Noboribetsu Marine Park Nixe is an aquarium located in Noboribetsu Higashi-machi, Noboribetsu City, featuring the impressive white "Nixe Castle" modeled after a Danish medieval castle. Inside the castle, about 400 species of marine life are displayed, and upon passing through the entrance, a giant 8-meter-high tower tank appears before you. In the tank imagining southern coral reefs, colorful tropical fish swim gracefully, their figures dancing in the blue water creating a fantastical scene. Standing in front of the tank, you can faintly hear the sound of fish swimming through the glass, and the swaying water creates patterns of light reflected on the walls.

In the Aqua Tunnel inside the facility, large schools of sardines and horse mackerel circle overhead in silver brilliance, giving you the sensation of walking underwater. In Hokkaido's largest jellyfish tank, transparent-bodied jellyfish drift leisurely, illuminated by soft lighting to create a fantastical sight. The year-round penguin parade allows you to observe penguins waddling adorably up close, with the sound of their footsteps and calls echoing around. At the hands-on corner, you can directly touch marine creatures, experiencing the sensation of cold seawater and the smooth texture of the creatures, making this an aquarium enjoyable for both children and adults.
