Perched on the scenic coastline of Yamagata Prefecture, Kamo Aquarium holds a Guinness World Record for housing over 60 different species of jellyfish. The undeniable centerpiece is the breathtaking Jellyfish Dream Theater, a massive circular tank where roughly 10,000 translucent moon jellies drift under dramatic backlighting. Guests can peek into an active breeding laboratory to examine microscopic polyps, catch entertaining seal shows, and view fascinating regional marine life like rays and octopuses. Before you leave, adventurous eaters can even stop by the seaside restaurant to sample unique jellyfish-infused culinary specialties.
