小樽水族馆印象

I left this place with my heart broken, it's insane the conditions these animals are in, it's like the movie SAW but for marine animals. I usually don't make a fuss but here anyone in their right mind can see the poor conditions these animals are kept in. Turtle with no limb, several seals (not the ones from the show) are missing their eyes most fish have developped cataracts or some cloudy eye fish disease, scarring, and if this is not bad enough they are kept in very small and crowded aquariums. I am aware some animals can be kept in such conditions (e.g. A goldfish has short-term memory, so every few seconds everything is new to it). The dolphins (not the ones at the show) could be clearly seen that they were in deep distress and showing some signs of psychological disorders by twisting themselves while swimming very fast. While some other visitors were laughing at this matter like "oh silly dolphin", NO! They're crazy! And you would also become crazy if you're bound to spend your life in a small aquarium like that!!!Please don't go to this aquarium to support the suffering of these animals, and don't come with the argument "but endangered animals are best kept under control to try to increase their population"... Uh?.... no... Stressed animals don't reproduce...

An added attraction when visiting the seaport town of Otaru is the Otaru Aquarium. There are several ways of getting there from Otaru, the easiest being a 30-minute public bus ride from the Chuo Bus Otaru Terminal conveniently located in the heart of the town. Certainly a more convenient, albeit expensive, option is to hire one of the numerous taxicabs that abound in Otaru Town. More adventurous souls might want to choose a sightseeing boat that skirts the scenic coastline for the 4-mile trip, but this will require additional walking to and from both terminals. Visitors have reported walking the distance from town to the aquarium, but in our opinion this is neither for the feeble nor faint of heart. The Otaru Aquarium composes of four distinct attractions, all of them accessible after paying a single entrance fee. Finned fish and sea turtles are tanked in the “Main Building” that has attached to it the “Dolphin Stadium”, the venue for performing cetaceans. A paved walkway will lead you to the “Maine Mammal Park” which is a large compound exhibiting various cold-water species such as Gentoo and Humboldt penguins, ringed and ribbon seals, and walruses. And if all of this is still not enough, you can walk over to the “Amusement Park” for bumper cars and Ferris wheel rides for nominal fees. All in all, we found the Otaru Aquarium entertaining and worthy of the time and effort we took to visit it. It appears to be very popular with local visitors as evidence by the scores of students we encountered there. While being touted as being one of the major attractions in all of Hokkaido, don’t expect Otaru to be another Osaka Aquarium. However, most fish lovers should find the Otaru Aquarium a welcome sight as it contains several fish species not likely to be encountered anywhere else in the world. Moreover, sight seeing visitors will find a worthy bonus prize in the nearby and magnificent Nishin Goten (Herring Mansion). Additionally, along the main street to the aquarium and mansion you will find several vendors selling grilled herrings, a delightful local treat. However if you’re pressed for time and are a primarily shopping fiend or foodie, then I would suggest limiting your stay to Otaru Town.

There are lots of kids and teenagers visitors. We are of one the few tourists to stopover since its located pretty remotely.If you get those tour bus pass, then you can access to this place easily. Otherwise, you can still wait for the public buses if you don't drive.Since its locsted at a top of a hill/mountain, the view is excellent. You can view the sea and feel the strong winds.There are lots of fishes ie dolphins, sharks, sting rays and some animals.But it close pretty early.

My family and I visited Otaru Aquarium on December 2013. The location of Otaru Aquarium is not within the walking distance from Otaru Station or Otaru Canal. In fact, it takes 25 minutes to reach there by bus. My family and I took a taxi in front of Otaru Station and the whole journey was about 15-20 minutes. I personally feel that it is a more convenient way to go there by taxi if you are travelling with family especially during a chilly winter morning. We were glad that we chose the right choice as the taxi dropped us right in front of the entrance. Otherwise, it was quite a walk from where the bus stop to the entrance of Otaru Aquarium.We enjoyed our visit very much especially the Penguin Parade and Sea Mammals show. In order to catch the parade and show, my advice is to arrive at the aquarium at the latest by 11 am. The Sea Mammals shows starts at 11.15am then followed by Penguin Parade.What really makes Otaru Aquarium special is, visitors have the " hands on " experience with some of the sea animals. For example , the hands-on feeding experience for visitors at the spotted seal and harbor seal pool, and at the Steller sea lion pool. I highly recommend this aquarium as one of the must- visit attraction if you are travelling with young children.

Getting to the Aquarium is an easy trip using the local bus from the bus-station - the Aquarium being the terminus, and it is interesting to see residential rather than tourist areas along the route. (The Otaru tourist map/info gives great information about use of local bus, etc. - make sure you pick one up, either from your hotel or from the Tourist Info Centre down by the canal.) It is a small aquarium, but well maintained and a pleasure to walk around, and it schedules some good demonstrations/shows. It is a steep walk down to sea-level pools, but with an escalator to get you back up to the main exhibit area. Lovely views across the bay and town. (If mobility is a problem for you, you need to be aware of a lot of steps up to the aquarium (or a fairly steep slope) from the bus stop.

Always delightful to watch marine life and performances. It's average compared to other aquariums around the world. However, the view outside the aquarium is very pretty. You can see the Herring Museum at a distance and it's about 15 to 20 minutes walk to the Former Aoyama Villa. So, it's worthwhile to make a visit to the area.

Otaru Aquarium is located at the cape in suburb of city. It takes 20 minutes to reach Aquarium by bus from city terminal. Bu we preferred to walk along the coast. It is wonderful way. There are many small fishermen villages and homely restaurants. Two short parts of the way are not comfortable only: we had to pass through tunnels. But mostly the way is pleasant and attractive. We did not regret that walked.Aquarium is big enough. It is popular place among th Otaru citizens and people from other parts of Hokkaido. Especially we liked to feed marine animals in the pools built in the sea. Many school children spend a lot of time "talking" with various big and little marine animals. Seals, penguins and other animals share their warmness with people. It is real lesson of goodness! I recommend everyone who comes to Otaru to visit Aquarium.

This time if Green Peace has anything to say about it, I will be going to hell. I admit sea mammals should live in the wild.....At least their cells should be bigger and more natural looking. I still enjoyed it. I was charmed by the exploitive tricks they made the sea mammals do. I am totally evil for enjoying buying buckets of fish then throwing it to the seals to eat. I was a little concerned why were all the seals' left eyes diseased. The left eyes were swollen, deformed and blind. I really hope these were rescued animals rather than trapped animals injured by their exploitation.

We visited the Otaru Aquarium in mid July 2013 as a day trip from Sapporo. I've been a few times previously many years ago, but nothing has changed really. This time I took my 11 year old daughter, and Japanese family friends brought their 5 and 8 year old girls. This Aquarium is a bit out of the way, and sits on top of a hill with a very steep incline to walk up there. The view from the top is quite stunning of the whole bay. It's not as large as some of the other Aquariums I've visited in the world, but it's a nice size and a great family atmosphere for kids of various ages. A lot of locals tend to visit, and it feels less touristy to me then some other parts of Otaru. There are a variety of sea life exhibits inside, from giant sea turtles, to sturgeon, sharks, sting rays, even otters with a passageway you can view in the floor to their "den". We all enjoyed wandering around the marine life and exploring. Outside and down another steep hillside is the outdoor pen area and sea lion, walrus, and penguin shows. They're entertaining, though not shaded in the hot summer sun, so bring a hat or umbrella. Check the schedule for the times of the shows to catch everything you might want to see. The view from the ocean is beautiful down there as well. "Touch Tanks" are also a place where kids can handle various sea life such as star fish or small crabs. There is an escalator that makes ascending back up the cliff side fast which we were grateful for. We also caught a Dolphin show, though it was quite crowded. A quick peek in a gift shop and some soft cream made our day complete. All the children were content and satisfied with our visit. Our ticket into the Aquarium came with a coupon for a free ride at the cheesy little amusement park next door to the Aquarium. My daughter chose the "swings" but the ride lasted literally 2 minutes if that and was disappointing. I'd beware if you have small children who might want to ride every ride and waste a lot of money. Very expensive in there. Overall I'd say this Aquarium is a highlight of any visit to Otaru and I'd definitely go back in the years to come.
