A giant body seal skillfully climbs steep rocky mountain and shows a handstand on the top. And after that he dives into a pool!
The front line of 2F seats is splash zone, and if you want to watch it more closely, these seats are good for you.

"Sea lions swimming" in the same TUBE tank is also quite exciting.
Sea lions shows various performances in a cylindrical water tank of 12 meters length.
Swims incredibly fast,
smiles lovely at the audience,
or throws a kiss
It is sure that you will be surprised with sea lions ability and intelligence!
These attractions are more fun to watch on basement floor, because it can't be seen well from the above.

In fishing area you can experience even "horse mackerel fishing".
The idea, fishing in an aquarium, is a bit puzzling, but take it easy, once you start you can just enjoy it.
It's popular among adults and children!
The most joyful and cheerful attraction for family.
Admission to this area requires extra fee and fishing rod with feed costs 650 yen. When the string is cut after use, the time is over.
Furthermore, you can eat the horse mackerel which you caught as "Tempura" in this area! Very thoughtful service! :)

There are a lot of attractions in Kinosaki Marine World, but if you do not plan properly and just walk around, you may miss good ones and have to walk for long in vain which make your legs tired.
Here are some tips for efficient route planning in the expansive aquarium park.
Kinosaki Marine World is divided in "roughly 7 areas".
Please get the picture of the map.
This is the Kinosaki Marine World map.

1: Sea Zoo
"Aquarium to feel" with many attractions such as giant salamander, walrus and the deepest water tank in Japan
2: DiVE
An area where you can experience unknown world. You may feel as if you were swallowed up in the sea in Dive Adventure or can touch starfish and urchins in a rocky place where the tide rises and falls.
3: TUBE
Athletic field for sea creatures. Must see sea lions swimming in the TUBE water tank of 12-meter width!
4: Fishing1
Horse mackerel fishing area, where adults and children can spend fun time.
5: Sea Land Stadium
Dynamic show of dolphins, sea lions and penguins area, located in a cove where audience seats and the stage very close.
6: Dolphin Tank
You can touch dolphins more closely than Sea Land.
7: Aqua Palace
Watch sea world movies in Magic aquarium and on powerful Dynamic vision.
Visitors are supposed to follow the areas from number 1 to 7.
However, the show attractions we have introduces take place in each area according to fixed schedule.
This is the"Kinosaki Marine World Attraction Schedule information".
As you may see, various events are carried out in different areas.
If you want to see the attractions as many as possible, you have to make a plan well. But for the first time visitors, it's not easy to imagine in which order you need to make routing plan if you have only the attraction schedule.
Don't worry!
There is a pamphlets and information flyers stand at the entrance behind the ticket counter.
On the right raw "recommended course maps" are available.
On the white pamphlets you can see which routing plan is the most efficient depending on what time you arrive at the aquarium!
It enables you to make a plan such as:
"Watch this at what time"
"And then move there to watch that from what time"
What a thoughtful aquarium....
If you visit for the first time, please take the Kinosaki Marine World course map and make full use of it.
You can also arrange and modify orders according to your priority.
There is no "correct answer" for routing plan as it varies depending on how many people you are or on visiting time.
It's important that you remember the map and the schedule, so that you can take your preferred route as much as you can, being flexible.
As a previous visitor, I would like to recommend "going to the next place as fast and early as possible", which is applicable to any attraction.
If you start moving exactly when an attraction is ending, or a little bit earlier, to the next attraction, you can avoid crowd, get good seats, and stay calm. There are various merits in this way.

Kinosaki Marine World is absolutely highly recommended sightseeing spot for "family", "friends" and "couple".
It is especially ideal for "family".
As there are few places where children can play in day time around Kinosaki hot springs area, experience style of Kinosaki Marine World is a great pleasure for kids for sure.
Access is not bad as it is located 5-10 minutes driving distance from Kinosaki hot springs town.
It is also enjoyable if you are adults or friends.
Plus, in 5 minutes driving (or maybe walking) from Kinosaki Marine World distance there is a famous fish paste shop "Futakata kamaboko".
The steamed fish paste was delicious!
I recommended it!

8, Comments from EnjoyJapan! Editorial dept.
Kinosaki Marine World is absolutely highly recommended sightseeing spot for "family", "friends" and "couple".
It is especially ideal for "family".
As there are few places where children can play in day time around Kinosaki hot springs area, experience style of Kinosaki Marine World is a great pleasure for kids for sure.
Access is not bad as it is located 5-10 minutes driving distance from Kinosaki hot springs town.
It is also enjoyable if you are adults or friends.
Plus, in 5 minutes driving (or maybe walking) from Kinosaki Marine World distance there is a famous fish paste shop "Futakata kamaboko".
The steamed fish paste was delicious!
I recommended it!
It can be an option of souvenirs from Kinosaki!
