Moguranpia, Underground public aquarium in Kuji, Japan
The Kuji Underground Marine Science Museum contains over 3,000 marine animals from 200 species in tanks built within former oil storage facilities.
After the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake, the aquarium operated near Kuji Station before returning to its original location through community support.
The museum features demonstrations by ama divers who display traditional Japanese pearl diving techniques without modern diving equipment.
International visitors receive English language pamphlets to navigate the exhibits, which typically require 60 to 120 minutes to explore completely.
The facility incorporates a tunnel tank system inside converted industrial oil storage pits, creating an underground marine viewing experience.
