Kobe Suma Sea World｜Japan's Newest Aquarium with Orcas — Orca Show, Jellyfish, Touch Pool, Shop｜4K

A full walkthrough of Kobe Suma Sea World, the aquarium that opened in June 2024 on Suma Beach, 15 minutes by train from central Kobe — about 40 minutes, 4K. The park is best known for its two orcas, Stella (mother, estimated 40) and Ran (daughter, 20), who moved here from Nagoya Port Aquarium. The orca stadium faces the beach, and the daily 20-minute presentation shows the trainers working with them — jumps, tail slaps, and a lot of water into the first ten rows. Beyond the orcas, the Aqua Live building walks you from a mountain stream down to the Seto Inland Sea, then into jellyfish, tropical reefs, a big open-ocean tank with manta rays and sharks, seals and penguins on the roof, and a touch pool with small sharks and rays. 📍 KOBE SUMA SEA WORLD (Kobe, Hyogo) Opened: June 2024, on the site of the former Suma Aqualife Park Access: JR Suma-Kaihinkoen Station, 5 min walk.
