Chitose Aquarium, Public aquarium in Chitose, Japan
The facility features Japan's largest freshwater tank system, displaying diverse aquatic species from the Chitose River's ecosystem through multiple observation points.
The institution, which started operations on September 10, 1994, stands as the first Japanese facility with underwater viewing rooms for river observation.
The aquarium maintains strong connections to local fishing traditions through educational programs about salmon migration patterns in Hokkaido's waterways.
Located within Roadside Station Salmon Park, the aquarium operates daily from 9:00 to 17:00, with adult admission at 800 yen and children at 300 yen.
The facility captures and monitors approximately 200,000 salmon during autumn migration using traditional water wheel methods at specialized observation points.
