2026 Kitasato Aquarium Lab (Kitasato University School of Marine Biosciences) Full-Day Course

The Kitasato Aquarium Lab (北里アクアリウムラボ), located on the campus of the Kitasato University School of Marine Biosciences, is a mini aquarium planned and run by students. It is open 10:00-16:00 on weekends, national holidays, and university-designated commemorative days, and admission is free. The exhibits, unique to a working research site, come with thoughtful explanations, making it an irresistible space for fish-loving children. In the morning, enjoy greenery and animal encounters at the adjacent Kanagawa Prefectural Sagamihara Park (県立相模原公園) and Sagamihara Asamizo Park (相模原麻溝公園), and in the afternoon take your time with aquatic creatures at the lab — a learning-focused day out in Sagamihara. The lab is closed during the school's summer and winter breaks, so check the official website for open days before you go.
