Kyoto Aquarium
A large inland aquarium that opened in Umekoji Park near Kyoto Station in March 2012. Its 10 areas house approximately 15,000 animals representing around 250 species, including Japanese giant salamanders from the Kamo River, a nationally designated Special Natural Monument, as well as African penguins, spotted seals, fish, and jellyfish.
The dolphin show was fantastic, and the staff put in a lot of effort. The aquarium's jellyfish displays are a real highlight—so beautiful and relaxing.
