Hanshin-park, Public aquarium in Koshien, Nishinomiya, Japan
Located next to the Hanshin Koshien Baseball Stadium, this aquarium featured extensive marine life exhibits and specialized penguin habitats stretching over 20,000 square meters.
The aquarium opened in 1929 as part of the Hanshin Park entertainment complex, operated until 1943, then reopened in 1950 before its final closure in 2003.
The facility maintained Japan's largest penguin exhibit called 'Penguin Sea', housing more than 100 Cape penguins in an artificial arctic environment.
The site transformed into the Lalaport Koshien shopping center in 2004, marking the end of its 74-year history as an educational marine facility.
The aquarium successfully kept and displayed pilot whales in specialized pools, training them to perform basic movements for visitors.
