Sakata & Kamo Aquarium

Gain insight into how life in Sakata has long revolved around the sea, a fact that will become abundantly clear at the Kamo Aquarium. Like most aquariums, this one presents an enormous variety of colorful marine creatures, most of them indigenous to the local waters. The number of jellyfish is what really sets Kamo Aquarium apart. The world’s largest collection of jellyfish species is on display in the appropriately named Jellyfish Dream House. Being backlit, they look even more otherworldly. Before rice could be exported, it was stored nearby in the Sankyo warehouses. You will browse several of them, which have been converted into shops and a museum.
