Io World Kagoshima City Aquarium Dolphin Waterway
（イルカ水路（いおワールドかごしま水族館））
Admission to the Dolphin Waterway is free, so feel free to stop by while out on a stroll.
The Dolphin Waterway is a specially maintained 275 meter waterway that flows into the Kagoshima aquarium.
Dolphins can swim out from their pool into the waterway freely.
The area is divided into a northern area, central area, and southern area by roads and footbridges.
The southern area is a few minutes walk from the neighboring Dolphin Port outdoor shopping complex.
Dolphin training sessions in the Dolphin Waterway, which each last about 10 minutes, can be viewed three times a day.
* Events are subject to change or cancellation due to sea and dolphin conditions.
