Kushimoto Marine Park is the first marine park established in Japan in
July, 1970. The Kuroshio Current washes the coast, sae water is clear and
water temperature is not lower than 15°C even in winter, and keeps
warm temperature all the year round. In the sea, a lot of reef corals and
colorful tropical fishes constitute a beautiful underseascape. Kushimoto
Marine Park Center was established for visitors easy to get close contact
with underwater nature. The Center has Aquarium, Underwater Observation
Tower and a semi-submarine-type excursion Boat "Stella Maris",
as facilities for visitors. And besides, Diving Park is open for the skin
and SCUBA divers.
