Standing along the beautiful Tatsukushi Coast of Tosashimizu City, the "Kochi Prefectural Ashizuri Aquarium SATOUMI" is a cutting-edge experiential ecology aquarium where you can funly and deeply learn about the ecosystems of the fronting Pacific Ocean and Kuroshio Current utilizing real exhibitions and advanced digital tech. The facility beautifully replicates the underwater world of "Tatsukushi Bay," allowing visitors to closely observe a giant colony of colorfully brilliant shikoro corals—boasting one of the largest scales in Japan, alongside colorful tropical fish living in Ashizuri and sea turtles swimming leisurely. It functions not just as an indoor viewing facility but also as an approach connected directly to outdoor activities inside the real sea and rocky coasts before your eyes, receiving highly top-tier support from intellectually curious international nature travelers and family groups.
