Shimoda Aquarium
Dolphins leap over your head! Get closer to dolphins than anywhere else!
Shimoda Aquarium is a unique aquarium floating on the sea. Within its grounds, there is the “Aqua Dome Perry,” home to 10,000 creatures of 50 species including fish, invertebrates, and seaweed, themed around recreating the Izu sea; the “Marine Stage” where shows are held in an inlet formed by natural scenery; the “Marine Stadium,” boasting a 500-ton volume pool with all glass sides; the “Sea Life Palace,” showcasing 1,500 creatures of 250 diverse species inhabiting the Izu sea; the “Penguin Pool” where you can view penguins from all 360 degrees; the “Seal House,” where relaxed spotted seals live; and the “Crabrium,” where you can see gently floating jellyfish. You can also interact with dolphins. There are simple activities like directly feeding them, signaling for handshakes or jumps, as well as full-fledged interactions where you wear a wetsuit and actually enter the sea to play with them. Shimoda Aquarium is approximately 5 minutes by taxi from Izukyu Line “Shimoda Station”. Asoview is currently selling discounted coupons for Shimoda Aquarium.
