Whale shark aquarium where you can see whale sharks in Japan

There are four aquariums in Japan.

The Notojima Aquarium introduced in this article.

Churaumi Aquarium in Okinawa Prefecture.

Ioworld Kagoshima Aquarium in Kagoshima Prefecture.

Kaiyukan in Osaka Prefecture.

There used to be an aquarium that exhibited in the Kanto area.

It seems that he was at Hakkeijima Sea Paradise in Yokohama, but unfortunately he passed away.

If you live in Kanto or Tohoku area, it is a bit far, but please visit there.

You will be healed by seeing its size and elegance.

You will be impressed by the whale sharks and the size of the tank.

Even if you are not interested in sharks, you should go just to see the size of the tank.
