Undersea Observation Tower

Situated in the captivating coastal beauty of Katsuura's Urahara, where the cold and warm currents converge, the area is rich in marine life. At the heart of the 14.5-hectare Katsuura Sea Park lies the Undersea Observation Tower (height: 24.4m, depth: 8m). From the underwater viewing room, visitors can witness a plethora of fish and the seabed's changing scenery according to the seasons.

Encounter giant sharks or witness the unexpected wonders of marine life. It's a designated spot for dreams and excitement—come and experience it!

"Identify this Fish!"

Above the windows, there are fish identification guides. Try to spot and identify the fish you see through the windows.

If you patiently observe, schools of fish might suddenly pass by, shining brightly as they swim.

"Wow! So Many Fish!"
