Marimo Exhibition and Observation Center
Lake Akan's Marimo (algae ball) is a Special Natural Monument of Japan. This center offers the opportunity to observe and appreciate these mysterious spherical life forms while learning about their unique ecology. Located on Churui Island in the northern reaches of Lake Akan, the center is only accessible by sightseeing cruises or express ferries. This fantastic location is just another part of the adventure. The facility includes a gigantic aquarium, a representation of the bottom of Lake Akan, creating the sensation of being right there amongst the Marimo. We invite you to enjoy the entire Lake Akan experience.
