Shark exhibit that boasts the largest number of species kept in Japan ~Moonlight Shark~
In the new "NIGHT AQUAWORLD," you can enjoy the mysterious shadows and powerful appearance of the sharks, which are different from the daytime exhibits, using spot lighting inspired by moonlight.Please take a look at our aquarium, which is filled with a new charm of sharks that can only be expressed by our museum, which has a long history of breeding and researching a wide variety of sharks.
Members of the cat shark family and whitetip sharks are nocturnal sharks that often hide and rest on rocky reefs during the day.In the new "NIGHT AQUAWORLD," keepers feed the nocturnal sharks, and you can also see the sharks swimming actively, which is different from what they do during the day.
“Large Aquarium of the Sea of Encounters” exhibiting 80 living creatures of approximately 25,000 species ~Sea life healing~
The ``Large Sea of Encounter Tank,'' which recreates the rich ocean off the coast of Ibaraki where the Oyashio Current and the Kuroshio Current meet, exhibits about 20,000 types of creatures, including about 80 sardines.
In the new ``NIGHT AQUAWORLD,'' the entire aquarium is illuminated with dark and dark blue lighting that evokes the image of a calm night sea.At night in the aquarium, the sardines huddle tightly together to protect themselves, making the shape of the swarm distinct and moving like the Milky Way floating in the night sky.
Star rays and star sharks, whose white spots on their backs look like stars, swim gracefully, creating a fantastical world that resembles a planetarium. Spend some special time with the living creatures in a space with warm-colored lighting and chairs, with background music in the background.
New Ocean Night Live ~MEETS the BEATS~
``Ocean Night Live,'' which is only available at night, is a program in which dolphins and sea lions create a fantastic space with lights, music, and images.
The new Ocean Night Live is based on the theme of "An encounter between living creatures, music, and customers," with dolphins performing their specialty jumps and sea lions thrilling the venue with their rhythmic performances, with animations playing light music in the background. .The audience's clapping will bring the venue together, and you can enjoy a special and exciting time with the animals.
