SPOT
Mountain Aquarium (Aquarium of the Northern Land)
An aquarium specializing in freshwater fish, a rarity in Japan. The sight of a school of Japanese huchen, Japan's largest freshwater fish, said to be a phantom fish, is particularly spectacular.
Its main attractions are its innovative, world-class exhibition methods, such as the world's first 'Four Seasons Tank' which freezes over in winter, recreating a natural river in Hokkaido, and Japan's first 'Waterfall Basin Tank' which allows you to look up from below the waterfall basin. Please be sure to experience it.
In addition, there are also tanks with tropical freshwater fish from around the world, such as the Amazon and Asia, as well as a touch pool corner.
