Pretty good Aquarium. Polar bear looked miserable since it's summer. We went on a weekend and had to use the alternate parking lot up the hill from the aquarium but the view was great.

The aquarium at Oga was a really cool place to have a look. We got to see polar bears, penguins, and upside down jellys who spend life on their heads apparently. The polar bear was playing while we were there which was cool. The food there was awesome for the price. We got to hold sea slugs. They felt horrible. Will do it again.

The coastal road drive from Akita to the Aquarium GAO is very scenic, passing by fishing villages, stretches of wind turbines and stunning views of Japan Sea. There are lots of parking spots. Upon entering you will see a giant tank with big stingrays swimming among the fishes. The seals and sea lion performances during feeding time is very entertaining and the trainers are very professional. We can see it up close and it’s a lot of fun. There is also a polar bear but because the summer day is extremely hot, the bear needs to be protected and stayed in the shade. Overall a nice experience and very suitable for kids and families. Outside the Aquarium, you can see the rugged coastline of the Oga Peninsula and the Lighthouse.

It was one of the best aquariums I went to. Very well presented information, with a lot of different species and frequent shows with the penguin, seals, and sea lions. The staff were very kind and accommodating. Will visit again if I ever go back to Oga peninsula!

An aquarium at the tip of the Oga Peninsula in Akita Prefecture. Since it was a local aquarium, I entered the aquarium without much expectation. However, it was a wonderful aquarium that far exceeded expectations. They exhibit saltwater fish, freshwater fish, sea lions, penguins, and other animals that take advantage of their behavior and characteristics. I was able to enjoy it enough even if an adult watched it. It was compatible with coronavirus, and the body temperature was measured with a thermography camera at the entrance. The infectious diseases were well dealt with, and I could feel the high awareness of the people involved in the aquarium. If you come to Akita prefecture, I definitely recommend you to visit.
