Himeji City Aquarium
姫路市, 兵庫県
Address: 440 Nishinobusue, Himeji, Hyogo, Japan
Himeji City Aquarium is a regional aquarium inside Tegarayama Central Park, known locally as the 'aquarium on the hill.' It focuses on familiar aquatic life from the Harima region rather than giant-scale spectacle, with highlights including the Harimanada tank, sea turtles, and Japanese giant salamanders. The result is a calm, locally rooted visit that works especially well as part of broader Himeji sightseeing.
