Kinosaki Marine World城崎マリンワールド

An aquarium near Kinosaki Onsen, operated by Hiyoriyama Kanko. With the concept of being "more than an aquarium," it offers programs that go beyond the usual, such as dolphin and sea lion shows, Steller sea lion diving, penguin walks, horse mackerel fishing, and backyard tours. Making the most of its coastal location, it also features a route that lets you walk along the water's edge within the grounds.

Access
About 10 minutes by Zentan Bus from JR Kinosaki-Onsen Station; get off at the Hiyoriyama (Marine World) bus stop.
