Kamo Aquarium, Public aquarium in Tsuruoka, Japan.
The Kamo Aquarium contains over 60 species of jellyfish displayed in specialized tanks with circular windows across two exhibition floors.
Established in 1930, the facility transformed into a jellyfish-focused aquarium when facing economic challenges in the late twentieth century.
The facility integrates marine life into local cuisine by offering specialized dishes including jellyfish-infused ice cream and ramen at its restaurant.
Visitors can reach the aquarium by taking a 40-minute bus ride from Tsuruoka Station, with services running every two hours throughout the day.
The aquarium features the world's largest jellyfish tank, measuring five meters in diameter and containing more than 10,000 moon jellyfish specimens.
