Aquamarine Inawashiro Kingfishers Aquarium

Aquamarine Inawashiro is a public facility with tanks featuring freshwater fish, amphibians, insects, and kingfishers found throughout the Fukushima region. The displays focus on species that inhabit the lake and connected waterways.

Opened in 1989, the facility serves as a research center dedicated to studying the freshwater ecosystems of Inawashiro Lake. It has developed to support scientific understanding of the region's waterways and their living communities.

The facility highlights kingfishers that live along the lake's shoreline, and visitors can observe these birds alongside displays about how water and wildlife are connected to the region's natural identity. The exhibitions also feature historical practices like silk cultivation that shaped local communities.

The facility offers free parking for visitors and is accessible throughout for those with strollers or mobility needs. Wear comfortable shoes as you will walk between the different areas and exhibit halls.

On clear days, visitors can catch fish in a dedicated fishing pond on the grounds. The catch can be prepared as tempura on-site, offering a hands-on culinary experience.
