information |
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.
