Highlights

Point 1

Compare the Kuroshio and Oyashio in an Underwater Tunnel!

Aquamarine Fukushima Compare the Kuroshio and Oyashio in an Underwater Tunnel!
The tunnel of the large tank at Aquamarine Fukushima, which holds about 2,050 tons of seawater, is a specialty of the aquarium. The passageway is designed in a triangular shape, resembling the "tide line" of the Kuroshio and Oyashio currents. On the Kuroshio side, fish such as bonito and sardines swim at a tremendous speed, sparkling and shining as they swim around. On the other hand, the Oyashio side is rich in plankton, with seaweed growing densely, allowing you to feel the "sea that nurtures life." Inside the tunnel, try comparing the fish of the Oyashio and Kuroshio currents.
Point 2

Get Up Close with a Coelacanth Specimen!

Aquamarine Fukushima Get Up Close with a Coelacanth Specimen!
Aquamarine Fukushima has been focusing on studying the ecology of the coelacanth since its opening. The museum displays real specimens of this "living fossil" and you can also watch footage of coelacanth fry, which was filmed for the first time in the world. Coelacanths, which are said to have evolved from fish to amphibians, are important creatures in the evolution of life. Come and see this valuable fish up close.
Point 3

Encounter Rare Creatures at the Oyashio Icebox!

One of the attractions of Aquamarine Fukushima is the chance to see "extremely rare" creatures collected from the Sea of Okhotsk. The Sea of Okhotsk, located in the extremely cold Oyashio current, is a treasure trove of unique creatures, and the distinctive creatures are displayed in the "Oyashio Icebox". The tanks, arranged like a jewelry box, each have a description of the creature and the number of stars indicating its rarity, making it easy for anyone to understand. When you find a creature with many stars, both adults and children are sure to be thrilled!
Point 4

Powerful! Northern Sea Creatures and Birds

The source of the Oyashio Current is the Okhotsk Sea and the Bering Sea. The area is rich in plankton, so many fish live there, as do many monsters and seabirds that feed on them. In the facility, you can watch elegant swimming of not only seals and spotted seals but also ribbon seals that can only be seen at Aquamarine Fukushima. They are quite friendly and come close, so let's admire their dynamic appearance up close!
Point 5

Explore the Creatures Living in the Coral Reef!

In the aquarium with a spread of coral reefs, many unique creatures are on display. You can see the colorful creatures that live in the coral reefs of the Kuroshio Current source area. Among them, the most popular with children is the sight of a large group of Kinmedodoki swimming together. It looks like a big fish is swimming alone. The Chinanago, which pops its head out of the sand, is also popular. Although it's usually a timid creature, if you're lucky, you might be able to see it "staring down" with the Chinanago next to it.
Point 6

At Aquamarine Fukushima, the exhibit area "Fukushima's Sea - The Road to the Continental Shelf" has newly opened. Here, a large number of deep-sea creatures are on display. The tanks containing the creatures that live in the deep sea look like they are from outer space. You'll feel a different kind of charm from the creatures you usually see. Especially the giant isopods and spider crabs are very popular with children. Come and see the "creepy-cute" deep-sea creatures with your own eyes.
Point 7

Explore the "Backstage" of the Aquarium

If you visit Aquamarine Fukushima, one tour you won't want to miss is the "Backyard Tour." This tour allows you to peek behind the scenes of the aquarium, where you can see things that are not normally visible or experienced. The backstage of the aquarium is filled with pipes everywhere. The equipment used to send and extract water from the tanks is very expensive. You can also visit the "Backyard of the Kuroshio Icebox" and the "Upper Part of the Large Tank," making it a valuable experience program where you can learn how the creatures are managed.
Point 8

Among them, the "Snake Eye Beach" is a huge 4,500 square meter experience pool where you can touch living creatures barefoot and is the largest of its kind in the world. It reproduces the nature of the beach, allowing you to touch starfish and sea cucumbers, play in the sand, and enjoy a variety of activities. It's a place where you can have fun just walking barefoot on the sandy beach. When playing at Snake Eye Beach, be sure to bring a towel and change of clothes.
