Takeshima Aquarium【Temporarily closed】

4.5

The old fashioned exterior of this aquarium speaks of its long history; inside, you’ll find some 4,500 marine creatures comprised of 500 species. The aquarium displays both freshwater and seawater life. Many of the informational cards and posters in the aquarium were hand-written by the staff themselves. Visitors appreciate the easy-to-understand content. The aquarium also goes to efforts to routinely change the content of their exhibits. The cute sea lion shows are popular with adults as well as children.

Quick visit

This place was a great surprise. The vast collection of marine life here was unbelievable. ¥500 for adults. The touching pool was better than any Ive seen at any aquarium worldwide. Well done.
外観より充実

外観は小さいのですが、中に入ってみると思ったより充実しています。漁師さんと連携していることもあって、レアな（他の水族館ではほとんど見られない）深海生物もいたりします。手作り感満載の解説も楽しいです。子供連れで賑わっていました。
こじんまりだけど、存在感のある水族館

大好きな水族館巡り。小さいけど、話題性で来客たくさん。手作りの説明書きも人が多くてゆっくり読めないくらい。時間が足りないくらい書き込まれていて飽きない。
