::A good way to spend 2 hours. It's an aquarium on the 9th floor of a shopping complex. There exhibits are on the very cool but it'll only take 30 to 40 minutes to walk through them. The seal show was awesome. My favorite animal was the sunfish. That thing is huge!

::The outdoor area is pretty cool, but overall the aquarium is quite small, and very crowded on weekends. 2 hours is enough to see all of it, so the 2200 yen entry fee seems like not that great a deal

::Located in the top floor of the Sunshine city, this is a very unique location for an aquarium. Although not large in size, the aquarium has a nice variety of fish exhibits. The sea lion show and penguin exhibits are the main draw and usually quite crowded. The special penguin exhibit makes the penguin appear to swim through the Tokyo skyline. The price of admission can be a bit high, but I feel that it's worth it for the experience.

::Good aquarium located in the heart of Tokyo city. Once you got out from Ikebukuro station, you can follow the sign to exit 35, and then follow the people to sunshine city, not difficult for the direction. The aquarium seems small, but with enough species of fish in here. One of the highlights in this aquarium is they built a outdoor where people can stand under the pool to see penguins swimming which made you feel like they were swimming in the sky, so as to seals and pelicans. We visited this aquarium during Japan’s new year period, keeper was wearing kimono to do the feeding performance, not sure if this happened during normal days. But this is very interesting, since we never seem any aquarium has such a feeding performance with kimono. Most exhibition has Japanese and English, but some of them displays with Japanese only. Hopefully this part can be improved soon. The entrance fee for adult is ¥2,000/per person, you can also choose to buy package ticket with ¥2,800/per person, which includes the tickets to aquarium and sky observation (3/1/2018).
