It is now roughly 3.5 billion years since the Earth was born.
Over the ages many varied life forms developed in nature's great aquarium, the ocean.
Humanity was born receiving the riches of the ocean and coming to understand the mystery and sacredness of life.
Now as the destruction of the natural world is becoming ever more serious, people must fully recognize our shared treasure that is the ocean, and think about how best to live symbiotically. The first step we can take is to connect with and learn about many types of life.
The Aquarium is a part of the Port of Nagoya Garden Pier.
In addition to the Aquarium, the Garden Pier also boasts the Observation Lounge, the Maritime Museum, the Fuji Antarctic Museum, as well as dining facilities. Discount tickets to all four of these facilities are available, so why not consider taking in as much of the sea and the port as you can all in a single day?
This 63-meter tall building is the landmark of Nagoya Port. Its distinctive shape is reminiscent of a white-sailed tall ship. You’ll get a stunning view of Nagoya Port from its Observation Lounge 53 meters above the Earth.
Located on the third and fourth floor of the Nagoya Port Building, here you’ll learn all the port, the sea, and the ships that sail to and from here through the story of Japan’s number one international trade port.
The Antarctic icebreaker ship, the Fuji, helped explore the Antarctic for 18 years beginning in 1965. She was Japan’s first genuine icebreaker. Currently, the ship is on public display in her entirety, giving visitors an intimate view of her interior.
Here you’ll find various restaurants, a food court, and gift shops.
