JAPAN’S ENJOYABLE PUBLIC AQUARIUMS
In Japan, a country surrounded by the sea and full of rivers and lakes, aquatic life is a very familiar presence. Even so, aquariums are popular here. Known for allowing visitors to experience — so to speak — into the underwater world, aquariums are seen by the people of Japan as uniquely unusual and enjoyable spaces. This issue of Highlighting Japan features a variety of public aquariums in contemporary Japan. Some specialize in freshwater fish, while others offer not only viewing but also extensive interactive programs. Still others show the world’s largest fish species in giant tanks, and some even combine aquatic life exhibits with art.
