Hidden on the shoreline of the Sea of Japan in Yamagata – south of the region's most popular beach, Yunohama is an aquarium with a remarkable story that matches its eerie collection of marine life. .Kamo Aquarium once faced bankruptcy and was forced to make drastic changes. The solution is to fill the aquarium with the world's largest collection of jellyfish. Jellyfish on display in eye-catching tanks are lit so visitors can enjoy the diverse range of colors and features of these creatures. It's a relaxing sight that elevates the beauty of the translucent, magical specimens. Don't be surprised if the aquarium gets a little crowded when you visit. Although relatively isolated, Kamo Aquarium still welcomes more than 200,000 visitors annually.
The world's number one jellyfish aquarium is located on the headland facing the Sea of Japan in Tsuruoka City, Yamagata Prefecture. It displays more than 50 species of jellyfish that have been recorded in the Guinness Book of World Records. The world-class water tank "Jellyfish Dream Theater" with a diameter of 5m is a circular water tank with a capacity of 40 tons, in which about 4,000 jellyfish are floating. There is also a “jellyfish stall” where you can observe jellyfish in their adult stages, and listen to instructions on how to feed the jellyfish.
