Kamogawa Sea World Celebrates 55 Years

Kamogawa Sea World, renowned for its rich variety of marine life, is gearing up for a significant milestone. The facility, operated by Granvista Hotel & Resort, is set to kick off a special exhibition titled "Sakamata & Kamogawa Sea World History" on July 1, 2025. This exhibition will showcase the archives of its official magazine, "Sakamata." With a history of 55 years, it features captivating stories and beautiful photographs curated by its dedicated animal caretakers, detailing individual characteristics and memorable anecdotes about the animals on display.

The Rich Heritage of Sakamata

The magazine "Sakamata" has become a treasured aspect of the Kamogawa Sea World experience.

Each edition allows readers to delve deeper into the lives of the marine creatures they might encounter during their visit, effectively bridging the gap between the visitors and the sea creatures.
