Marine World Uminonakamichi
"Marine World Uminonakamichi," which reopened in 2017, is an aquarium themed around the seas of Kyushu. It features over 30,000 marine organisms from 350 species, recreating the aquatic environments of the seven prefectures of Kyushu. Visitors can enjoy various shows such as the diver show in the "Open Sea Large Tank," as well as sea lion and dolphin performances, and the Penguin Hill, making it enjoyable for adults as well. During the summer holidays and on weekends and public holidays in September, the aquarium is open until 21:00, allowing visitors to experience the "Night Aquarium" with dimly lit tanks. Located within the National Uminonakamichi Seaside Park, it is a new type of science museum where guests can learn while having fun with a maritime theme. The building, designed to resemble a white shell, blends harmoniously with the beautiful natural environment surrounding it, creating a pleasant space for visitors. It also incorporates the flora and fauna from the East China Sea, Yellow Sea, Japan Sea, and Sea of Okhotsk. The facility is easily accessible from Hakata Station and Tenjin Subway Station, and it features restaurants and shops. In the park, visitors can purchase cute marine-themed goods and enjoy dining with dolphins.
