See the amazing sea lions at the “OASIS in the sky” at the Ikebukuro Sunshine International Aquarium!
From the Tokyo Metro Yuraku-Cho line Higashi-Ikebukuro station there is an underground passage to the World Import Mart building. It is about a 5-minute walk. Inside the building you will find Sunshine City and the Sunshine International Aquarium (サンシャイン水族館). A major attraction at the aquarium, the “Oasis in the Sky” was renovated in 2011. Another attraction, the Sunshine Aqua ring (a doughnut-shaped water tank on the roof) where you can look from underneath and watch sea creatures swim against the background sky is very popular. It is even more amazing when lit up at night!
From young children to adults are very happy exploring the Aquarium!
There are so many things to see at the aquarium. On the first floor there is “ocean journey” with a giant tank called the “sunshine lagoon.” It is filled with things such as sharks and whale sharks, corals, ocean sunfish, and jellyfish! on the second floor is “water’s journey”, with a theme of world rivers and oceans. It has creatures that live in the Amazon river, some lakes and the great barrier reef! On the roof you will see the “Sunshine Aka Ring” and sea lions. The penguin feeding time is also a must see!
A great spot for couples!
Sunshine international Aquarium is a popular place for couples. In addition to the usual date of movies, shopping, and dining you can add a trip to the Aquarium for a special feeling! We especially recommend the “Marin Garden”, a rooftop beach resort-style café where you can relax while watching the animals and trees. It is an excellent place for couples to enjoy day or night!
