Aquariums

Explore Japan's world renowned aquarium

Aquariums are a staple tourist attraction throughout Japan. With the ocean surrounding the country on all sides, many coastal towns and cities around the country have an aquarium of some shape and size – be it the form of colossal aquariums such as the Osaka Aquarium Kaiyukan and the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium, or smaller, more niche aquariums like the Miyajima Aquarium. Whether you are an avid aquarium lover, looking for something to keep the kids entertained, or simply just trying to find something to do to get out of the rain, aquariums in Japan offer great entertainment and fun for all ages.
