Tamano Marine Museum

Tamano Marine Museum is a public aquarium in Tamano with multiple tanks displaying marine creatures from local waters and other regions around the world. The exhibition spaces are designed so visitors can observe the variety of ocean life directly.

The aquarium opened in 1953 and has been part of regional efforts to share knowledge about the ocean. Over the decades, the facility has grown larger and added more exhibits and programs.

The museum serves as a place where people learn about ocean life and the importance of protecting marine habitats. Visitors encounter information about the creatures living in nearby waters and which species face challenges today.

The museum is open on most days from morning through the afternoon and you can walk through most areas on foot. It helps to plan enough time so you can see all the tanks and exhibits without rushing.

The museum has tanks where you can touch the creatures inside to learn more about ocean life. These direct encounters give visitors an immediate sense of connection with marine animals.
