Chitose Salmon Aquarium
An Aquarium Featuring Japan’s First Underwater Observation Zone
An interactive freshwater aquarium located along the Chitose River. Visitors can observe salmon migration and the ecology of freshwater fish.
Chitose Salmon Aquarium is a freshwater aquarium located along the Chitose River in the Hanazono area of Chitose City. The facility displays about 10,000 aquatic creatures, mainly freshwater fish from around the world. Large tanks allow visitors to observe a variety of aquatic life, including white sturgeon and ito, one of Japan's largest freshwater fish species.
Its main feature, Japan's first "Underwater Observation Zone," allows visitors to directly observe the riverbed of the Chitose River through glass. Visitors can observe river life changing with the seasons up close, such as salmon fry in spring, dace and cherry salmon in summer, and salmon migrating upstream to spawn from autumn through winter.
The facility also features a touch pool where visitors can touch baby sturgeon, as well as a "doctor fish" experience corner. Through various exhibits and hands-on activities, visitors can comprehensively learn about the local natural environment and the ecology of aquatic life.
