Marine World Uminonakamichi is a modern aquarium on the Uminonakamichi peninsula, showcasing the warm-current marine life of the seas surrounding Kyushu. Reopened in 2017 after a major renovation, it features a dramatic open-ocean tank and panoramic shows against a Hakata Bay backdrop.
The aquarium originally opened in 1989 as part of the Asian-Pacific Exposition. After operating for nearly 30 years, it was completely rebuilt and reopened in April 2017 with a new focus on the unique marine ecosystems of Kyushu and the Sea of Japan. The renovation cost ¥7.5 billion.
