[2024 Kyoto Attraction] Travel Guide for Kyoto Aquarium (Updated Sep)

Kyoto Aquarium is a great place to relax and enjoy. The admission fee is quiet fare because it already includes a dolphin show and the amusing penguin feeding session. During feeding time you can see the personalities of some of the little Cape Penguins who as the staff take care, to feed each one of them because some penguin try to steal fish from the other penguins due to the number of fish is not equal. All feeding sessions last about 20 minutes. #givethanks

The Kyoto Aquarium and Kyoto Railway Museum

The Aquarium and Railway Museum are next to each other, so it's very convenient when you want to visit 2 places in a day. The Kyoto Aquarium is full of sea animals for you to see, including penguins, dolphins, fish, axolotls, and there's even a shark! You can buy a lot of souvenirs at the gift shop too. I really enjoyed watching the sea animals. Overall, it's very amazing! The Kyoto Railway Museum is a wonderful place for children. There are a lot of games to play, and there's even a restaurant with a marvellous view of (actual) train tracks. You can order spaghetti, ramen and desserts. There are even different 1:1 scale models of trains! The experience was really wonderful and amazing. #familytrip

An aquarium within walking distance from Kyoto Station.

Location: Kyoto Aquarium Address: 35-1 Kankijicho, Shimogyo-ku, Kyoto City, Kyoto Prefecture, inside Umekoji Park Access: 15-minute walk from JR Kyoto Station It is recommended to visit other tourist spots first and then choose to go to the aquarium last, as it is within walking distance from Kyoto Station. The aquarium was open until 6 PM, but I was able to see everything even after entering past 4 PM. There are many famous creatures such as garden eels and penguins, and in the large tanks, various fish swim around, creating a fantastical atmosphere. There are also many other creatures, so you can take your time and look around at your own pace.
