About Noboribetsu Marine Park Nixe
Step into a fairytale at Noboribetsu Marine Park Nixe, where a stunning European-style castle houses an incredible underwater world. Perfect for families and marine enthusiasts, this unique Hokkaido attraction combines captivating dolphin shows, interactive penguin encounters, and mesmerizing aquarium exhibits for an unforgettable day out.
Local Legends & Stories
The castle design is inspired by Egeskov Castle in Denmark, bringing a touch of European folklore to Hokkaido. Locals affectionately view the resident sea creatures, especially the long-lived sea turtles, as symbols of longevity and good fortune for the coastal town of Noboribetsu.

Available Facilities
Perfect Timing
When to visit for the best experience
The best time to visit is right at opening time or after 2:00 PM to avoid peak midday crowds and school groups. While it is an excellent year-round indoor and outdoor attraction, visiting during the crisp Hokkaido autumn or snowy winter adds a magical, fairytale contrast to the European castle architecture.
Photography Guide
Capture the perfect shots
-
Capture the grand exterior of Nixe Castle from the main plaza during the golden hour just before closing for beautiful, warm lighting.
-
Use a polarizing filter or press your lens flat against the glass to eliminate glare when photographing the vibrant underwater tunnel exhibits.
-
Position yourself near the front of the outdoor pool area at least fifteen minutes before the dolphin show starts to secure an unobstructed, splash-free photo angle.
Cultural Etiquette
Respect local customs and traditions
Japanese aquarium culture emphasizes quiet observation and respect for the animals, so please keep your voices down near the exhibits and refrain from tapping on the glass. Tipping is not practiced in Japan, so simply offer a polite bow or a simple thank you to the staff after interactive feeding sessions.
Special Events & Experiences
Enhanced experiences and seasonal highlights
-
Winter Penguin Parade: During the snowy Hokkaido winter months, penguins waddle through the snow in a special outdoor parade.
-
Night Aquarium Illuminations: Select evenings during peak summer and winter holiday seasons feature special after-hours lighting and extended castle illuminations.
-
Halloween and Christmas Castle Decorations: The European castle is elaborately decorated with thematic marine-inspired ornaments during the autumn and winter festive seasons.
Important Guidelines & Safety
Essential safety information and guidelines
-
The floors near the outdoor marine pools and touch tanks can become slippery from water splashes, so wear shoes with good grip.
-
Keep a close eye on young children near the open aquarium railings and glass barriers to prevent accidental bumps or falls.
-
Follow all staff instructions during animal feeding and touch sessions to ensure both your safety and the well-being of the marine life.
