Nakagawa Aquatic Park
The only aquarium in Tochigi prefecture.
From the Nakagawa River， the best clear stream in the Kanto area， to rivers in the world (Amazon River)， then to the Longing Sea (fish in coral reefs)， are introduced in approx. 60 water tanks， in various sizes from small to large.
The attraction of the river， which the sea does not have， is definitely the sunlight shining deep through the water. A large amount of sunlight is taken in at the aquatic park， recreating the scenic riverbed.
As natural light shines through the water， the fish actively swim in the aquarium， which is an attractive part of this park which cannot be experienced at a marine aquarium.
There are many interactive areas as well， including touching tanks where visitors can encounter crayfish and starfish directly."

Nasu Area
