The aquarium was quite peaceful and had a much simpler format. Most of the signs and such aren't translated into Japanese, but they aren't required to take delight in the overall experience of the various fauna, with many species of fish, insects, and other types of creatures. There is a show that only those who can comprehend Japanese will be able to fully enjoy, of course, but this is still available to all viewers. The biggest fault to note is that certain spaces in the hallways are a little dark.

There were actually a lot of interesting exhibits. My favourite were the sea lions and penguins. I hope they are well treated, have space to live, and not forced to do tricks all the time. Unfortunately due to COVID, the touch tank was closed and the sea lion show had a limited number of seats. Therefore I suggest going at another time when it is safer. However, for the price, it was well worth it.
The aquarium was surprisingly impressive with a great assortment of sea life to view as well as a sea lion show. I was thinking that being located on a relatively small island that it would be a fairly small aquarium but it took us a couple of hours to make our way through. Being able to dip your hands or feet into ponds of the little nibbling fish was a great surprise as well.
A clean, lovely aquarium that has a wide variety of sea life and a cute seal show. Hosts some native species and has educational signs that are in English as well as Japanese. Very nice for a family outing.
I’m not sure if I just came in on a wrong week or something, but when it came to the sea lions, penguins and larger animals, there was nothing impressive or lovely about it. The penguins were placed in a room that was small and with barely any water for them to swim in. They were scattered around trying to get in front of the A.C air vents, i guess it seemed that the room they were in was not in a room with the correct temperature for these creatures. The sea lions were in a tank that was a little over half their size, big enough to swim in circles for endless hours. My most concerned part was how dirty the water was, practically brown. Swimming in their own feces. Bleh. Other than that, it was relatively nice, but certainly not a sanctuary kind of environment.
