Aquas Aquarium

One of the largest aquariums in the San'in region, Aquas spreads across three floors with over 400 marine species displayed in environments ranging from local Sea of Japan habitats to tropical coral reefs. The star attractions are the beluga whales, who perform their famous "bubble ring" trick, blowing perfect rings of air underwater. There's also a walk-through shark tunnel, penguin feeding sessions, and touch pools for children. The aquarium sits right on the coast near Hamada, and the adjacent beach makes it easy to pair with a seaside stroll.
