Liminal space · Mie, Japan

Shima Marineland (Abandoned)

An aquarium that closed at the end of March 2021 and now stands abandoned. Affectionately known as "the aquarium where ocean sunfish swim," it was famous for its penguin and sunfish exhibits, but since closing only the white building remains, quietly overlooking Ago Bay. It is private property, so please stay off the grounds and view it only from outside.
