Uozu Aquarium, Public aquarium in Uozu, Japan.

The main exhibit includes a 200-species collection with an underwater tunnel made of acrylic panels, allowing visitors to walk through marine environments.

Founded in September 1913 as Japan's first aquarium on the Sea of Japan coast, the facility underwent major renovations in 1954 and 1981.

The facility maintains research programs on bioluminescent organisms, particularly firefly squid, contributing to marine biology knowledge in the Pacific region.

Located within Uozu Comprehensive Park, the aquarium operates daily from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with parking spaces for 1,000 cars and 30 buses.

The aquarium features Japan's first underwater tunnel design, which later became a model for aquarium constructions worldwide.
