The Io World Kagoshima City Aquarium, one of the largest aquariums in Kyushu, is easily recognized due to its unique architecture.
Located just by the Sakurajima Ferry Terminal, it is easy to get to from downtown Kagoshima City and from Sakurajima.

You can also see dolphins swimming happily in the open-air Dolphin Waterway outside the aquarium.
