Noboribetsu Marine Park Nixe

登別マリンパークニクス

Hokkaido

A Danish-castle-themed aquarium a short walk from Noboribetsu Station, home to king penguins that take a daily 'penguin parade' walk, along with sharks, seals and one of Hokkaido's largest fish collections.

Why we picked it

It's overshadowed by Hell Valley and the onsen town, so despite being right next to the train station it's often treated as a rainy-day backup rather than a main stop.
