It was my first time visiting Oita but had enough time I decided to go to the Oita Marine Palace aquarium “Umitamago”.
If you have time after visiting Yufuin onsen, Beppu onsen & Beppu Jigoku trip which is the famous sightseeing place in Oit, why not consider going to Oita aquarium.
Honestly, I really like aquariums but will report whether the countryside aquarium was nice or not in this article.
If you are interested in an aquarium or looking for some place to sightseeing in Oita this can be helpful for you.

Umitamago is what kind of aquarium？
In 1964 it opened as Oita Ecology Aquarium Marine Palace and in 2004 it was reborn at Oita Marine Palace aquarium Umitamago.
It is located along the Beppu by and the aquarium concept is “the aquarium to become friendly with animals”. Based on the info given by the aquarium there they are doing several events and shows so you can describe that they are following their nice concept.

Umitamago’s highlight part for me was the sea animal show which is famous for Walrus. But other than that they also have an event so-called backyard tour which is a rare event. The contents of backyard are how they treat or train the animals there and go close to them.
From big fish to small fish, Saltwater fish, freshwater fish, tropical fish, and deep-sea fish maybe you can find new findings.
