Kamo Aquarium “Jellyfish Dream House”
The most attractive point about the Kamo Aquarium is its large jellyfish tank with a diameter of 5m, making it the largest in the world. The world's greatest number of species of jellyfish are exhibited here, and the aquarium has been certified in the Guinness World Records for having the largest number of jellyfish on display. Furthermore, there is a restaurant serving healthy food made with jellyfish. The jellyfish ramen and ice cream are especially popular.
