Enjoy a soothing experience at this small aquarium.
Although this aquarium is small, it is clean and carefully maintained.
One unique and popular experience is the "Aqaba Toothbrushing." Be sure to give it a try!
Renovations are planned for the near future, so we're looking forward to seeing how it evolves.
This is a warm and welcoming spot that's also recommended for families.
This is a small aquarium on Chichijima Island. It's within walking distance from the Omura area, so if you have some free time, I recommend checking it out. While I wasn't able to do it on the day, it seems you can also try brushing the teeth of a red snapper. The exhibits include fish that are likely found in the waters off Ogasawara. There's also a squid tank outside, which I wasn't able to see on the day, but perhaps it's available at certain times of the year. While it's small, each tank is large, and it displays more rugged fish than cute ones, making it a unique aquarium. There's also a Japan Coast Guard patrol boat anchored right in front of the premises. It was my first time seeing one up close, so I was surprised to see it so close.
