GAO Aquarium

It’s worth a visit! GAO Aquarium

Situated on the beautiful Oga Peninsula in Akita, GAO Aquarium can be seen sitting on the very edge of rocky cliffs, with the waves from the Japan Sea crashing against it. The aquarium is about an hour drive from Akita City that allows you to take in the views of the coastline along the way. If you’d like a short day trip with friends, family, or your date, the aquarium offers various marine animals to observe, from the local “hata hata” fish to Californian sea lions. Don’t miss the polar bear and cute penguins!
