This is a list of aquaria (public aquariums) in Japan. For zoos, see List of zoos in Japan. Also, For worlds, see List of aquaria.
Aquariums are facilities where animals are confined within tanks and displayed to the public, and in which they may also be bred. Such facilities include public aquariums, oceanariums, marine mammal parks, and dolphinariums.
Attempts to operate the public aquarium began in 1882 with the aquarium "Uonozoki" in Ueno Zoo, and in 1899, the first private aquarium, the Asakusa Park Aquarium, opened.[1] As of 2020, the oldest facility in Japan's aquarium is the Uozu Aquarium in Toyama, which opened in 1913.[1] The first facility in the world to raise whale sharks and manta rays is in Japan.
Japan has the largest number of public aquariums per capita in the world.[1] There are many small public aquariums in Japan and many are not on this list.
In addition, large fish tanks are often installed at large commercial facilities, stations, and airports, such as Naha Airport, Ginza Sony Building, Aeon mall, Don Quijote, and Bay side place Hakata, all of which are open to the public for free.
