    Finally have the chance to visit this place. They have the largest collection of Jellyfish in the world and they are being shown in great fashion. However, the other exhibitions (e.g., fish) are lacking. I still give it a 5 star because people do come here for the Jellyfishes.

    Really cool aquarium perched on the side of the coastal road, overlooking the Sea of Japan. I have never seen so many types of jellyfish, especially in one aquarium. They are amazing and beautiful creatures. There are also seals. Educational- great for children (and adults). * It can get busy - popular place - so usually buy tickets in advance.

    A rather small aquarium specializing in mostly jellyfishes. Apparently they have the most number of jellyfish species. Would recommend for young children too

    amazing experience!! getting to see all the sea creatures and the performances of the seals and sea lions was unreal!! the giant jellyfish display was the icing on the cake!!

    An impressive exhibit of jellyfish and other animals. It's definitely worth a visit if you're in the area and happen to enjoy the mesmerising nature of these creatures.

  • 5/5 Martin F. 7 months ago on Google • 28 reviews
    I was very surprised how many kinds of kurage (jelly fish) exists. They say this aquapark has the most kinds of kurage in the world. Very nice place. 👍

    A must visit place with your family when driving along the coast of Japan sea. Educational and entertaining. The creatures look well taken care off.

    (Translated by Google) Sakana-kun's painting was amazingly good 😄 I was fascinated by the elegance of the fantastic jellyfish 😆 (Original) さかな君の絵がびっくりするくらい上手かった😄幻想的なクラゲの優雅さに魅了させられました😆

    クラゲの展示で有名になった水族館。 クラゲの展示はさすが、というところです。 クラゲだけでなく、他の動物ももちろんいます。 クラゲアイス、クラゲラーメンなど食べることもできます笑 小規模な水族館で、わりとすぐ見終わります。

  • 5/5 阿部年秀 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) There were many kinds and there were small cute jellyfish, and it was healed. The largest aquarium in this aquarium was like the "Milky Way" at the showroom (Original) 種類が多く、小さな可愛らしいクラゲもいて、癒やされました この水族館で一番大きな水槽は見せ場で"天の川"のようでした

  • 5/5 Pablo M. 6 months ago on Google
    The jellyfish aquariums are stunning. There a several commentaries a day providing detailed explanations and visual demonstrations of the jellyfish life cycle.

  • 5/5 あきんちゅ 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) You can enjoy spending time with your family and friends as well as couples. It's amazing to see the growth process of jellyfish, and it looks good for a social tour of the school! (Original) カップルはもちろんの事、ご家族やご友人と楽しく過ごせます。クラゲの成長過程が見れるのはすごいですね、学校の社会見学にも良さそうです!

  • 5/5 鈴木かずと 3 years ago on Google
    素晴らしい水族館でした 以前修学旅行で以前の水族館に行ってたんですが全然違いました クラゲに注目しここまでの水族館にするのは大変だったと思いますが今では全国的に注目され有名になったのは嬉しい限りです

  • 4/5 やくわたく 3 years ago on Google
    クラゲ展示数は日本一!現在ショーは中止ですが、間近でアザラシなど見れます。

  • 3/5 飛馬人show 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) I visited at 10 o'clock on Saturday. I entered the building without waiting. This was the second time. It was a pity that there were fewer types of clubs. There was a catch phrase for the evolving aquarium, but please do your best not to become a degenerating aquarium. (Original) 土曜日の10時に訪れました。待ちもなく入館出きました。今回2回目でした。クラブの種類が少なくなった感あったのは、残念だった。進化する水族館のキャッチコピーが書いてあったが、退化する水族館にならないよう頑張って下さい。

  • 5/5 鈴木美紀 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) It is an aquarium that is getting more and more interesting to know that the process of a jellyfish being born, becoming a baby, and growing up is exhibited, and that various jellyfish can be seen in the local Yamagata. I never get tired of watching it (Original) クラゲが生まれて赤ちゃんになり、成長する過程が展示してあったり、いろんなクラゲが地元 山形でも見られることを知りどんどん興味が沸いてくる水族館です。いつまで見てても飽きない位

  • 4/5 古内利光 3 years ago on Google
    見学しがいがあります。 水槽にいるから見えますが、海からどうやって採ってくるんだろ。

  • 5/5 pirotara 3 years ago on Google
    クラゲがたくさんいる水族館です。 コロナでショーは全てやっていませんでしたが、充分楽しめました。

  • 4/5 本間朝子 3 years ago on Google
    規模としては小さいですが、クラゲの展示場は見応えがありました。館内の食事処もまぁまぁお手頃価格で今はサワラが時期のようで油がのった身を生、炙りのお刺身でいただきましたが、とても美味しかったです。クラゲラーメンもあり、主人が味噌味を食べましたが、味は好みがあるので。

  • 5/5 Reiska K. 2 years ago on Google
    It's nice since there are many kinds of jellyfish compared to aquarium I've visited in Japan. They are so pretty. I enjoyed my visit a lot!

  • 5/5 Takamitsu M. 2 years ago on Google
    Whoever loves jellyfish should visit this amazing aquarium.

  • 4/5 A. S. Christian T. 4 years ago on Google
    Very educational and entertaining. It fully disserves your visit

    (Translated by Google) Although it is compact, it is a good building where you can learn all about Shonaihama. I was surprised that the seal cub here was also in Mitsu Sea Paradise. There are few toilets and there are no kids chairs. I'm sorry to occupy a multipurpose restroom by changing diapers during congestion. Northern elephant seals are friendly. The souvenir shop is full of unique items! Speaking of greed, I would like you to handle books that are academically known. I would like to have a simple sea animal hair key chain that adults can carry. (Original) コンパクトながらくらげの全て、庄内浜も学べる良い館です。ここのアザラシの子が三津シーパラダイスにも居て驚きました。トイレは数が少なめ&キッズチェアが無いです。 混雑中はオムツ換えで多目的トイレを専有するのが申し訳ない。キタゾウアザラシが人懐っこい。 おみやげ屋さんはここならではのものが充実! 欲を言えば学術的にくらげを知れる本など扱って欲しい。 海獣の毛のキーホルダーは大人が持てるようなシンプルなのがあったら欲しいです。

  • 3/5 hugh m. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice regional aquarium. Definitely been to better in Japan. The jellyfish were pretty cool but other than that the tanks were fairly small. Would not ring me in making a special trip but if you find yourself with extra time and you're in the area it's worth a visit for the jellyfish dream theater alone.

  • 5/5 Alex L. 2 years ago on Google
    A must-visit place in Tsuruoka! This is the largest collection of living jellyfish in the world and all the exhibitions are full of beautiful fish! Resturant is delicious too and led by a top chef!

  • 5/5 Nishant A. 3 years ago on Google
    Very unique aquarium in the beautiful Shonai region. Home to Japan's largest collection of jellyfish. They have regular shows (Japanese only), which explain the different characteristics, growth cycles and feeding habits of jellyfish. At the Jellyfish Dream Theater, you can gaze at jellyfish in a large circular tank as live piano music plays in the background.

  • 4/5 Raleigh 1 year ago on Google
    More jellyfish than you can shake a stick at. Maybe 30 or 40 different species. The "jellyfish dream theater" is truly a sight to behold - a maybe 4 or 5 meter giant tank with a massive swarm. Minus a star because I felt bad for the octopus, turtles, and sea lions whose enclosures looked waaaay too small and unenriched.

  • 5/5 Cindy I. 1 year ago on Google
    Good exhibition. They offers classes to talk about jelly fish breeding, join if you can.

  • 5/5 Krishna K. 9 months ago on Google
    One of a kind aquarium. Lots of types of jellyfish, there is also display above how they breed Jellyfish in captivity. Very photogenic.

  • 4/5 Shelly M. 6 years ago on Google
    It was a wonderful aquarium. Also it had a fun seal and sea lion show. The exhibits of jellyfish we're amazing! I never knew there were so many species of jellyfish. The shows and most information are in Japanese but it was still incredible. FYI my friend and I were coming from the airport nearby and the taxi ride to and from cost ¥4000 each time. There is a bus if you have more time but we needed to catch a flight.

    (Translated by Google) I went to Tsuruoka City Kamo Aquarium on Sunday However, although it is okay to go inside, it will take time to get in because you have to do a non-contact type temperature measurement near the entrance. Once this is done, you have to write your contact information, address, etc. on a piece of paper and put it in the ballot box with the pen, which is a bit of a hassle and a lot of work. (Original) 日曜日、鶴岡市立加茂水族館に行って来ました しかし、中に入ったはいいけど、入口付近で非接触型の検温をしたければならないので、入るまでに時間がかかってしまいますね これが済むと、紙に連絡先、住所などを書いて、ペンと一緒に投票箱に入れなければいけないので、少し手間がかかって、大変です

    (Translated by Google) A famous aquarium specializing in jellyfish. Even though it was a weekday from the opening at 9 o'clock, there were many customers. I saw it for about 2 hours. I think it is also attractive that the admission fee is 1000 yen. (Original) クラゲに特化した有名な水族館です。9時の開館から平日にもかかわらず、多くのお客さんでした。2時間ほど見ました。入館料が1000円なのも魅力かと思います。

  • 4/5 Sei A. 3 years ago on Google
    展示の主体がめづらしいクラゲ類で見ていて飽きがきませでした。残念だったのは、連れが何回も訪れているため入場しないで待っていたが水族館入口の隣にグッズ等の売店があったが水族館に入場しない客は利用できないとの事。入口が別なのに⁉️何か納得がきませでした。私も脚が不自由ですが休む場所すらありませんでした。とても公的施設とは思えません。
