[Tokyo/Ikebukuro] The Flying Aquarium Sunshine Aquarium

Sunshine Aquarium is located on the rooftop of "Sunshine City" in Ikebukuro, truly a "flying aquarium."
Right in the heart of the city, it offers a unique aquarium experience filled with extraordinary relaxation and surprises 🐟

Its greatest charm lies in the creative aquarium displays that take advantage of its location "above the sky," surrounded by urban skyscrapers.
With the concept of an "Oasis in the Sky," you can enjoy the sensation of fish swimming through the air.
Especially, the outdoor "Sunshine Aqua Ring" is a must-see!
A transparent tube-shaped tank crosses overhead, and you can look up from below to see sea lions and penguins swimming leisurely—an experience you can only have here 🐧
The "Sky Penguins," which look like penguins flying in the sky, are also perfect for social media photos.

Inside the aquarium, you can encounter colorful tropical fish, unique jellyfish, otters, frogs, and a diverse array of creatures gathered from around the world.
There are also extensive exhibits of rare freshwater fish and deep-sea creatures that can only be seen here, allowing you to experience the ecology and diversity of life with all your senses.

Additionally, seasonal special exhibitions and events, feeding sessions, and performances by keepers are popular!
There are many features that let you feel the "cuteness" and "fun" of each animal up close, creating a space where both adults and children can be captivated.

Furthermore, at night, you can enjoy the "different expressions" of the creatures in a fantastical atmosphere illuminated by lights.
It’s perfect for a nighttime aquarium date or refreshing yourself after work.
