About Kyoto Aquarium
What is Kyoto Aquarium?
Go meet the animals,
An oasis in the park.
It is located in Umekoji Park, which is surrounded by forests and lawns.
This is a special aquarium where you can feel a deep connection with animals and nature.
Giant salamanders that live in the rivers of Kyoto,
Satoyama, a place that recreates nature living close to people's lives,
Coexistence of life nurtured by the blessings of water
All of these are important themes at Kyoto Aquarium.
Every time I come I discover something new.
A place you'll always want to stop by.
We want to be an oasis in your life at all times.
That's the feeling I have as I live with the animals.
The concept is "When you get close,
I'll love it even more."
Let's get closer to each other's hearts,
A place where we can understand each other better.
If there is a animals that interests you,
Try talking to the animal care staff.
The distance between customers and animals,
Distance from the staff, distance from anyone who came with you.
Whenever we get close,
It's the gateway to a new world,
We think so.
Compared to before coming to Kyoto Aquarium,
The distance between our hearts has become closer.
We aim to create a space that makes you feel that way.

Our thoughts
Because you can observe animals up close,
There are some things I understand.
When talking to someone, I realize
There are new discoveries.
There is a certain emotion that can only be experienced by coming into contact with nature.
Aquariums are a window into nature all around us.
We at Kyoto Aquarium,
The thoughts that we cherish while living with animals,
And we will introduce our initiatives for the future.
