Kamo Aquarium

加茂水族館

4.3Est. 60Tsuruoka, Tohoku

Overview

World's leading aquarium for jellyfish species.

Once a failing local aquarium, Kamo reinvented itself as the 'Jellyfish Dream House.' It now holds the Guinness World Record for the most jellyfish species on display. The centerpiece is a 5-meter diameter 'Jellyfish Dream Theater' where thousands of moon jellies drift in a circular tank. It’s a hypnotic, artistic experience that feels more like a light show than a zoo.
