This modern white-walled building by the sea is the world's largest jellyfish aquarium. Kamo Aquarium is the only aquarium in the world that exhibits approximately 80 species of jellyfish at any given time. The cool, transparent form of the jellyfish and their shimmering appearance in the water are like a kind of art. The deep blue tank that glows faintly in the darkness and the jellyfish that turn purple and green make visitors feel as if they have wandered into another world.

The jellyfish exhibition room “Kuranetarium” is filled with many rare jellyfish. The “Jellyfish Dream Theater,” a circular water tank 5 meters in diameter, is especially impressive with 10,000 floating water jellyfish! The “Jellyfish Story” program, which is held every hour, is also a must-see.

Be sure to take the “Backyard Tour (fee required)” to see behind the scenes of the jellyfish exhibit.

The “Fin Feeding Time” program, a commentary program on sea lions and seals, and the “Feeding the Seals” experience (fee required) held after the “Fin Feeding Time” are also popular.

Since the aquarium is small but popular, visitors may be asked to refrain from taking pictures of jellyfish during busy times. To avoid crowds, you may want to visit early in the morning, just before the aquarium closes, or between programs.

The museum's restaurants offer a variety of jellyfish dishes, such as jellyfish ramen noodles with chewy jellyfish kneaded into the noodles and jellyfish ice cream with the crunchy texture of jellyfish as an accent. Souvenirs such as jellyfish snacks are sure to be the talk of the town.
