わくわく海中水族館シードーナツ, Public aquarium in Kamiamakusa, Japan
Description
Wakwaku Kaichuu Suizokukan Seedokunattsu is an aquarium in Kamiamakusa that houses marine animals in large tanks with different water conditions and environments. The facility floats directly on the ocean, creating a setting where visitors can watch the creatures while surrounded by water on all sides.
History
The facility began as part of the Amakusa Pearl Center complex and was designed to connect marine education with the region's tradition of pearl farming. Over time, it developed into a center focused on sharing knowledge about local ocean life.
Culture
This place tells the story of how the ocean shapes life in this part of Japan through its displays and layouts. Visitors can see how local people have always depended on marine resources and continue to respect them.
Practical
Plan your visit for the morning when natural light is best for seeing the animals and the space is less crowded. The building is easy to navigate and accessible to most visitors.
Did you know?
The facility sits inside a doughnut-shaped structure that floats on the water, giving it an unusual design you will not find in most aquariums. This floating building creates an odd feeling of being completely surrounded by water while watching the animals inside.
