[Tokyo/Ikebukuro] Right in the heart of Ikebukuro! Enjoy the city at Sunshine Aquarium

Introducing the urban oasis located right in the center of Tokyo Ikebukuro, the Sunshine Aquarium🌟

Although it is smaller than a typical aquarium, each exhibit is meticulously crafted, and overall, I had a very enjoyable time🐠✨

Personally, the most impressive exhibits were the octopus, cutlassfish, and penguins!

As the name suggests, the cutlassfish shines silver and has a sharp, sword-like body just like a cutlass⚔️
The penguin exhibit is a dome-shaped tank, so you can see penguins swimming smoothly right above your head◎

Be sure to visit during the upcoming summer vacation♪
