Many people may ask, “Why build an aquarium in the Kyoto basin, far from the sea?”
Naturally, the ocean is essential to an aquarium.
However, the ocean is not the only home to aquatic life.

Surrounded by mountains on three sides, the Kyoto basin is blessed by abundant water resources brought by the rivers that flow from the mountains.
More than 10 Class A rivers run through the city of Kyoto, notably the Kamo, Katsura and Uji rivers. Long known as a city of Sanshisuimei, or scenic beauty, Kyoto has fostered a unique culture around its rivers.
