Kamogawa Sea World Map and Brochure (2022 – 2025)
Location: Kamogawa, Japan
Years Active: 1970 – Active
Kamogawa Sea World…it’s been around forever, right? Since 1970! They have the usual dolphin shows, and penguins of course, but here’s what makes it different.
The Ocean Stadium is where the action is. Killer whales perform here, and yes, it’s controversial. Some people love it, some hate it. But the shows are always packed, so decide for yourself. Want a real thrill? Take a walk through the shark tank. It’s a see-through tunnel – scary, but awesome!
Want a local’s tip? The food’s overpriced, so eat before you come. But if you get hungry, try the fried squid at the snack bar – it’s surprisingly good. Best time to visit? The summer festival gets crazy-busy. Go off-season, or check out the nighttime illuminations if you like things a bit quieter.
Kamogawa Sea World isn’t perfect. Some exhibits are dated. But, if you want a close look at marine life with some insider twists, it’s worth a visit.
