Small size aquarium on the port loop

Was raining heavily at kobe thus decide to visit this small aquarium. It is more like art musuem mix with aquarium. Nothing really much and can complete within an hour.

Walking through a digital art cave!

This is a newly built urban aquarium in Kobe. Visitors can enjoy an installation that combines a digital art space with an aquarium. The admission fee may seem high considering it is an aquarium, but it is a reasonable price if you want to enjoy the immersive spaces such as the Team Lab as art. The first floor features a food court with many stylish restaurants. It's a great place to take a break from walking around. You can choose from a variety of cuisines and the food tastes good!
