Katsurahama Aquarium, Public aquarium in Urado, Japan
Katsurahama Aquarium stands on the shore of Katsurahama Park, offering marine life exhibits and animal shows while facing the waters of Tosa Bay.
The facility first welcomed visitors as Oranku Aquarium in April 1931, establishing itself as an enduring marine education center in Kochi Prefecture.
The facility maintains a tradition of keeper interactions where staff members conduct educational demonstrations and sign autographs for interested visitors.
Visitors can reach the aquarium by taking a 40-minute Tosaden Traffic bus ride from JR Kochi Station to Katsurahama bus stop.
The aquarium houses Japan's largest collection of Japanese lates, known for their red eyes that illuminate when exposed to specialized lighting.
