The rooftop garden of JR Hakata City is home to “Sky Aquarium” until the end of August. Originating in Roppongi Hills (Tokyo) this event comes to Fukuoka for the first time. Although the aquarium space isn’t on a large-scale, it’s worth a visit to see a range of incredible sea creatures including the “Banded Houndshark,” “Marbled Cat Shark,” and other 2m-long sharks. Disney/Pixar fans will be excited to see a tank full of “Nemo and Dory” fish from “Finding Nemo”. Roll up your sleeves and prepare to get your hands wet on August 30 (Sat.) and 31 (Sun.), with a touch pool event. The Sky Aquarium is open 10:00~23:00 until the end of the month; it’s ideal for a family outing or a romantic date.
