About this spot
Wakuwaku Underwater Aquarium Sea Donut in Kamiamakusa City, Kumamoto Prefecture, is a donut-shaped aquarium floating on the sea, a rarity even across Japan. Built like a ship, it lets you walk through the facility and observe, through windows below the surface, the fish living in the sea of Amakusa just as they are, which is its greatest feature. The exhibits are organized around the theme of the world's oceans, and you can meet a wide variety of creatures, from colorful tropical fish to local Amakusa fish. Especially popular is the chance to interact with friendly dolphins. The programs, in which you can observe dolphins up close or feed them directly, are sure to captivate both children and adults. The tourism complexes "Resora Terrace Amakusa" and "Mio Camino Amakusa" are next door, so you can enjoy shopping and dining at the same time. Why not spend a relaxing moment with family or friends, feeling the beautiful sea and sea breeze of Amakusa?
