There's a castle in Hokkaido that looks like an aquarium

Quoted from @tan_sui_kabutz's post

A fantasy aquarium that looks like something out of a movie! This is Noboribetsu Marine Park Nixe in Noboribetsu, Hokkaido. The central building, Nixe Castle, was modeled after an old castle in Denmark, and is home to 20,000 creatures.

The poster is Kabutsu-san, who travels around the country to aquariums as a hobby. We spoke to him about the time he took this photo at the end of September last year.

I have traveled to Hokkaido many times, but I had never visited an aquarium, so this time I visited aquariums all over Hokkaido. Shibetsu Salmon Science Museum, Northern Land Aquarium, AOAO SAPPORO, Otaru Aquarium, Sunpiazza Aquarium, Toyohira River Salmon Science Museum, Muroran Aquarium, Chitose Salmon Forest, Chitose Aquarium, We also visited Noboribetsu Marine Park Nixe.

Apparently, he visited a total of 10 aquariums in Hokkaido! From Otaru in the west to Shibetsu in the east... If you are a Hokkaido resident or have been to Hokkaido, you can probably imagine how amazing this is.

It's like a castle! What to see at Noboribetsu Marine Park Nixe

The poster, who is a huge aquarium lover, showed us the highlights of the aquarium using photos he took.

The exterior of the building was modeled after the real Ejskow Castle in Denmark, and you'll be surprised by its solemn atmosphere, which is hard to believe for an aquarium.

The escalator you come to immediately after entering the building. If you look down from the handrail, you'll see sharks swimming, making this a thrilling escalator.

The Shark Shark, which can be seen in the tunnel tank. This time you can see the shark up close, just like you saw it from the escalator.

The photos are so impressive that they even convey the atmosphere inside the aquarium, and just looking at them makes you want to go to the aquarium. The amusement park "Nixland" is also open on weekends and holidays from spring to autumn, so it's a perfect place for a fun outing with the whole family! If you're interested, why not stop by?

A message to aquariums across Japan

Kabutsu-san has been to many aquariums from the north to the south. On X (formerly Twitter), he posts aquarium photos almost every day, and also holds an "aquarium quiz" where people can look at photos sent in the comments section and guess which aquarium they are at, spreading his overflowing love for aquariums.

We have received a message from him to aquariums across the country.
