Aquamarine Fukushima, Public aquarium in Iwaki, Japan
Aquamarine Fukushima is a public aquarium in Iwaki, Japan, home to more than eight hundred marine species displayed across multiple tanks. The facility includes habitats for coral reef fish, Arctic species, and other ocean dwellers.
The aquarium opened on July 15, 2000, as part of a regional effort to advance marine education and research in Fukushima prefecture. Since then, the facility has served as an important center for understanding ocean ecosystems.
The institution maintains strong connections with local fishing communities, incorporating traditional Japanese maritime practices into its educational programs and exhibitions.
Adult admission costs 1,850 yen, with students paying 900 yen and preschool children entering free. The facility is well-marked and accessible for visitors of all ages.
A triangular underwater tunnel lets visitors walk beneath swimming fish and observe marine life from below. This design allows for overhead views as the animals glide above.
