Kaiyukan, the world's largest aquarium where whale sharks swim
The Kaiyukan is an aquarium representing Japan, boasting an overwhelming scale.
The whale shark, the symbol of Kaiyukan, is majestic and has a striking presence! In addition, 620 other species and 30,000 other sea creatures live at Kaiyukan.
If you want to get a closer look at the marine life, you can't miss the various guided tours, where you can watch the zookeepers feeding the animals and giving them training, and the "meal time for the animals."
After 5pm, the lights in the aquarium are dimmed, transforming it into "Kaiyukan at Night." The faint light shining into the ocean and the swaying waves are a very romantic sight, and we highly recommend it!

This is a shop that is only open to visitors who have entered the building. It is lined with exclusive products that can only be found at official shops, such as collaborations with stationery and tenugui brands.
