Oasis in the Sky "Sunshine Aquarium" - A Journey in the Sky

  • Tokyo
  • Sightseeing
The Marine Garden, located in the outdoor area of the Sunshine Aquarium, provides a natural environment filled with sky, light, water, and greenery that is unique among urban aquariums, allowing visitors to enjoy the ecology of living creatures at close range while feeling a sense of openness, transparency, and dynamism that is hard to imagine on the roof of a building. After sunset, the space transforms into a magical and healing environment.

The world's first "Penguins in the Sky

This is an aquarium tank with a sense of freedom with a width of approximately 12 meters. You can see Cape penguins swimming above the city buildings and flapping their wings above your head when you look up. It is a space unique to the Sunshine Aquarium, where you are not sure whether you are in the sky or in the water.
The large overhanging tank has a transparent acrylic front wall, so everything in front of you, from the top of your head to the front of the tank, is a transparent sky through the water where the Cape penguins live.

The world's first "Penguins in the Meadow

Cape Town, South Africa, where wild Cape penguins live, has sandy beaches and grasslands nearby. This exhibit offers a glimpse into the lives of the original Cape penguins.
You can see the Cape penguins at close range. There is also a burrow, so you may be able to see a pair of Cape penguins, which are said to have a strong bond with each other, living in harmony and raising their young.

Japan's first "Sunshine Aquaring

The "Sunshine Aquaring" exhibit tank, where sea lions swim above your head. At night, the waves on the surface of the water are projected by light, and the light from the fiberglass is blown by the wind, creating a space where no two scenes are the same for a moment, thanks to the power of nature.
