Learn about salmon ecology through exhibits unique to the salmon town of Murakami
About this spot
A museum unique to Murakami City, known as a salmon town, introducing the lifecycle of salmon, traditional fishing methods, and food culture. In the aquariums inside the hall, you can observe salmon swimming in real-time, and depending on the season, you may see them swimming upstream in the river. A valuable spot where families can learn while enjoying Murakami's salmon culture, which has continued for over 1,000 years.
