[Kaikyokan's Concept]
　The Earth was born 4.6 billion years ago.
　It was a fiery planet and over time, vast seas formed on its surface.
　Gradually, the tranquil inorganic waters of the sea miraculously gave rise to life.
　Thus, the sea is mother to all living creatures. Now, the sounds of the sea and its life can be heard.
　Shimonoseki KAIKYOKAN offers you a journey into the vast world of the oceans.
