Tanks holding only species from Lake Hamana, where the sea mixes with the rivers.
From three levels of walkway, visitors look out over the tanks of species from Lake Hamana, where seawater mixes with river water. According to reviews, they are mostly families with children.
The centre is a municipal educational facility devoted to Lake Hamana, a brackish lake connected to the open sea by the Imagiri mouth (今切口): tanks and panels present the species that live in this mixed water.
