All about marine life
Shimane Aquarium
For those of you who want to become experts in marine life, I would like to introduce you to the Shimane Aquarium! It is the only place in western Japan where you can meet beluga whales, and you can see daily dolphin and seal shows, penguin walks, etc. Also, if you visit during feeding time of various creatures, the guide will explain in detail about the friends.
So, shall we set out to become a doctor of marine life from now on?
Aquas is the only one in Western Japan!
Meet the Beluga Whale
Shimane Aquas offers a variety of shows! Among them, we will introduce the most popular beluga whale performance. Not only will you learn about their ecology and abilities in an easy-to-understand manner, but you can also watch the cute friends perform the “Happy Bubbling Show.”
There is a saying that goes, “Seeing dolphins bubbling makes you happy.” Make happy memories by watching the show with your loved ones!
* Please refer to the official website for detailed schedule.
Sea Lion VS Sea Leopard
Sea lions and seals! Their names are similar, and their appearances are similar, but how can you tell them apart? In the pool on the second floor, friends will show you various training events such as ball throwing and ring tossing. After watching their amazing abilities, the trainer will also teach you how to tell the difference between sea lions and seals, so watch and solve your questions with your own eyes!
Kids room resembling the bottom of the sea
Aquas has an underwater concept play facility that is perfect for children. It is a space where they can run around to their heart’s content, playing on the slides or taking pictures on the dome-shaped structure. There is also a nursing room and cafe right next to it, making it the perfect aquarium for families!
