Shimoda Aquarium, Public aquarium in Shimoda, Japan.

The facility includes three main areas connected by floating docks surrounding a small bay where dolphins swim in natural conditions.

The aquarium opened its doors in 1967, establishing itself as a marine education center on the southeastern coast of Shimoda City.

The aquarium presents daily performances of dolphins and seals, reflecting Japanese dedication to precision and scheduled entertainment.

The entrance fee costs 2,400 yen for adults and 1,200 yen for children, with group discounts available for parties of ten or more.

A 600-ton tank houses 200 different fish species within a floating domed structure that allows visitors to observe marine life through underwater windows.
