Ashizuri Underwater Observation Tower, Underwater observation tower in Tosashimizu, Japan.
The red and white cross-shaped tower stands above water and connects to land through a metal bridge, offering views of marine life through porthole windows.
The Faculty of Engineering designed this marine observation structure in 1972 as part of the Ashizuri-Uwakai National Park development project.
The tower functions as a non-invasive viewing station where visitors observe local sea creatures in their natural environment without any form of confinement.
Visitors can reach the tower by taking a train to Nakamura Station, followed by two bus connections through the Kochi Seinan Kotsu transportation system.
The underwater windows provide views of seasonal marine visitors, including sardines in winter, horse mackerel in spring, and barracuda during autumn months.
