Enoshima Aquarium

If using public transportation, it's a 3-minute walk from Katase-Enoshima Station on the Odakyu Enoshima Line, a 10-minute walk from Enoshima Station on the Enoden Line, and a 10-minute walk from Shonan-Enoshima Station on the Shonan Monorail. If coming by car, there is no dedicated parking lot, so please use the nearby paid parking lots. The closest parking lot is the "Katase Kaigan Underground Parking Lot", and you can arrive at the new Enoshima Aquarium right after coming up from the underground elevator. It's indoors, so it's safe even on rainy days, but it's often full during holidays and long weekends, so we recommend checking in advance.

The basic admission fee is 2,500 yen for adults, 1,700 yen for high school students, 1,200 yen for elementary and junior high school students, and 800 yen for children over 3 years old. The annual passport, which allows unlimited entry for one year for the price of two regular admissions, is very popular among locals! There are many great benefits, such as a 100 yen discount on soft serve ice cream and a 5% discount on souvenirs at the cafe inside the aquarium, as well as great deals at nearby restaurants. Don't miss out on the discounts available with various railway company tickets, such as the "Enoden One-day Ticket Noriorikun" sold at each Enoden station and the "One-day Free Pass" sold at each Shonan Monorail station, which entitle you to a 10% discount on admission.

The time it takes to tour the building varies depending on what you want to see, but if you want to see the dolphin show, the Sagami Bay large aquarium, and the penguin show, plan to spend about 1.5 to 2 hours. If you participate in a workshop at Nagisa's experiential learning center or take a break at the cafe, your stay may be extended even further. Since many people plan to visit Enoshima besides the aquarium, it is recommended that you check the schedule of the dolphin show and plan ahead to see the areas you want to visit.
