Uozu Aquarium

Aquarium

3.5

Uozu Aquarium is located in the Sanga district of Uozu City. The first aquarium on this site was opened in 1913, making it the first aquarium to be established on the Sea of Japan side of the country. The current Uozu Aquarium, which opened in 1981, is the third aquarium to occupy the site. Focused on the themes of “From the streams of the Northern Alps to the deep waters of the Sea of Japan” and “Taking a scientific look at Toyama Bay,” the Museum also uses Japan’s first transparent acrylic glass tunnel to showcase Toyama’s aquatic life forms. There is also a “Rice Field Biodiversity” zone, which features amphibians and reptiles such as Tonosama Frogs and Japanese Rat Snakes.

意外？と充実

外観の寂れ具合から、あまり期待はせず入りましたが、意外にも中は充実していました。センターの大水槽には、トンネルも作られていて、エイやマグロが優雅に泳いでいました。富山近海、アマゾン、珊瑚など、テーマも分けられていて飽きない造りになっています。今まで見たことないくらい巨大なアオウミガメもいました。屋外にはアザラシやペンギンのプールがあり、こちらは入場料がなくても見ることができます。

子供がとても楽しめました。展示が見やすいです！！コロナでイベントが中止にはなっていましたが、礒の生き物に触れあえたりできて良かったです。館内も広すぎないところが良いです。
