Kaiyukan is one of Japan’s most spectacular aquariums, world-renowned for its innovative presentation. Kaiyukan shows the aquatic animals of the Pacific Rim at their most vibrant and dynamic, by recreating the natural environment of their habitats.
At Kaiyukan there are over 15 large tanks, each recreating a specific region of the Pacific Rim, taking visitors on a virtual tour of the Pacific Ocean. The tanks include, “Japan Forest,” which recreates a sunlit, beautiful Japanese forest; the icy, snow-clad “Antarctica;” and the centerpiece of the aquarium, “Pacific Ocean,” a 9 m deep, 34 m long tank containing 5,400 tons of water, serving as the home of whale sharks, the largest fish species in the world.
For Baby Stroller Users:
To ensure that all visitors can fully enjoy the aquarium, the KAIYUKAN does not recommend the use of baby strollers within the venue. Some exhibits cannot be observed from the eye level of babies or young children in strollers. Because of the low lighting, it is also possible that a baby stroller may collide with other visitors, causing injury when the venue is crowded. It is highly recommended that parents carry their babies in their arms when entering the aquarium; the Service Counter will keep their baby strollers free of charge.
Please also note that baby strollers are not lent out to visitors at the aquarium.
