▶ https://www.kodansha.co.jp/book/products/0000424777

This long-awaited revised edition comes 7 years after the previous work. While maintaining the concept of comprehensive interviews at each facility, it fully covers newly opened and extensively renovated facilities, bringing together the latest information on 129 aquariums. Many of the photos have been newly taken, dramatically improving visual beauty and realism.

"Hajime Nakamura's Super Aquarium Osaka Night 2026" to be Held! Celebrating the 10th Time!

To commemorate the publication of "New Edition: Comprehensive Visit Interviews: Hajime Nakamura's Guide to 129 Aquariums Nationwide," a talk event will be held with the author, aquarium producer Hajime Nakamura! Following the Tokyo event on June 21st, "Super Aquarium Night" will also be held in Osaka.

This event will reveal the behind-the-scenes story of the creation of "Guide to Aquariums Nationwide," which Hajime Nakamura has been writing as his life's work for the past 20 years. It will also explore the "real changes in modern aquariums" that he observed while covering sites nationwide for the latest revised edition.

From the author's unique sharp perspective, expect explosive, here-and-now insider stories that couldn't quite fit into the book due to page count or adult considerations (?).

Please enjoy the passionate and sharp "Hajime Nakamura-bushi" from a prime seat!

Hajime Nakamura (Hajime Nakamura)

Born in Mie Prefecture in 1956. After graduating from Seijo University, he joined Toba Aquarium. He served as vice director after starting as a sea lion trainer and then head of the planning department. He demonstrated his skills as a key figure in the sea otter boom, including providing footage for TBS programs such as "Waku Waku Dobutsu Land" and "Doubutsu Kiso Tengai." After going independent in 2002, he has been active as a "crowd-pulling consultant," leading numerous facilities to miraculous increases in visitors through unique marketing and innovative exhibits that turn weaknesses into strengths, such as at "New Enoshima Aquarium," "Sunshine Aquarium," and "Kita Daichi no Aquarium." He continues to develop the latest exhibits at several aquariums both domestically and internationally. He is also an honorary school principal for the Jikei COM Group and lectures on museum exhibition theory at Kitasato University's Curator Course.
