new sky oasis concept aquarium,
Sunshine City Aquarium
Introducing Sunshine City Aquarium, an aquarium with an oasis in the sky concept located in Ikebukuro, Tokyo. You can see penguins in the sky that give the illusion of swimming in the city sky, and as Japan's first aquarium located on a rooftop, it is loved by Tokyo citizens for its unique concept. If you travel to Ikebukuro, this is a travel destination I definitely recommend you visit.
Japan's first rooftop aquarium,
Sunshine City Aquarium
Sunshine City, located in Ikebukuro, Tokyo, is a landmark of Ikebukuro centered around the super high-rise Building 60. Sunshine City is the tallest building in Ikebukuro and was said to be the tallest building at the time of its completion. The upper floors are lined with various commercial facilities including an observatory, as well as an aquarium, theme park, planetarium, theater, leisure facilities, convention hall, shopping mall, event venue, and even mansions, making it Japan's first multi-complex urban facility.
Sunshine City Aquarium is popular for its rare fish and aquatic and terrestrial animals, and also holds the title of Japan's first rooftop aquarium. It's not too far away, so I recommend it for a light visit, whether on a date, with friends, or with family.
Meet the flying penguin
The penguin aquarium, where you can see penguins flying in the sky, is a must-see at Sunshine City Aquarium. It is hard to see penguins swimming, but you can see them very easily here. If you visit on a clear day, you can see even more beautiful penguins.
Meet colorful tropical fish
Sunshine City Aquarium is divided into an outdoor rooftop area and an indoor area. In the indoor area, you can see colorful tropical fish and even sharks in large tanks.
A photo taken at the rooftop aquarium is a must!
Taking a picture with the Sunshine City Aquarium rooftop tank will give you a unique and pretty picture. Photos of the Sunshine City Aquarium rooftop tank are already popular in Japan.
