Activity
Let's go and meet the sea creatures of Kagoshima!
Visitors can enjoy 30,000 marine creatures of about 500 species living in the sea around Kagoshima in a variety of tanks.
The largest tank in the museum, the stunning Kuroshio (Black Current) Sea!
Here, whale sharks, skipjack, tuna, and other fish that migrate within the currents of the Kuroshio Current, create a captivating exhibit as they swim, showcasing their strength and grace.
Immerse yourself in an extraordinary underwater world as though you've dived into the depths of the sea!
At Kagoshima no Shinkai, you can meet creatures that live in the deep sea of Kagoshima. It is a very mysterious space.
Enjoy learning through a wide variety of events and hands-on classes!
In addition to daily events such as "Dolphin Hour" or "Seal Hour," there are also numerous hands-on lectures and limited-time-only events.
Find the QR code and get around the museum in a more enjoyable way!
