The main attraction of Oga Aquarium GAO ​​is the giant aquarium and underwater tunnel.

After entering the museum, the first thing you will notice is the huge aquarium. This is a recreation of the Oga sea.

The next thing that appears is an underwater tunnel. Once inside, you will feel like you are walking on the ocean floor. In particular, the fish that live in Akita's sea are mainly on display. You can get a real sense of what kind of creatures exist in the Sea of ​​Japan right next to you. Hatahata, which is representative of Oga, is one of them.

Let's go from the sea of ​​Akita to the seas of the world!

On the third floor, you can instantly expand your view from Akita and feel the world's oceans. This is where you can admire the fascinating fish that live in coral reefs and the ferocious creatures that live in the Amazon.

At Oga Aquarium GAO, the display locations of creatures often change!

There are sea lions and seals right next to the aquarium entrance. However, aquarium creatures often move. The sea lion that was at the entrance last time may not be at the entrance the next time you go, but you may finally see it at the exit. The exhibit location changes each time you visit, which is another reason why Oga Aquarium GAO ​​has many repeat visitors.

You can get GAO original products at the museum shop.

There is a museum shop inside the museum. Here you will find a lineup of original souvenirs and goods from Oga Aquarium GAO. There are many products that can only be purchased here, so they are quite rare.

GAO's popular white Gota-kun's round roast and straps are on sale. These are cute and popular. Gota-kun is one of the largest white bears in Japan. As you can see, the strap is also large.

You can also buy Akita's specialty Babahera ice cream that grandma sells. The strawberry and banana ice cream creates a rose-shaped ice cream.
