The aquarium works through the seas around Kyushu, from the deep sea to an open-ocean tank seven meters deep. On the third floor, the East China Sea, the Pacific, the Sea of Japan and the Seto Inland Sea sit side by side. The first floor keeps finless porpoises, small dolphins that live off northern Kyushu. Outdoors, Kaiju Island lets you see animals from several angles and get close to some. A map for visitors sensitive to light, sound or smell is handed out at the information counter.
