The aquarium features several aquatic species and is part of the Port of Nagoya Garden Pier.
Dolphins, one of the most intelligent creatures on Earth, showcase their talents in a 60-meter-long pool. Watch them perform tricks and swim at incredible speeds, and you may even get a chance to touch them too! Also, get to witness orcas and beluga whales practice their skills, with instructions from their trainers.
At feeding times, observe the fascinating eating habits of penguins, migratory fish, and sea turtles. Get to see African penguins being handfed by their caretakers. Another enthralling sight is the synchronized sardine dance while they seek a piece of food together. The brilliant colors and sheen make a mesmerizing display. On weekends and holidays, examine the experimental devices trainers use to help Belugas “catch” their prey.
At each exhibit, absorb information on the sea creatures in their element. Watch them interact and communicate with each other or listen to the diver’s instructions as he films the fish with his underwater camera.
With the combo ticket variant, you can also revel in the views of the Observation Deck, 53 meters off the ground. Following this, learn about the ports, ships, and international trade routes at the Maritime Museum. You can end your day trip at the Antarctic Fuji ship, Japan’s first authentic icebreaker. Hop aboard the ship and examine its interiors, while discovering tales of its rich history in the field of research.
