Umitamago is an attractive aquarium just outside of Beppu. Also known as "Oita Marine Palace", the aquarium recently underwent renovation works to be reopened as "Umitamago" in 2004. Umitamago is a nicely done aquarium with interesting architecture and some displays that make you feel like being in a modern art museum rather than an aquarium. Animals living in Umitamago include seals, otters, dolphins, penguins and various fish. A visit to Umitamago Aquarium is best combined with a visit to the nearby Takasakiyama Monkey Park.

How to get there

Umitamago Aquarium can be reached in a 10 minute bus ride from central Beppu (Beppu Station or Beppu Kitahama). Get off at "Takasakiyama" bus stop. The "Monkey Marine Ticket" for 2200 yen consists of a round trip from Beppu to the Umitamago Aquarium and admission to the aquarium and nearby Takasakiyama Monkey Park.
