Including the aforementioned Kyoto river replica, there are 12 of these differently themed areas. Each of them is dedicated to a species of aquatic creatures or a natural environment.
I highly recommend coming here, especially if you’re travelling with your family. Spending the day at Kyoto Aquarium and then taking a stroll through Umekoji Park is a very relaxing and fun activity.
You will find many likeminded people here, as this place is a popular place for locals to visit with their children.
Kyoto Aquarium, just like Kyoto Station, stands a bit in contrast to the overall city image of traditional Japan (日本) because of their modern design.
That itself blesses the aquarium with a charm which will make you want to visit!
The one in Osaka is a lot bigger and houses more exotic creatures like a whale shark, which is worth a visit on its own!
If you’re into aquariums or ocean life, I suggest checking out both of them!
