Kamo Aquarium

Kamo Aquarium

Located in Tsuruoka City, Yamagata Prefecture, "Kamo Aquarium" is an impressive aquarium housed in a modern white-walled building along the Sea of Japan. This aquarium boasts the world's largest jellyfish exhibition, showcasing over 60 species of jellyfish at all times. In particular, the 5-meter diameter tank called the "Jellyfish Dream Theater" features around 10,000 moon jellyfish gracefully drifting, creating a fantastical scene that feels like stepping into another world.

The seal and sea lion commentary program "Finned Friends Time" and the rare northern fur seal exhibition are also very popular. Especially during the winter months, there is a commemorative photography event with sea lions and seals called "Finned Friends Photo."

Additionally, the in-house restaurant "Gyosho Dining Okikaidori" offers dishes made with fresh seafood from Shonai Beach, as well as unique jellyfish-themed menu items like jellyfish ramen and jellyfish ice cream. In the shop "Jellyfish Light," visitors can purchase original jellyfish goods and sweets from Kamo Aquarium, providing joy to all who visit.
