Umitamago Aquarium
# 4   of 4 most visited
sights in Beppu
access  -  admission  -  ratings  -  links

Umitamago is an attractive aquarium just outside of Beppu. Also known as "Oita Marine Palace", the aquarium recently underwent renovation works to be reopened as "Umitamago" in 2004.

Umitamago is a nicely done aquarium with interesting architecture and some displays that make you feel like being in a modern art museum rather than an aquarium. Animals living in Umitamago include seals, otters, dolphins, penguins and various fish.

A visit to Umitamago Aquarium is best combined with a visit to the nearby Takasakiyama Monkey Park.

Any Questions? Ask them in our question forum.

How to get there
Umitamago Aquarium can be reached in a 10 minute bus ride from central Beppu (Beppu Station or Beppu Kitahama). Get off at "Takasakiyama" bus stop.

The "Monkey Marine Ticket" for 2200 yen consists of a round trip from Beppu to the Umitamago Aquarium and admission to the aquarium and nearby Takasakiyama Monkey Park.
