Muroto Schoolhouse Aquarium
むろと廃校水族館（Muroto Haiko Suizokukan）
The First School/Aquarium in Japan
Muroto Schoolhouse Aquarium is housed in a former elementary school. Instead of students, you will find small hammerhead sharks swimming in the outdoor pool, sea cucumbers lounging in long washbasins, and sea turtles relaxing in a large tank. Wander through the corridors, science labs and libraries to meet 1,000 sea creatures of 50 different species, who live in school-themed tanks.
