Audio Guide of Miyajima Public Aquarium

Miyajima Public Aquarium usually opens from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with last admission at 4:00 PM. I recommend checking the exact hours on its official website before your visit, as they may vary. It is located a short walk from the Miyajima ferry terminal.

Adult admission usually costs 1,400 yen. Reduced rates are available for children and students. I suggest checking the prices section on its official website for the most up-to-date information on admission fees and possible discounts, especially if you are visiting in a group or are a student.

To fully enjoy Miyajima Public Aquarium and see all the exhibits and shows, I recommend planning at least 2 to 3 hours. If you are visiting with children or love observing marine life, you may want to allow more time.

Miyajima Public Aquarium is not only a marine life exhibition center, but it also plays an important role in conservation and education about species from the Seto Inland Sea and other parts of the world. It is a way to connect with rich aquatic biodiversity and understand its fragility.

To avoid crowds, I suggest visiting the aquarium early in the morning just after opening, or later in the afternoon. As for the time of year, spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) usually offer more pleasant weather and fewer tourists than summer.

Yes, Miyajima Public Aquarium is designed to be accessible. It has elevators and ramps to make it easier for people using wheelchairs or strollers to get around. You can find more details about accessibility in the visitor information section of its website.

Miyajima is full of wonders. Do not miss the iconic Itsukushima Shrine and its floating torii gate, Daisho-in Temple, or a ride up Mount Misen by ropeway for spectacular views. The whole island is a gem.

Of course. Here are some tips: check the times of the sea lion and penguin shows so you do not miss them. Also, walk slowly and take your time observing the details of each exhibit. And do not forget to bring your camera—there are many opportunities for amazing photos.
