Located in Sapporo’s famous Tanukikoji area, AOAO SAPPORO is a modern urban aquarium where nature and city life come together. Enjoy unique animal exhibits, innovative displays, and immersive digital art in a relaxed space where you can explore at your own pace.

Inside the moyuk SAPPORO complex, the aquarium offers an urban gateway to the natural world. Across three zones, visitors can observe fascinating marine life up close, including graceful jellyfish and delicate spotted garden eels.

A highlight is the world-first exhibition system featuring movable hexagonal blocks in the penguin habitat. This unique design lets visitors experience the energetic movements of Northern Rockhopper Penguins as they leap across the rocks and dive into the water from an unprecedented viewpoint.

The aquarium also features immersive digital art, including a life-sized orca appearing to glide through the ocean. With its flexible, route-free layout, guests can explore freely, relax by their favorite tanks, and enjoy the atmosphere at their own pace.

Food and drinks are available throughout the aquarium, with an on-site café serving croissants made with Hokkaido-grown wheat and regional treats. With coworking spaces, power outlets, and Wi-Fi, AOAO SAPPORO is an ideal place to relax and recharge during your Sapporo journey.
