“Life Connected by Water”

“Life Connected by Water”

Opened in March 2012, the Kyoto Aquarium is Japan’s first large-scale inland aquarium.
The aquarium consists of nin zones that recreate the natural habitat of the sea animals. In which, the most popular zone is where one of the world’s largest amphibians and national treasure, the giant salamander, can be seen.
In addition, the museum regularly holds workshops and other hands-on programs that allow visitors to play and learn.
