World's Largest Number of Jellyfish at Kamo Aquarium
A very popular Jellyfish Aquarium
Boasting the world's largest number of jellyfish exhibits (over 60 types), the "Jellynarium" exhibition space provides a fascinating atmosphere in which various jellyfish drift about.
A lot of fun can be had as well, such as "fin-footed time," which explains the characteristics and differences of jellyfish bodies, and bird feeding. For a limited time, you can also visit the backyard, which is not usually open to the public.
The restaurant "Oki Umizuki" serves local seafood from Shonai Beach, including very popular jellyfish dishes.
