuhima, which opened in 1927, was flooded to a depth of up to about 1.8 meters when tsunami waves hit northeastern Japan in March 2011. (Kyodo) ==Kyodo
