Aquamarine

Aquamarine Fukushima (アクアマリンふくしま), located in Iwaki City along the beautiful Pacific coast, offers a captivating experience that brings visitors closer to the wonders of marine ecosystems. The aquarium highlights Fukushima’s diverse waters, from tranquil mountain rivers to serene lakes and dynamic coastal shores. A major highlight is the massive triangular tank that simulates the powerful interaction of two ocean currents, the Kuroshio and Oyashio. This display showcases the meeting of these currents and their significant impact on the local marine life, offering a fascinating look into how these forces shape the region's ecosystems.

In addition to its regional exhibits, Aquamarine Fukushima features aquatic life from across the globe.

The aquarium is home to rare and unusual sea creatures, including an interactive pool where visitors can touch starfish. The marine mammal section, with playful seals and majestic walruses, adds an engaging element to the visit. After the aquarium, guests can stroll to the nearby Iwaki Rara Myu seafood market or enjoy panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean from the Iwaki Marine Tower.
