Preview Takeshima's Coral Sea Through Tank Displays
About this spot
An interactive learning-based museum located on Takeshima, Tokushima Prefecture's southernmost island, dedicated to the coral sea. The waters surrounding Takeshima are part of a marine park within the Muroto-Anan Coast Quasi-National Park, a precious area where coral colonies such as branching corals thrive despite being in temperate waters. The museum's tank displays allow you to observe the colorful fish inhabiting the coral sea up close—the perfect preview before boarding. With the submarine boat departing from the adjacent pier, the unique appeal of this facility is learning first and then exploring the real sea. It's also popular with children looking for research material for school projects.
Tips
From Michi no Eki Shishikui Onsen to Takeshima is about 3 km away, a 5-minute drive. The museum interior is climate-controlled, making it a reliable refuge from summer heat or rain. Checking the Blue Marin boarding time first and then viewing the exhibits is more efficient.
Best time to visit
Approximately 1 hour 30 minutes. Counting back from the boarding time and viewing the exhibits carefully during the wait is recommended.
