The aquarium’s giant tank, containing some 90 species and 1,500 individual sea creatures, is truly stunning.

    My husband and I went to visit this aquarium while we were in Oita. It is a convenient bus ride out of town, about halfway to Beppu. We arrived just in time to see the show. it was so interesting...

    Oita Saiki-shi Yayoi Kamiogura 898-1
    This aquarium, one of only a very few in the entire country dedicated to freshwater fish, is located inside Roadside Station Yayoi facing National Route 10 a 10-minute drive from the Saiki Interchange on the Higashikyushu Expressway. The aquarium's tanks recreate the environment of the local Bansho River and are occupied by familiar freshwater fish varieties like sweetfish, dark chub, and carp. The aquarium's global tropical fish area is divided into tanks for regions such as South America, Southeast Asia, and Africa, and fish on display include the spectral Amazonian black ghost knifefish. In addition to its standing exhibition, the aquarium also holds special exhibitions.

    外と一体化した水槽が新鮮です。 餌をやる時間だと、全ての魚への餌やりと説明が聴けますよ。1時間位かかります。 小さい水族館ですが、安いし綺麗に管理されてます。

Oita Areas

A trip to Oita is tantamount to a long soak in the Beppu baths. The mountainous, coastal prefecture of Oita is renowned for having more onsen than any other prefecture in Japan, most of which lie in the city of Beppu on the west coast of Kyushu, recognizable by its pungent sulphuric aroma and the clouds of steam that puff up across the hillside. Away from the Beppu hot springs await mountains, waterfalls, and temples, so don’t hesitate to explore Oita a little further.
