About this spot

A University of Tokyo research facility founded in the Meiji era and known as the birthplace of marine biology in Japan. Facing the rich waters of Sagami Bay, it continues to conduct research on marine life today. As a research facility, it is not an aquarium open at all times, but knowing that the history of marine research lives in this town makes the sea of Misaki look all the deeper as you walk along the shore.
