Kagoshima's waters stretch 600 kilometers from north to south. The powerful Kuroshio Current, a powerful ocean current, cuts across the region and flows into the Pacific Ocean. This current brings giant fish species like whale sharks, bonito, and tuna to the waters around Kagoshima. Furthermore, the waters around Yakushima and Tanegashima boast well-developed coral reefs, home to vibrant subtropical fish and shellfish. Meanwhile, Kinko Bay stretches out before the aquarium. At its center stands the active volcano Sakurajima. Lava formations, formed by lava flows of varying sizes, extend from shallows to deep waters along the surrounding coast, creating a unique underwater landscape. On the surface, pods of several to dozens of southern bottlenose dolphins inhabit the bay's depths, while a large group of over 200 long-beaked dolphins swims happily throughout Kinko Bay. Kagoshima's marine environment is incredibly diverse, boasting a rich diversity of life that far surpasses any other sea area.

IO WORLD Kagoshima Aquarium meticulously showcases the diverse life found in the waters surrounding Kagoshima. The aquarium features tanks such as the "Kuroshio Sea" and "Southwest Islands Sea" on the second floor, and the "Sea of Kagoshima" on the fourth floor, centered around Kinko Bay. Each tank displays a different fish species, each themed after its location. Start your Kyushu adventure with an educational and entertaining experience at IO WORLD Kagoshima Aquarium!
