Aquarium where you can “get along” with animals
The theme of the aquarium “Umitamago (sea egg) ” is “getting along with animals,” and visitors can encounter a variety of creatures such as walruses and dolphins, as well as fish and shellfish that live in the Bungo Channel that stretches out before their eyes.
●Large Migration Tank
The 1,250-ton large migration tank is home to 1,500 fish of 90 species, including sharks, rays, and other large, powerful fish. Visitors are invited to watch the feeding of the fish with commentary on how they eat.
The tank is structured with an island made of artificial rock in the center, around which seawater flows in a circle. The aquarium was the first in the world to create an aquarium of this shape 50 years ago.
The complex shape of the rock allows both small and large fish to coexist and accommodate more species of fish.
There are many ingenious features hidden in the large migratory aquarium tank, which gives a completely different appearance depending on the location of the viewer.
●Touch Pool
A variety of fish from the Oita Sea swim in an aquarium that seems to blend in with the beautiful Beppu Bay.
Visitors can develop a sense of compassion for sea creatures by feeling their touch, smell, and temperature, and nurture a rich emotional response to the magnificent seasonal scenery overlooking Beppu Bay.
●Aso-beach
A new type of beach with the theme of “playing with animals x playing with art” was created!
You can observe dolphins swimming freely in the pool and various creatures strolling around in their natural state.
Watch the animals on the white sand beach and frolic on the artistic playground equipment. Why don’t you spend a luxurious time at Aso-beach ?
