Visit this place for the firefly squids. There is an area where you get to touch and hold the squids and crabs. There is a show where we get to see the squids glow in the dark, which was amazing. Other than that, it is a small museum with little explanations in English.
We went on Tuesday, the day it is normally closed. For the firefly squid season, it is open. My advice, go on Tuesday if you are there during the firefly squid in season (March to early June). Less crowded as not many people know that it is open.
You get to see the flowing squid in the theatre in total darkness after watching a short video. No video or photography allowed in the theatre.
You also get to play with the firefly squid. They provide a few basins of them in a round big pool.
Due to weather conditions, our boat ride was cancelled. However, they made up for it by offering a free museum visit (touching the firefly squid and you get to eat one too!), video, and pictures (those touristy professional ones).
Great place to take the kids to witness glowing squids.
Muesum has excellent exhibitions on sea-life,.. however the petting pool where kids are torturing various animals is not so nice.
Worth taking your kids and teaching them to respect sea-life.
The information panel at the Hotaruika Museum was only in Japanese, but the illustrations clearly explained the biological system of Hotaruika. Noted on my wonder-tips site.
