All Reviews of Aqua World Ibaraki Oarai Aquarium

If you visit Aqua World Oarai Aquarium, you absolutely have to see the 'IWASHI LIFE' sardine show. About 15,000 sardines move dynamically in sync with lights and music—it's like watching one giant living creature. The show started in 2021 for the aquarium's 20th anniversary, and it features sardines, which are a big catch in Ibaraki Prefecture. Even if you think sardines are kind of weak, this energetic performance will totally change your mind. The show happens three times a day at the big tank on the second floor, but check the official website for the schedule since it can change.

Even though there were a lot of people inside, the place is so spacious that you don't have to worry about it feeling crowded.

There are so many kinds of fish, and the dolphin and sea lion shows are really impressive.
