Susami Chouritsu Ebitokanino Suizokukanすさみ町立エビとカニの水族館

An aquarium run by the town of Susami, Wakayama Prefecture, housed in the reused gymnasium of the former Esumi Junior High School, which had closed. With a concept rare in Japan, a specialist aquarium devoted to shrimp and crabs, it exhibits many kinds of crustaceans. It also engages in community-based activities such as a traveling aquarium, and regularly holds seasonal special exhibits such as a frog exhibit during the rainy season and the summer "Nyoro-Nyoro Exhibit."
