Noboribetsu Marine Park NIXE

Noboribetsu Marine Park NIXE presents aquarium exhibits inside a castle-like centerpiece near Noboribetsu Station. Additional marine-animal facilities and scheduled presentations spread the visit across the complex. Its station-side location is separate from the inland onsen district, so plan the aquarium and hot-spring area as distinct stops when combining them.
