Noboribetsu Marine Park Nixe

Built in the architectural style of Danish castle Egeskov, Noboribetsu Marine Park Nixe contains numerous aquatic exhibits across multiple themed zones and display areas.

The marine park, which opened in July 1990, introduced a novel concept by combining a traditional aquarium with Scandinavian-inspired architecture in northern Japan.

The facility integrates Japanese marine conservation practices with Nordic design elements, housing 400 species of sea creatures in specialized habitats and exhibition spaces.

Located five minutes on foot from Noboribetsu Station, the aquarium operates daily from 9:00 to 17:00, featuring dolphin performances, seal demonstrations, and penguin parades.

Visitors ascend through the aquarium via escalators surrounded by water tanks, creating an immersive underwater experience within the castle-like structure.
