Quote from @tan_sui_kabutz's post

A fantasy aquarium that looks like something out of a movie! This is Noboribetsu Marine Park Nix, located in Noboribetsu City, Hokkaido. The central building, "Nix Castle," is modeled after an actual old castle in Denmark, and 20,000 creatures are on display.

The contributor is Mr. Kabutsu, who tours aquariums nationwide as a hobby. We asked him about the story at the end of September last year, when this photo was taken.

I have traveled to Hokkaido many times, but I had not visited any aquariums, so at that time I toured aquariums all over Hokkaido.
Shibetsu Salmon Science Museum, Aquarium of the Northern Lands, AOAO SAPPORO, Otaru Aquarium, Sunpiazza Aquarium, Toyohira River Salmon Science Museum, Muroran Aquarium, Chitose Salmon Forest, Chitose Aquarium,
We also visited Noboribetsu Marine Park Nix.
He visited a total of 10 aquariums in Hokkaido! A total of 10 aquariums in total. From Otaru in the west to Shibetsu in the east... If you are a resident of Hokkaido or have been to Hokkaido, you can imagine how amazing this is.

It is like a castle! What are the highlights of Noboribetsu Marine Park Nix?

The owner of the post, who loves the aquarium, introduced some of the highlights of the museum from the photos he took.

The exterior of the building is modeled after the real-life "Ysko Castle" in Denmark, and you will be surprised at the solemn atmosphere that you would not expect from an aquarium.

The escalator just after entering the building. It is a thrilling escalator with sharks swimming when you look down from the handrail.

A shark called a white alligator that can be seen in the tunnel tank. You can see the shark that you saw from the escalator, but now you can see it up close.

The powerful photos that seem to convey even the air inside the aquarium make you want to go to the aquarium just by looking at them. The amusement park "Nixland" is also open on weekends and holidays from spring through fall, making it a perfect destination for a fun-filled family outing! If you are interested, why not stop by?

Message to Aquariums around Japan

Kabutsu-san has been visiting all kinds of aquariums from north to south, posting photos of aquariums on X (formerly Twitter) on a daily basis.

We asked him to send a message to all aquariums in Japan.

If any aquariums in Japan ask us to use their photos of kabutsu, we will send them the photo data anytime. We will gladly provide them free of charge.
I feel your love for aquariums everywhere...! I hope this message reaches aquarium staff all over Japan! We look forward to seeing more posts from Kabutsu-san, who continues to express his "I love, love, love aquariums.
