From small to large tanks, we will introduce you to spots where you can feel relaxed by watching jellyfish swaying back and forth! Today, we will introduce "Tsuruoka City Kamo Aquarium" in Tsuruoka City, Yamagata Prefecture. The large round tank with many jellyfish swimming in it, as shown in the top picture, became famous overnight for its beautiful appearance, and recently it has become a spot that you cannot miss at the aquarium😍 Of course, the jellyfish tank is a must-see here🪼About 80 kinds of jellyfish are permanently exhibited in a cylindrical tank through a round window🎐 The main attraction, the large round tank, is a world-class 50mm diameter tank. The 200m aquarium is called the "Jellyfish Dream Theater" and has about 10,000 moon jellyfish floating in it 🤩 My personal recommendation is the jellyfish in the 6th picture that glows like illumination, "Ecochiru" even has a cute name 🥰 The other glowing jellyfish are truly mystical 🧙♀️ [Things you should definitely try ✅] Of course, there are other exhibits besides jellyfish, but what I would like to recommend at this aquarium is the "Backyard Tour" which is held three times a day and can be experienced for only 300 yen 😍 However, it is limited to the first 10 people, so it is quite a high hurdle, but I hope you will try it somehow! Event times: 10:30, 13:30, 14:30 [Recommended access ✈️] The best way to get to Kamo Aquarium is from Shonai Airport! Only 15 minutes by car✨By the way, if you try to go by Shinkansen, it takes more than 5 hours at the shortest and the cheapest is the same price as an airplane, but it only takes 1 hour from Haneda to Shonai! So it's definitely better to go by plane‼ ️If you want to go sightseeing from the western to northern parts of Yamagata, you should definitely go by plane✈️ It's hard to go sightseeing in Yamagata without a car, so if you can't drive, invite someone who can! 〜〜〜〜〜Information〜〜〜〜〜〜📍Tsuruoka City Kamo AquariumAddress: 657-1 Okubo, Imaizumi, Tsuruoka City, Yamagata PrefectureOpening hours: 9:00-17:00 (last entry 16:00)Cost: Adults 1,000 yen, elementary and junior high school students 500 yenRecommended: Backyard tour experienceCaution: It's hard to get a spot in front of the large aquarium〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜 #Sakura2024 #Domestic travel #Japan's greatest views #Yamagata sightseeing

The world's best jellyfish aquarium in Tsuruoka, Yamagata Prefecture.

Many people just want to enjoy the tank, so be quick and quiet when taking photos. It was really surreal to see Naomi the seal rubbing her nose in the tank for the rest of her life🤣 She's apparently rubbing her nose today too🦭 . . 📍Kamo Aquarium 🗺️Yamagata, Japan 🚗25 minutes from Tsuruoka Station 🕑9:00-17:00 💰¥1000 #Aquarium2024 #100TravelStyles #YamagataPrefecture

After arriving in Tsuruoka City, Yamagata Prefecture, in northeastern Japan, we first visited the Kamo Aquarium, which is famous for its jellyfish. The aquarium is located south of Yunohama Beach, the most popular beach in the area. The aquarium has more than 60 types of jellyfish, including various glowing jellyfish and colorful jellyfish, as well as the world's largest jellyfish species. It's like a dreamy underwater world, and it feels like you're wandering on an alien planet. The jellyfish emit colorful lights, as if they have a spirit, dancing to attract our attention. We then came to Mt. Haguro, one of the Three Mountains of Dewa (Mt. Gassan, Mt. Haguro, and Mt. Yudono). There is a five-story pagoda that is designated as a national treasure, which was under maintenance when we visited. At the top of the mountain, there is a Three Gods Shrine, which is designated as a national important cultural property, and enshrines the three gods of Mt. Gassan, Mt. Haguro, and Mt. Yudono. The cedar trees on both sides of the stone steps are very lush, and it feels like you're walking into a secret realm. Among Japan's mountain beliefs, the Three Mountains of Dewa have the longest history, and many devout believers still come to worship. In the evening, we stayed at the Kameya Ryokan, a very design-conscious hotel. Each room has a different design, and the creativity always surprises us. Dinner was the famous kaiseki cuisine. The chopsticks used were very special, with pointed ends on both sides, symbolizing that the gods and us are having dinner together. I like the waiting between each dish, which allows me to savor the taste of the previous dish and look forward to the next one. Kaiseki means that the saint is regarded as jade, and I really feel that I have been spoiled. We can find a slow life philosophy in kaiseki cuisine. By carefully feeling the ingredients, respecting the craftsmanship, and awe of nature, we can make our daily life more calm, simple, and indifferent, with quality and connotation.

A small ,rather old place, but excellent to see jellyfish.And eat icecream containing jellyfish,very tasty,with the chewy bits being the jellyfish. Many of the tanks being rather small for the amount of fish etc in them.Probably because of the age of the building. The variety of the jellyfish is large and very interesting. I want to visit this place again in 2024. #2024wish

Kamo Aquarium, Tsuruoka City, Yamagata Prefecture. It's become quite famous on social media. The admission fee is 1,000 yen, but the quality is amazing. In particular, they keep over 200 types of jellyfish, and there were a lot of pretentious words flying around, such as world firsts and Japan firsts. There is also a fisheries high school nearby, so industry-academia collaboration must have worked well naturally, as a wonderful environment has been created for the fish. If I have the opportunity, I would like to come back to study again. #besttrip2023

An aquarium I wanted to visit when I lived in Yamagata 🐠 I made it happen ✨✨ It takes 2-3 hours by car from Yamagata Airport, but I'm glad I went 🙆🏻‍♀️💖 I also managed to buy a jellyfish umbrella that can only be bought here 🌂 It looks amazing. Awesome!! 😆💗 #SendaiTourism #KamoAquarium

I went to the jellyfish aquarium in Tsuruoka City, Yamagata Prefecture during the Obon holiday in 2022. I arrived early in the morning during the Obon holiday, so it wasn't that crowded yet, but after 10:30 there was a long line... At around 11:00, the parking guide was to the parking lot at the very back. It's a popular facility, so if you want to take your time looking around, it's best to go early in the morning or on a weekday. There are a lot of people taking photos at the main spot, and since the distance to the aquarium is a little close, I think it would be easier to take a picture of the whole thing if you have a wide-angle lens. Also, there is no place to line up, so you have to take turns taking pictures. When you go outside, there are rocks, and the calm water surface is green and very beautiful, making it just right for a walk. If you walk a little towards the parking lot, you can look for small creatures on the beautiful shallow rocks. Also, it may depend on the period, but it seems that you can also do marine activities such as SUP, so it seems like it would be a good idea to make a reservation. #jellyfishaquarium #jellyfish#summerweekendtrip #aquarium #recommendedfordates
