Kujukushima Pearl Sea Resort

Experience fascinating creatures from the beautiful waters of Kujuku-shima at this fun-packed aquarium in Kujukushima Pearl Sea Resort.
Umi Kirara

See dolphins jumping and even playing catch with each other! The dolphins come so close you'll catch some spray—but not to worry, waterproof plastic sheeting is available! There are three shows daily, each lasting about 20 minutes. A must-see while at Umi Kirara!

Pearl cultivation is a popular activity in Kujuku-shima. Experience extracting pearls from Akoya pearl oysters. Pearls come in a variety of colors, including silver and white, so it's exciting not to know what color or size your pearl will be until you remove it! Select a design to make accessories that will match the color and shape of your pearl!

This is the largest selection of jellyfish in western Japan. Over 100 identified varieties of jellyfish from the waters around Kujuku-shima are constantly rotated for display. It feels therapeutic to see the beautiful forms of the jellyfish floating up this darkened room. Watching it seated on a bench, you'll feel as if you're chilling at the bottom of the ocean.

Observe the fish up close as you feed them yourself. Fish food is just ¥100!

Operated by Kujukushima Pearl Sea Resort, the Pearl Queen is a pleasure boat that sails around the islands. The pattern of waves created by the boat is also quite lovely.

The Relacruise ("Relaxing Cruise") will take you around spots that are inaccessible to larger boats. With the surface of the water so close, this pleasure boat allows you to feel the different moods of Kujuku-shima, which vary in each of the four seasons. Six cruises per day.

Between the months of November and March, you can also enjoy a meal plan when you take the Relacruise! Sail to the Kujuku-shima oyster beds and enjoy charcoal-grilled oysters in season! Four trips per day (approximately 2.5 hours); reservations required one day in advance.

Buy products related to sea creatures and the aquarium. Umi Kirara original goods also available!
