About this experience

On this land, the first aquarium was born. Rainwater falling between the Tamba Mountains and the Ashiu Primeval Forest turns into clear springs, then streams, soon converging into great rivers that ultimately flow into the sea. The interconnected ecosystem from source to ocean, along with diverse symbiotic life forms, is recreated within the aquarium. Moreover, Kyoto Aquarium is not just about exhibits—it regularly hosts hands-on learning activities like "Close Encounters" and guide sessions led by caretakers. The aquarium aims to become a comprehensive edutainment facility where Kyoto's children can connect with water and its diverse inhabitants. It also reduces energy consumption through solar power and supports breeding programs for Kyoto's rare species. As a flagship facility in an eco-model city, it is committed to nature conservation.

What to expect

Kyoto Aquarium takes visitors on a journey through the natural water cycle, from mountain springs to rivers and the sea. You can explore exhibits that recreate these interconnected ecosystems and discover a wide variety of aquatic life.

The experience also includes interactive learning activities such as “Close Encounters” and caretaker-led sessions, allowing visitors to engage more closely with marine animals and understand their environment in a meaningful way.
