Kinosaki Marine World is more than just a place to see marine creatures!

Here, you can feel excitement that transcends an aquarium through experiences that you can enjoy with all your senses.

You can watch the dynamic swimming shows by the dolphins and sea lions with popcorn and drink in hand, as if you’re in a movie theater. There’s also an area where you can learn about the fascinating ecology and secrets of these creatures as you listen to audio guides created by their keepers.

The park includes plenty of exciting experiences for adults and children alike—for example, there’s the “fish dance,” which enables you to watch the surprising and previously unknown behavior of the marine creatures from up close, and the “rock world” where you can directly touch starfish and sea urchins.

Once you get hungry from having so much fun, head to a cafe or restaurant inside the facility. Here, you can savor gourmet foods that you can only taste here, including soft serve ice cream made with salt from Takeno Beach and juicy hamburgers made from 100% Tajima Cattle meat.

After a full day of fun, relax and sooth the tiredness of your travels in the park’s attached hotel, Hotel Kinparo. Staying here grants you the privilege of re-entering Kinosaki Marine World multiple times during your stay.

“What could be more than an aquarium?” The answer lies in lots of excitement and discoveries. Why not visit and make your own unique, special memories?
