Kobe City Suma Aqualife Park (神戸市立須磨海浜水族園)
4.0
This is an aqua park in Suma Kaihin Park about five minutes on foot from JR Sumakaihinkoen Station. The aqua park opened in 1957. It is loved by the citizens of Kobe who have given it the nickname of “Smasui”, and the aqua park celebrated its 60th anniversary in 2017. Located in an area as one enters the park, straight away one will come across such animals as sharks and ray leisurely swimming in large tanks. Besides that, there are also plenty of programs for children up to adults which enable you to experience sea creatures up close such as a commentary and a demonstration of feeding the sea otters and a live show where you can have contact with true seals and bottlenose dolphins.

Review of Suma Aqualife Park Kobe
TripAdvisor Traveler Rating小春日和に潮風に吹かれながらのイルカショーも良いですし、真夏のイルカナイトライブもプロジェクトマッピングに魅せられます。秋は暖かなのにイルカショーが空いているのでオススメですし、冬は大水槽前にコタツでまったりするのも良いです。
大水槽前ではお酒付きの音楽ライブもあるので、大人も楽しめます。
そして、こっそり好きなのはアシカです。スイーーーッと泳いでい...

Hyogo Areas

Hyogo prefecture stretches from the north coast to the south coast on the western end of the popular Kansai region, encompassing verdant mountains, urban beaches, and fantastic historical sights. The prefecture’s main attractions lie along the south coast at Kobe, the prefectural capital, a pretty harbor city best known for its production of the renowned Kobe beef, and Himeji, the home of Himeji Castle, one of the country’s most beautifully preserved feudal castles, perched magically atop a hill.
