Miyajima Aquarium "Miyaji Marine"

The Miyajima Aquarium, located within the Seto Inland Sea National Park, is packed with attractions! Inside the aquarium, you can see the mysterious world of the Seto Inland Sea in 10 different zones. For example, you can see unique exhibits such as oyster rafts used for cultivation in the rich waters of the Seto Inland Sea, and sunamushi, which sits at the top of the food chain in the sea. This is a must-see for those who want to encounter the creatures of the Seto Inland Sea!

At Miyaji Marine, we value interaction with living creatures. In the "Fureai no Iso" zone, you can get up close and personal with the creatures that inhabit the rocky shore and even touch them. We also recommend the "Otter Interaction Time" and "Seal Interaction Time". You can interact with adorable animals and can't help but smile.

At Miyaji Marine, events such as "Seal Live" and "Penguin Meal Time" featuring talented seals are held every day. It's recommended for those who want to be healed by the cute movements of these animals. You can also enjoy a photo session with the seals and penguins. How about taking a two-shot photo with these living creatures as a memory of your visit to the aquarium?

At Miyaji Marine, exhibits are aimed at providing visitors with a "healing" experience. The "Hatsukoi-an" was created with the concept of a "beauty viewing space that brings healing" and features exhibits of living creatures unique to Hiroshima in a space where you can feel the beauty of Japan. Why not enjoy the graceful appearance of these living creatures in a fantastic world?

Miyajima Marine is a participatory and experiential aquarium where you can feel closer to sea creatures. It's a popular aquarium in Hiroshima Prefecture. Admission fees are 1420 yen for general visitors (high school students and above), 710 yen for elementary and junior high school students, 400 yen for toddlers, and free for children under 4 years old. There are events where the keepers answer questions about the creatures, and tanks where you can view the creatures from various angles, so both families and couples can enjoy it.

At Miyaji Marine Kitchen, on clear days, you can enjoy a relaxing meal while gazing at the Seto Inland Sea from the terrace seats. The recommended original menu item, Miyaji Marine Don, uses ingredients unique to Hiroshima such as fried oysters, grilled conger eel, and small dried sardines. In addition, the Octopus Burger, which sandwiches fried octopus, is also voluminous and perfect for satisfying your hunger after having fun.

At the Miyajima Aquarium museum shop, you can purchase original aquarium goods featuring popular animals such as sea otters and small-clawed otters. In addition, there is a wide variety of unique items such as 3D fans, clear files, medals, and straps. Looking at these souvenirs may bring back memories of the adorable creatures and fun scenes at the aquarium.
