The Shimonoseki Marine Science Museum, affectionately known as “Kaikyokan,” is an aquarium in the Karato district of Shimonoseki City which opened in 2001. The Museum is famous for its collection of over 100 species of Fugu (Pufferfish) from all over the world and for its exhibit of a complete skeleton of a Blue Whale. Must-sees include the “Humboldt Penguin Special Conservation Area,” where visitors can observe a recreation of the habitat of the Humboldt Penguin, which lives in areas with a warm climate, and performances featuring dolphins and sea-lions.

Reviewed:2018/03/04 Very interesting puffer fish exhibit.

Shimonoseki is famous for puffer fish. But I cant remember seeing so many species of puffer fish in an aquarium. In general, an enjoyable visit.

Reviewed:2018/02/14 If you the Puffer fish fan, this is a good place to visit

The aquarium itself is not so big as the Osaka one but it has a collection of more than 100 types of puffer fish (Fuku:in Japanese). There is also a small area for sea show but you its only one...
