The aquarium is very large and well-maintained. The pools are also spacious, allowing the dolphins, beluga whales, and orcas to swim freely. It's a great place for families to visit and explore together.

We had a pleasant evening in this cafe. The girls were friendly and they made the rules clear in a fun engaging way. I also liked the original way of calling for them and their rewarding system with their own currency whenever they did something you liked haha.

Comfortable room, very friendly and helpful staff. Train stations nearby and many shops in the area, a great option if you're in Nagoya. We will definitely return.

Nagoya Aquarium is the largest aquarium in Japan. You can see many shows here, and children love it. You can watch performances by dolphins, killer whales, sea turtles, beluga whales, penguins, etc., as well as sardines. It's very nice. It is a popular attraction for children. You can buy and use it immediately.
