The Marine World Uminonakamichi was renovated on November 2017
“Marine World Uminonakamichi” spreads over land-connected sandbars connecting Shiga Island and mainland Kyushu.
The Marine World Uminonakamichi, located in the resort-inspiring park, is a popular aquarium renovated throughout 2017.
The theme of the exhibition on the “Marine World Uminonakamichi” is the “Sea of Kyushu”.
“The route started with the 3F “Sea Zone near Kyushu”.
Standing in front of the Genkainada aquarium (photo above), you’ll find yourself in the sea.
The aquarium’s exhibitions include the seas near Kyushu, the open seas of Kyushu, the deep seas of Kyushu, the jellyfish of Kyushu, the dolphins close to Fukuoka, the coral reefs of Amami, the monster Island and the otter pool.
The “Diver Fish Watching” and “Sardines Typhoon” are particularly powerful at the Open Ocean Tank in Kyushu.
A must-see exhibit is “HONENOTO(sound of bone) ~ HONE NOTE”, which appeared in April 2019 to commemorate the 30th anniversary of its opening.
The huge skull of a sperm whale and the whole body skeleton of a minke whale are awesome!
The secrets hidden in the bone shapes and bones that have changed according to the living environment are a series of surprises.
The beautiful performances of dolphins in the sea-visible showroom
The show pool where sea lion and dolphin shows are held has been renewed and further evolved!
The view of the pool and the sea from the spectator seats has improved significantly, and the stage has been closer to the spectator seats.
Sea lions and dolphins can be enjoyed right in front of you.
However, be aware that the front seats are splashing water during the show.
You can also see the sky and the sea beyond the show pool and the night view of Hakata sparkling at night.
At the sea lion show, sea lions will humorously show off their skills.
Clap to the sea lions that make a great smile!
Dolphins with high intellectual ability and curiosity are very popular with aquariums.
Dolphins can emit pulse sounds and use the sound reflected on the object to capture the characteristics of the object and communicate.
Don’t miss the dolphin show where you can enjoy such amazing jumps!
Jumping into the blue sky with the sea in the background, stunning standing swims and excellent teamwork skills, and lovely greetings that will be shown at the end …
Your heart will be got seized!
Too pretty! Marine World idols
The various expressions of the creatures gently wrap your bittered heart and the damp heart.
You’ll be cheered up by the creatures that live in Marine World!
Among the idols at the aquarium, the otter’s loveliness is exceptional!
Sea otter playing happily, his mouth munching before the nap time, floating in the pool, napping easily… you will be killed by cuteness.
As of July 2019, only eight of the cute otters are currently housed in Japan.
Two of them are Lilo (11-year-old male) and Mana (7-year-old female), who are housed in the Midway of the Marine World.
Mana became ill on the 11th day of her birth, so she was separated from her mother, Malin, and was raised with the generous care and affection of 16 breeders.
The dying Mana was energetic and overcame a number of crises, making it the first successful example of artificial nursing in Japan!
And now there is a passion for the birth of the second generation between Mana and Lilo.
The lovely creatures with this smile are Smenari.
It is a small dolphin of the porpoise family Smenari, characterized by an average size of 160-170cm, no back fins, and a 2-3cm bulge from the back to the tail fin.
The laughing mouth and the round head with a charming character, a series of people who are killed!
To meet the sumenari, go to the “Fukuoka-no-mijikana-iruka(Fukuoka Familiar Dolphins)”.
Alice, Goten and Miku, a cute Sennali who love to find play, are waiting for you!
Full of summer pleasure!
