Yama no Aquarium, Public aquarium in Onneyu Onsen, Kitami, Japan

The Yama no Aquarium displays over 3,000 freshwater fish representing 50 species within a 600-square-meter facility at the base of northern Hokkaido mountains.

The aquarium first opened its doors in 1978 and underwent a complete renovation in 2012, introducing new exhibition techniques and innovative display methods.

The facility educates visitors about Hokkaido river ecosystems through regular feeding demonstrations of the Ito fish, Japan's largest freshwater species.

Entry tickets cost 670 yen for adults, 440 yen for junior high school students, and 300 yen for elementary school students, with annual passes available.

The aquarium features Japan's first waterfall tank and the world's first seasonal tank that naturally freezes during winter, displaying fish under ice.
