Kamogawa Sea World is a large-scale aquarium and marine park located on the Pacific coast of the Boso Peninsula. It is the only facility in Japan to house orcas and regularly hosts high-profile orca performances. The park is divided into multiple zones, including the Rocky Stadium for dolphin shows and the Marine Theater for beluga whale displays. It functions as an educational facility focusing on the ecology of marine mammals, featuring large-scale tanks designed to replicate natural environments. The park integrates live performance programming with extensive exhibition halls showcasing local and exotic aquatic species.

Bring a raincoat or poncho if sitting in the front rows of the orca performance, as splashing is significant.
Check the performance schedule immediately upon entry, as show times determine the flow of the entire day.
Visit the underwater viewing galleries during the shows to see the animals from a different perspective with fewer crowds.
Do not wait until mid-day to plan your route, as performance schedules are sequential and require coordination to see all main displays.
Occasional irregular closures occur for maintenance; check official calendar for specific dates, typically on Wednesdays during the winter months.
Avoid splashing water toward the animals and refrain from using flash photography during indoor exhibits to protect sensitive marine life.
