Fusion of digital and real "Pantanal Area

A short walk from the station! Is this an aquarium? A zoo? Or...?

1 minute walk from the East Exit of JR Kawasaki Station. Kawasui Kawasaki Aquarium" is located on the 9th and 10th floors of Kawasaki Leflon. An aquarium in a building? If you are wondering why an aquarium is in a building, please come and visit. More than 300 kinds of living creatures are exhibited in a limited space with various innovations. Some of the areas may make you feel as if you are actually indoors. Some of the areas are so large that you might think you are actually indoors. Kawasui is an urban entertainment aquarium based on the concept of "being a little different from an aquarium or a zoo.

Enjoy the latest digital technology!

Kawasui uses "environmental exhibits" that focus on exhibiting living creatures in their actual living conditions, and the floors, which are divided into eight zones and areas, are staged using the latest digital technology to change into different spaces during the day and at night. In the Tama River Zone, a video showing the scenery of the Tama River as it moves from upstream to downstream is projected, and the aquarium tanks in the foreground allow visitors to see the creatures that inhabit the river.

If you get tired, take a break at the Komorebi Cafe!

Komorebi Cafe on the 9th floor is a green-filled cafe based on the concept of a forest. We recommend the Soraneko Float topped with cat cookies and homemade hot lemonade. Kawasui original label beer and fried domestic catfish are also popular. For those who want to eat well, try the pasta or omu-rice. After you have eaten, you can resume your tour.
