Overview

Numazu Port Deep Sea Aquarium, opened in 2014, is the world's first aquarium specializing in deep-sea creatures. Suruga Bay, with a maximum depth of 2,500 meters, is known as a treasure trove of deep-sea life. The aquarium showcases rare deep-sea creatures collected from Suruga Bay. A unique highlight is the display of three taxidermied and two frozen coelacanths, often called living fossils. The aquarium also features educational corners on the ecology of deep-sea creatures and deep-sea research. Children will enjoy the deep-sea creature plushies and deep-sea themed games, making it a fun destination for families. Next to the aquarium is "Minato Hachijuhachi-banchi," a vibrant food street offering fresh seafood from Suruga Bay at reasonable prices. There's also a souvenir shop and the adjacent Coelacanth Museum, ensuring a full day of enjoyment. Numazu Port Deep Sea Aquarium is perfect for those interested in the deep sea and families looking for an engaging aquarium experience.
