Kobe City Suma Aqualife Park
Aquarium
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.

- Good little aquarium
- Given its relatively small size, this is a very nice aquarium. There’s an entertaining dolphin show for the kids, a good selection of fish and marine creatures, and generally a well thought-out...

- やっぱりイルカ!こっそりアシカw
- 年間パスポートを持っているので、年中行きます。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...

- It is very nice in one part - where there are giant aquariums and fish and smaller sea creatures. That part is excellent. What is not that nice are cages where some of the animals are. They are small...
