Wakkanai Youth Science Museum “Wakkarium”
Opened in 1974, this science museum in Wakkanai, Hokkaido, is part of a combined facility with the Noshappu Cold Current Aquarium and is affectionately known as "Wakkarium."
If the weather’s bad, this is a pretty solid backup plan. It’s in a convenient location, and it’s easy to pair with nearby spots.
Wakkanai Noshappu Aquarium
Located at Cape Noshappu, the westernmost point of Wakkanai, Noshappu Aquarium is Japan's northernmost aquarium. It houses and exhibits approximately 1,300 creatures across around 120 species, primarily showcasing marine life adapted to the cold northern seas, such as fish and seals.
They focus on creatures from cold-water seas, so it feels really different from a typical aquarium.
You can see a lot of northern fish species, and it’s pretty educational.
Shibuya Mark City
A commercial facility born from the catch phrase “The day Shibuya becomes and adult”. Shibuya, the place where trends and culture are shared, has a strong image of a youthful city, but this commercial facility is a space that feels comfortable for adults who have graduated from their youth.
Chun Shui Tang opened a shop here last year. I'll definitely stop by again next time I'm in Japan.
