Himeji City Aquarium is a community-based aquarium that mainly exhibits creatures from the Seto Inland Sea. It is a recommended spot for families with small children, as it has exhibits that recreate familiar nature and allows visitors to interact with the creatures.
Himeji City Aquarium is located in Tegarayama Central Park and features unique exhibits rooted in the local area. Unlike typical large-scale aquariums, it mainly introduces creatures from the Seto Inland Sea and the surrounding Satoyama, allowing visitors to carefully observe the ecology of creatures living in the natural environment close to home. In particular, not only fish that live in the sea, but also amphibians and reptiles are exhibited, allowing visitors to learn about the diverse ecosystems of land and water.

In addition, the touch pool allows visitors to touch sea creatures such as starfish and sea cucumbers directly, making it very popular with children.

The aquarium also places great emphasis on educational outreach activities, and regularly holds experience programs and workshops. Events that allow visitors to experience the backstage of the aquarium, such as feeding the creatures and backstage tours, are valuable learning opportunities.

[Useful concerns]
Himeji City Aquarium is smaller in scale than other large-scale aquariums. If you visit expecting a spectacular dolphin show or a huge whale shark exhibit, you may feel disappointed. You can enjoy the museum more by understanding its community-based exhibition concept. Also, it may get crowded during popular events and special exhibitions, so we recommend checking the official website for information and crowding conditions in advance.
