People were trying to take pictures of the whales using smartphone cameras, and some even brought binoculars or cameras with telephoto lenses.
A man from Izumisano City, Osaka, who visited with his elementary school daughter said, “My daughter said she wanted to see whales, so I was able to do it.”
A man in his 40s visiting from Higashiyodogawa Ward in Osaka said, “I can’t see the whales clearly, but they’re always in the same place, so I feel sorry for them. I wish I might take them offshore.” I was.
In addition, there are posts on social media calling the whale that has strayed near the mouth of the Yodo River “Yodo-chan.”
A man in his 20s who visited from Higashiyodogawa Ward, Osaka, said, “I know that people call me ‘Yodo-chan’ on the internet because I live in Yodogawa. If I might have seen it a little closer, I might have been able to feel familiar with it. I was talking.
