Kamogawa Seaworld in Kamogawa City, Chiba Prefecture, will host the "Aquarium Exploration Plan" for three days only on March 14 (Sat), 20 (Fri, Public Holiday), and 28 (Sat), 2026. This special late program allows visitors to enjoy the aquarium from dusk through the evening hours after regular closing time.

The "Aquarium Exploration Plan" is an approximately 3.5-hour late program where staff guides take guests through the aquarium after closing. After enjoying behind-the-scenes tours and commemorative photos with belugas at the Marine Theater, dinner awaits at Restaurant "Ocean" - the only restaurant in eastern Japan where diners can watch orcas swimming underwater while eating. The program concludes with "Night Adventure," where aquarium staff guide visitors through the facility to observe the animals in their nighttime state.

Program participants are guaranteed parking (parking fee of 1,200 yen separately required) and can enter Kamogawa Seaworld from the morning of the event day, enjoying a full day at the aquarium before participating in this program. The "Aquarium Exploration Plan," which allows visitors to enjoy the aquarium after hours in an exclusive atmosphere, will begin accepting reservations on the official website from February 3 (Tue), 2026.
