Dolphinarium in Japan to close as visitors stay away
Falling visitor numbers have caused a dolphinarium in Japan to announce it will close its doors.
The Inubasaka Marine Park, which opened in 1974, only now receives around 50,000 visitors a year, down from a peak of 300,000 a few years ago.
It is unclear what will happen to the dolphins held at the park but sadly it appears they will be moved to other facilities.
