Aqua World Ibaraki Prefectural Oarai Aquarium

Aqua World Ibaraki Prefectural Oarai Aquarium

Aqua World Ibaraki Prefecture Oarai Aquarium boasts the highest number of shark species in Japan, featuring about 580 species and 68,000 marine creatures on display in this vast aquarium. One of the highlights is the "Dolphin and Sea Lion Ocean Live," where you can enjoy the humorous performances of sea lions and the dynamic acts of dolphins. In the "Ocean of Encounters large tank," sardines move elegantly in schools, while the "Eternal Ocean Zone" showcases impressive sharks, and the "Mysterious Ocean Zone" features jellyfish drifting in a fantastical manner. A must-see is the "Jellyfish 365," which was introduced during the renewal in December 2020, offering a mesmerizing spectacle that represents the four seasons through light and sound. Also, don't miss the limited night events like "Ocean Night Live" and the "VR Shark Tank."
