[2025 Kyoto Attraction] Travel Guide for Kyoto Aquarium (Updated Mar)

Kyoto Aquarium is a great place to relax and enjoy. The admission fee is quiet fare because it already includes a dolphin show and the amusing penguin feeding session. During feeding time you can see the personalities of some of the little Cape Penguins who as the staff take care, to feed each one of them because some penguin try to steal fish from the other penguins due to the number of fish is not equal. All feeding sessions last about 20 minutes. #givethanks

Went to the aquarium at around 1 hour plus before closing, it’s not crowded at all and can enjoy all the viewing sections leisurely. Highlights is the salamander but it’s only one tank. The jelly fish section has a wide variety and farming area. Good trip :)

#KyotoAttractions Walking into the Kyoto Aquarium is like opening a dreamy door to the deep sea. What comes into view is a huge blue water tank, with groups of fish swimming leisurely, shining with silver light, as bright as a galaxy. The jellyfish exhibition hall is the most charming. The transparent body changes into magnificent colors under the light, like a floating artwork, quiet and full of poetry. Stepping into the exhibition area that simulates the ecology of Kyoto's rivers, the water flow is gurgling, and koi fish swim gracefully in the gurgling streams, as if whispering the secrets of the ancient capital. The penguin area in the museum makes people smile. They are so naive, sometimes stretching their necks to comb their feathers, sometimes clumsily jumping into the water, filling the air with pure joy. When I said goodbye, looking back at the deep blue, my heart seemed to be soaked in it. Kyoto Aquarium integrates nature and art. It is not only a feast for the eyes, but also a journey for the soul. In this water color, I seem to have touched the purity and tenderness of life.

Kyoto Aquarium is located about a 15-minute walk from Kyoto Station. There were more giant salamanders and jellyfish on display than at other aquariums, which are rarely seen at other aquariums. The penguins are also fed by the zookeepers, who explain things to you in great detail, which is fun. It is recommended that you purchase tickets in advance from a coupon site, as you can get a slightly cheaper price. 📍Address: 35-1 Kankiji-cho, Shimogyo-ku, Kyoto City, 600-8835 (inside Umekoji Park) About a 15-minute walk west from the central exit of Kyoto Station, or about a 7-minute walk from Umekoji Kyoto-nishi Station on the JR Sanin Main Line. 🕰️Opening hours: Hours vary depending on the day, so please see the Kyoto Aquarium business calendar directly. #KyotoTourism #KyotoAquarium #GiantSalamander

The Aquarium and Railway Museum are next to each other, so it's very convenient when you want to visit 2 places in a day. The Kyoto Aquarium is full of sea animals for you to see, including penguins, dolphins, fish, axolotls, and there's even a shark! You can buy a lot of souvenirs at the gift shop too. I really enjoyed watching the sea animals. Overall, it's very amazing! The Kyoto Railway Museum is a wonderful place for children. There are a lot of games to play, and there's even a restaurant with a marvellous view of (actual) train tracks. You can order spaghetti, ramen and desserts. There are even different 1:1 scale models of trains! The experience was really wonderful and amazing. #familytrip

Location: Kyoto Aquarium Address: 35-1 Kankijicho, Shimogyo-ku, Kyoto City, Kyoto Prefecture, inside Umekoji Park Access: 15-minute walk from JR Kyoto Station It is recommended to visit other tourist spots first and then choose to go to the aquarium last, as it is within walking distance from Kyoto Station. The aquarium was open until 6 PM, but I was able to see everything even after entering past 4 PM. There are many famous creatures such as garden eels and penguins, and in the large tanks, various fish swim around, creating a fantastical atmosphere. There are also many other creatures, so you can take your time and look around at your own pace.

#2024wish I absolutely LOVED this aquarium! it was so beautiful and mesmerising. they showcased a lot of different species and animals (e.g seals), i won't mention more so you can go see the animals for yourself ~ i seriously enjoyed it so much! if you come at around 12:00 (or 13:00 i think) and 15:00, you might get to see the dolphin show as well! they also have a free paper jellyfish making activity :>
