Things to do in Chitose Salmon Aquarium

I had some time before heading back to the airport, so I booked and visited. I learned a lot about salmon and river fish and was very satisfied! There were fish-catching and petting areas, so small children would probably enjoy it too. The large tanks were also very beautiful!

The aquarium is within a 15-minute drive from Chitose Airport. Although the aquarium is not big, it has a lot of content. It takes about 1 to 1.5 hours to visit and experience it. It is quite suitable for planning the last attraction before taking the flight. After actually visiting with my family, I would even recommend that you can arrange a special visit. What seems to be very impressive is: 1. The underwater observation area where you can directly watch the appearance of the bottom of the Chitose River outdoors in the museum. Through the glass window, you can see the salmon returning for spawning. 2. The doctor fish (fish doctor) in the experience area will help you remove the dead skin on your hands (very gentle but itchy), and there is also a sturgeon touch pool. 3. The display shows the ecology of freshwater fish from all over the world, which is quite rich and special (different from the content of the ocean park and aquarium) There is a large free parking space on the side

easy to find counter quite near the pokemon store, do remember to upload the photos of the luggage and hotel booking confirmation that airporter will send

lovely and affordable place to go when reach chitose

the hotel where we stayed is located at chuo ward but is not among the hotels listed on their site.. fortunately, the assigned personnel was kind enough to contact us via email and collect our luggage..

Very efficient service. The customer service reply promptly as well. When we reach our hotel, the luggage tags were readily available and the luggages were picked up on time. We will use this again.

It's actually quite fun, a very novel freshwater fish aquarium that displays not only salmon but also other species like stingrays, chameleons, and carps. A recent activity also includes releasing salmon fry into the river for free. There is a rest stop nearby, selling many local agricultural products, including delicious sashimi, glutinous rice balls, king crab rice balls, a barbecue restaurant, and local farmers growing cheap and delicious strawberries. I highly recommend everyone to go there, as it is fun, educational and fun.

very good experience, get to see salmons and other species. and also wild salmon from the window that showing the river
