Iyoboya Hall, Fishery museum and public aquarium in Murakami, Japan
The four-floor Iyoboya Hall contains exhibition spaces dedicated to salmon, including tools, equipment, and an aquarium with multiple water tanks for marine life.
The museum opened in April 1987, reflecting Murakami's connection to salmon fishing, which dates back to the Heian period when fish was sent to the Imperial Court.
The name Iyoboya comes from the local dialect word for salmon, representing the deep connection between the city of Murakami and this important fish species.
The facility maintains daily operations from 9:00 AM to 4:30 PM, with admission fees of 600 yen for adults and 300 yen for students.
The building features an exterior salmon sculpture, pink-colored walls, and a special 'Salmon Road' passage with wave-like ceilings displaying projected fish images.
