Aqua World Oarai Backstage Tour

Aqua World Ibaraki Prefectural Oarai Aquarium, located in Oarai Town, Ibaraki Prefecture, is an aquarium that boasts the most shark species in Japan. The backstage tour, held irregularly, allows visitors to see the behind-the-scenes areas of the aquarium that are normally off-limits, guided by keepers. The experience includes looking down into the main tank, feeding sharks and rays, and touring the management systems of the ocean sunfish dedicated tank—all designed to stimulate children's curiosity. It's a special experience that reveals the secrets of sea creatures that cannot be learned from just the public side of the aquarium.
