It houses the Aqua Museum, one of Japan's largest aquariums, which features over 120,000 marine animals from 700 species.

Beyond marine exhibits, the park hosts the Pleasure Land amusement area with a surf coaster that runs over the ocean surface. The complex also features an interactive laboratory called Umi Farm designed for educational fishing and eating experiences.

Purchase an 'Aqua Resort' pass if you only want to see the marine exhibits, or an 'All-Day Pass' to include the amusement rides.
Check the daily show schedule upon arrival, as dolphin and sea lion performance times vary seasonally.
Wear comfortable, non-slip walking shoes as the island is large and requires significant walking.
Avoid visiting during Japanese national holidays or 'Golden Week,' as wait times for popular exhibits can exceed two hours.
The park remains open year-round, though individual amusement rides may close during high winds or severe weather.
Do not use flash photography near animal enclosures, as it can stress the marine life.
