``Fisheries Science Museum Marient'' is located very close to Kabushima, a sacred place for black-tailed black-tailed gulls, and can be seen from Kabushima Shrine. Near Mariento is also the Tanesashi Coast, part of the Sanriku Fukko National Park. There are many sightseeing spots in the surrounding area, making it a perfect place to include it on your route.

This time, we will be introducing Mariento, a heartwarming aquarium that is loved by both tourists and locals.

Mariento's specialty "waterfish"

``Waterfish'' is gaining popularity for its cute round eyes. The mouth that looks like real lips and the round body shape are also reasons why they are loved.

This waterfish lives mainly in Aomori and Hokkaido. Locals call it ``gokko'' rather than waterfish. Waterfish are known for being delicious to eat. The taste is said to be similar to monkfish. Since it is rich in collagen, it is also enjoyed by women.

It is also the representative fish of the Fisheries Science Museum Mariento. All of the fish in Marient, including the pretend fish, have a somewhat heartwarming impression.

The popular "Flounder" that greets you

Besides pretend play, flounder is also gaining popularity. When most people think of flounder, they imagine that they always live in the sand and don't move much. However, the flounder here is a little different. These flatfish are very active, and when they sense someone approaching, they will come all the way to the wall of the tank to greet you. Please enjoy the sight of flounder that can only be found in Marient.

Also the popular “Doctor Fish”

``Doctor Fish'' is also one of the highlights. When you put your hand in the aquarium, many fish will come to your hand and eat the excess dead skin. It has great beauty effects. Some people are so addicted to the feeling that they keep using it forever.

Enjoy the finest hamazen at the panoramic restaurant

There is an observation restaurant called ``Chiyo'' on the 4th floor. The recommended lunch menu is the ``Tokujo Ebisu Hama Zen (1,500 yen)''. It comes with a sea urchin bowl. The sea urchin is fresh and you can taste the sweetness and aroma of the sea.

It also includes fried kinkin, sashimi with the local dish akahata mochi, and rice cracker soup. It's expensive for lunch, but since you're here, choose the special Ebisu Hamazen, which includes luxurious dishes.

Full of various special exhibitions

Another feature of Marient is that it hosts a variety of special exhibitions. There is a water tank where you can experiment with water pressure at a depth of 1,000 meters, an electric eel, and a touch tank where you can touch living creatures directly.

Since Kabushima, the island of black-tailed black-tailed gulls, is located nearby, there is an exhibit on the island where you can learn about the ecology of black-tailed black-tailed black-tailed cats. ``Squid Paradise'' is also popular, where you can learn about the ecology of squid, a specialty of Hachinohe.

Summary about Marient

Marient is Hachinohe's representative science museum with a fisheries theme. Waterfish and flounder are worth seeing. Lunch at the observation restaurant is also recommended.

The 5th floor is an observation room where you can overlook Kabushima Shrine, a sacred place for black-tailed gulls. Bazaars such as Marient City are also held on the same 5th floor. It's a spot where you won't get bored even if you stay all day.
