Sanshisuimei (The Beauty of Nature)
Protecting Kyoto's beautiful nature and rare species
The freshwater creatures that live in Kyoto, a city rich in water, can be broadly divided into the Yura River system and the Lake Biwa and Yodo River system. As an area blessed with water, the species of animals are extremely diverse. On display are animals that live in Mizoro Pond and the former Ogura Pond, animals connected to Lake Biwa, and animals unique to Kyoto such as the Japanese aucha perch, Yamato salamander, and Golden venus chub .
An easy-to-understand introduction to the history of the water city
The " Sanshisuimei (The Beauty of Nature) " area displays the beautiful nature of Kyoto and the animals that live in the waterside areas nurtured by this city of water.
Rare animals have become increasingly rare in recent years. Kyoto Aquarium exhibits endangered animals with ties to Kyoto, such as the Japanese aucha perch and the Japanese loach, with the aim of "ex situ conservation" and "successive breeding."
As a source of information on protecting Kyoto's environment, we will introduce various animals.
Also pay attention to this
