The Otaru Aquarium is an aquarium with a history of 60 years since it was opened as a venue for the seas at the 1958 Hokkaido Expo. It stands on a small hill overlooking Ishikari Bay and displays 5,000 living creatures of 250 species. The creatures on display are mainly from the northern seas and rivers around Hokkaido. At the museums’s Dolphin Stadium, there is a popular dolphin and sea lion show. The marine pool is a natural environment in harmony with its surroundings and is home to seals and sea lions that you can feed. One of the most popular events is the walking of the penguins through snow in the winter months.
