Do you know about the Art Aquarium Museum GINZA located on the 8th floor of the new building of Ginza Mitsukoshi? The Japanese culture of appreciating goldfish, which has continued since the Edo period, is expressed as an art aquarium in the modern age. The colorful goldfish swimming gracefully in the darkness are so beautiful that you will forget the time, and you will experience an extraordinary world as if you have come to a different world!

A realistic exhibition of traditional Japanese beauty

≪Inomelium

There are many exhibits featuring Japanese traditions and culture. The "Goldfish Corridor," reminiscent of temple and shrine architecture, and the "Inome-rium," featuring inome, a motif often seen in Shinto shrines and Buddhist temples. The heart-shaped inome is said to have the meaning of driving away evil and inviting good fortune! Visitors can enjoy not only the sight but also the music and aroma of the beautiful Japanese "harmony" with all their senses. The Art Aquarium is a permanent facility, so you can enjoy artworks created in collaboration with artists, and other artworks that have evolved from the previous art aquariums. Since this is a permanent facility, visitors can enjoy a seasonal experience throughout the year.

Why not find your guess goldfish?

Goldfish swim in a variety of tanks, and at the Art Aquarium Museum GINZA you can see many different types of unique goldfish. From the "Japanese goldfish" that we often see, to the "Dutch lion head type" with a hump on its head, to the "pearlescale type" with a cute round body... each type has a different atmosphere and swimming style, so you can keep looking at them forever. Even the same type of goldfish has different patterns and colors, so it may be fun to find your favorite goldfish!

You can take photos that will look great on SNS!

≪Goldfish Corridor

It is dark in the Art Aquarium, so you may think it is difficult to take good pictures! The Art Aquarium is dark, so you may think it is difficult to take good pictures, but in fact, it is so fantastic that you will want to press the "like" button on your social networking service! The "Goldfish Corridor" is lit up in various colors, so you can use the light from the aquarium tank of your favorite color to take elegant photos that cannot be taken with a flash, or you can lower the brightness to create silhouettes. The Museum of Art GINZA's website also has some tips for taking beautiful photos!

This exhibition will be held only in early summer! Wisteria and Hydrangea: Early Summer Kinsei 2025

≪Goldfish Waterfall × Wisteria
Wisteria and Hydrangea: Early Summer Goldfish 2025," a limited-time purple-tinted special exhibition from April 25, 2025 (Fri.) to June 22, 2025 (Sun.), is currently being held. Wisteria and hydrangea, the flowers of early summer, are in full bloom in the dimly lit museum, and the collaboration space with the illuminated goldfish is truly fantastic♪.

Wisteria and hydrangea weave a "glossy" fantasy space

≪Chochinorium × Hydrangea

The "Chochinorium" is based on the motif of "festival lanterns," a traditional Japanese lighting fixture, and is collaborated with hydrangeas for a limited time only, making the space even more enchanting. The aquarium tank shaped like a lantern makes the goldfish look bigger as if seen through a magnifying lens! In the "New Goldfish Commentary," where you can view goldfish from above, hydrangeas float in the tank, and in the "Goldfish Waterfall," where goldfish swim gracefully in a waterfall-like tank, many wisteria flowers are blooming at the top.

The Art Aquarium Museum GINZA is a recommended spot to feel cooler in this hot season, as there is much more to see in addition to the exhibitions introduced here. Please take this opportunity to experience it!
