Coral reefs are well developed around the "Southwest Islands", an archipelago stretching from Yakushima, Tanegashima to Yoron Island. Kagoshima aquariums are displayed under the themes of "Kuroshio Sea", "Southwest Islands Sea" on the 2nd floor, and "Kagoshima Sea" centered on Jinjiang Bay on the 4th floor.
