oasis in the sky,
Meet in the heart of Tokyo
Sunshine Aquarium is an aquarium with an oasis in the sky concept located in Ikebukuro, Tokyo. Here, you can see penguins and various other creatures that seem to be flying in the sky above a forest of buildings.
The Tokyo Metro Pass, a combination product, is recommended for those traveling to Tokyo as it allows you to solve all of Tokyo's transportation needs in one go. Make a reservation at WAUG now and experience the oasis in the sky using all-purpose transportation!
Meet on a rooftop in the middle of the city
Sunshine Aquarium
Sunshine City is a complex of various commercial facilities and a landmark representing Ikebukuro, Tokyo. Let me introduce you to Sunshine Aquarium, Japan's first rooftop aquarium, located on the rooftop of that building.
Sunshine Aquarium is such a popular aquarium that tickets cannot be purchased on site and admission is only possible by purchasing tickets in advance. Sunshine Aquarium is so accessible that you can walk from two stations! I recommend it because you can visit the gorgeous city center and the amazing ocean world in one day.
Oasis in the Sky
Rather than just an aquarium located on the top floor, you can observe animals on an actual outdoor rooftop. Meet penguins and sea lions swimming as if they are soaring in the sky against the backdrop of a forest of buildings.
When the sun sets, the sea lions return home. If you want to enjoy this tank, I recommend coming during the day!
Tokyo Metro Pass
The Tokyo Metro Pass is a useful product that solves Tokyo transportation in one go. In addition to transportation, there are additional discounts at over 350 facilities, so Tokyo Metro is a must-have, not an option.
WAUG has prepared a ticket that combines Tokyo Metro and Sunshine City Aquarium tickets, so hurry up and make your reservation!
Great tip here! It's best to navigate the Tokyo Metro by looking at Google Maps. You can download the Tokyo Metro route map here! Download
