Katsurahama Aquarium
An aquarium founded in 1931 on the beach of Katsurahama, famous for moon viewing, mainly showing fish of Tosa Bay. The shoal of "akame" (Japanese lates), a giant fish anglers dream of, is a must-see; visitors can learn while feeding many creatures, and the staff's funny display signs and fish explanations are not to be missed.
