Watching all the fish swimming freely in the big aquarium was so soothing. It really lifted my mood.

The Fuji Spring Water Aquarium, located on the grounds of Sakana Park, specializes in fresh-water fish. Here you’ll find a large variety of fresh-water fish, mostly caught in the lakes and marshes around Yamanashi Prefecture.
The center aquarium inside features a double-layered tank, which allows two tanks of both large and small fish to appear against each other at the same time.
The aquarium is also home to a large-scale glass window that shows the lake just outside, with views into a world of 1-m long sturgeon and some 20 other varieties of 300 fish as they swim by. On the opposite side of the lake sits a backdrop of forest trees, making it look as if you’re swimming through an underwater world inside a forest.
In early summer, schools of 8,000+ ayu (Japanese Sweetfish) are another must-see.
