Roadside Station Yayoi Banjou Osakanakan (道の駅 やよい 番匠おさかな館)
This aquarium, one of only a very few in the entire country dedicated to freshwater fish, is located inside Roadside Station Yayoi facing National Route 10 a 10-minute drive from the Saiki Interchange on the Higashikyushu Expressway. The aquarium's tanks recreate the environment of the local Bansho River and are occupied by familiar freshwater fish varieties like sweetfish, dark chub, and carp. The aquarium's global tropical fish area is divided into tanks for regions such as South America, Southeast Asia, and Africa, and fish on display include the spectral Amazonian black ghost knifefish. In addition to its standing exhibition, the aquarium also holds special exhibitions.

Oita Areas
A trip to Oita is tantamount to a long soak in the Beppu baths. The mountainous, coastal prefecture of Oita is renowned for having more onsen than any other prefecture in Japan, most of which lie in the city of Beppu on the west coast of Kyushu, recognizable by its pungent sulphuric aroma and the clouds of steam that puff up across the hillside. Away from the Beppu hot springs await mountains, waterfalls, and temples, so don't hesitate to explore Oita a little further.
