Kobe Municipal Suma Seacoast Aquarium (神戸市立須磨海浜水族園)

Flow of the course

About this spot

A popular aquarium within walking distance of Suma Beach, packed with attractions including dolphin shows and penguin walks. The circular water tank where you can watch fish swimming in the large tank up close and the dolphin show in the outdoor pool are hugely popular with children. The facility also has restaurants and cafes, making it convenient to get proper nutrition before expending energy at the beach. The air-conditioned interior is also valuable as a place to cool off and take a break away from the scorching midsummer heat.

Tips

About a 10-minute walk from Suma Beach. The dolphin show has set times, so confirm the schedule upon arrival for a smooth experience. The in-facility restaurants can get crowded during certain times, so arriving earlier or later than around noon is recommended.

Best time to visit

Approximately 1 hour 45 minutes required. Visiting in the morning is relatively uncrowded and recommended.
