[2025 Kobe Attraction] Travel Guide for Minatoyama Aquarium (Updated Aug)

📍Minatoyama Aquarium 2-24 Yukigosho-cho, Hyogo-ku, Kobe, Hyogo 652-0031 101 This aquarium in Kobe is an aquarium that has been renovated and operated from an abandoned school. There is a parking lot, so it is best to come by car for access. Admission is 1,200 yen for adults, but even adults can enjoy the nostalgic space of a "school," and it is quite interesting just to look around the aquarium's renovation ideas. It is a small aquarium, but there are fish, otters, giant turtles, and other creatures, so children can enjoy it of course🐢 It is a nostalgic space, and it might be a good atmosphere to come with your partner🐬 ⚠️There may be a bit of a line on holidays, so if you are going with children, it is better to purchase an electronic ticket online #AbsolutelyFreeTravel

🌴Recommended Spots ① A small aquarium that children can enjoy ② A cafe in a building that evokes the nostalgia of an elementary school ③ Enjoy activities such as rainbow trout fishing and shopping inside and outside the facility 🏠Facility Introduction Minatoyama Aquarium Location: 2-24-101 Yukigosho-cho, Hyogo-ku, Kobe, Hyogo Prefecture Access: About 20 minutes by Kobe City Bus No. 7 from Sannomiya Station, get off at 'Ishiibashi' bus stop, 1-minute walk Business Hours: 10:00~18:00 Closed: Irregular holidays 💰Aquarium: Adults 1,200 yen, Children (elementary/middle school students) 600 yen, Infants (3 years and older) 300 yen 💗Real Reviews Visited on a weekend during summer vacation, but there was a wait for parking and to enter the aquarium. Although the facility is not very large, it is a suitable tourist spot for road trips and family trips.

The appeal of electric bicycle touring is that it is maneuverable, can easily climb hills, and can go to places that you would have avoided because public transportation is a hassle. I toured the Minatoyama Aquarium and Higashiyama Shopping Street, which I wanted to visit, for about 4 hours for 825 yen. Departing from Harborland 2 (12:41) ↓ Minatoyama Aquarium ↓ Higashiyama Shopping Street (squid and lemon water are essential) ↓ Minatogawa Tunnel (open only twice a month, so no entry) ↓ Minato Hachiman Shrine ↓ Anpanman Museum ↓ Arriving at Harborland 2 (16:14) It was fun even though we rode under the blazing sun. I highly recommend a rental bicycle trip that allows you to go to different tourist spots than usual. ✱----------------------------------------------- [Service] Docomo Bike Share [Rental Point] Harborland 2 [Fee] 165 yen for 60 minutes, 110 yen for 30 minutes extension [Notes] App required for each person (mobile phone required), fee varies depending on rental area Visit date: September 2024 -----------------------------------------------✱ #Touring2024 #HyogoTourism #Kobe #HigashiyamaShoppingArea #MinatoyamaAquarium #ShareBike #Minatogawa #100TravelStyles #DomesticTravel #Harborland　 #Tourism
