Kitanodaichi Aquarium

Japan's largest Ito (Hucho perryi) exhibit and Japan's first waterfall basin tank

A mountain aquarium adjacent to a roadside station where you can experience the world of Hokkaido's freshwater fish through Japan's first and largest exhibits.
In Japan's first tank viewing a waterfall basin from below, you can closely observe fish swimming powerfully against the strong current. Looking up from the clear water, you clearly see the surface bubbling white and fish vigorously moving their tail fins to avoid being swept away. River murmurs echo throughout the facility, and the refreshing scent of water drifts. In winter, tanks where the water surface freezes like a natural river appear, spreading a sight you can never see elsewhere—fish swimming quietly under ice.
The Ito exhibit tank boasts Japan's largest scale, with the overwhelming sight of large individuals over 1 meter swimming leisurely. No other facility allows such close observation of the powerful appearance of Ito, the great fish of the north also called a phantom fish. In the exhibition space with cool air drifting, you can thoroughly learn about fish's natural behavior and ecology, deeply understanding the rich freshwater world of Hokkaido.
