The Ice Aquarium (氷の水族館, Kōri no Suizokukan) is a tourist attraction in the north-eastern port of Kesennuma, Miyagi, Japan, operated by the Okamoto Ice Refrigeration Plant.[1] It features approximately 450 marine creatures that were flash-frozen into blocks of ice after being caught by local fishermen.[2] The attraction was established in 2002.[3] It showcases more than 70 different species of sea creatures, including crab, squid and octopus,[4] Due to the extreme cold temperature inside the Ice Aquarium, visitors are advised to stay for only five minutes.
