Description
Set on the uninhabited island of Awashima with views across to Mount Fuji, the park combines marine exhibits with its open coastal setting. The grounds feature touch tanks with sea urchins and starfish alongside keeper-led fish talks and displays of varied marine life. While the peaceful island backdrop and quick boat crossing draw praise, visitor impressions of the aquarium itself are mixed, with several noting dated facilities and aging enclosures.
