Kaikyokan: A Unique Aquarium Experience in Shimonoseki

Located along the coast of Shimonoseki, "Kaikyokan" is a one-of-a-kind aquarium renowned for its world-class pufferfish exhibits 🐡. With displays themed around the Kanmon Strait and entertaining dolphin and sea lion shows, it's a spot that both adults and children can enjoy ✨. Visiting the aquarium, you'll be amazed by the sheer variety of pufferfish species! The creative exhibits make it not just a visual experience but also an educational one, adding to its charm. The dolphin show, set against the backdrop of the sea, is exhilarating, with their jumps earning spontaneous applause 👏. The aquarium isn't overly large, allowing for a relaxed and leisurely visit, which is another delightful aspect. 🚃 Access: About a 15-minute walk from JR Shimonoseki Station 🚗 By car: Approximately 10 minutes from the Shimonoseki IC on the Chugoku Expressway (parking available nearby) Whether you're looking for a soothing outing as a couple or a solo journey into the marine world, Kaikyokan is perfect. It's a place that makes you want to return to see the seasonal exhibits 🌈.
