NIFREL is the first facility in Japan to go beyond the general aquarium. It is a combination of five categories: an aquarium, a zoo, an art gallery, communication with curators, and an ever-changing display. NIFREL emphasizes "contact" which links diverse creatures and personality as themes in order to present a new world to public. The museum uses different sensory devices to present the themes in 7 areas. I believe you are looking forward to meet and contact with a variety of marine life and experience an unprecedented experience. Come and meet them!
