Oita Marine Palace Aquarium “Umitamago”
Umitamago is an aquarium in a superb location overlooking the blue waters of Beppu Bay and the surrounding mountains. Based on the theme of “an aquarium where you can befriend animals,” it has become a popular attraction where visitors can interact closely with marine mammals such as walruses.
The aquarium is clean and comfortable, and it’s easy to get around even with kids and a stroller. The large tank has all kinds of marine life, and the kids were so excited watching them. The biggest surprise for the children was seeing dolphins, walruses, and penguins up close. It felt really interactive.
