Shikoku Aquarium
Utazu, Ayauta District, Kagawa
Address: 4 Hama Ichibancho, Utazu-cho, Ayauta-gun, Kagawa, Japan
Opened in 2020 at the foot of the Great Seto Bridge in Utazu, Kagawa, Shikoku Aquarium is a major regional aquarium built around the concept of 'Shikoku's Waterscapes.' The route moves through the Seto Inland Sea, Pacific Ocean, rivers and lakes, the sunset-view dolphin area, and hands-on zones, making the visit feel like a tour through Shikoku's aquatic scenery. Its signature exhibits are the large central tank 'Watatsumi no Kei' and the dolphin playing time staged against the Seto Inland Sea. The modern design, scenic setting, and easy access from Utazu Station make it one of Shikoku's strongest sightseeing stops.
