Oasis in the sky,
Meet in the heart of Tokyo
Sunshine Aquarium is a concept aquarium in the sky located in Ikebukuro, Tokyo. Here, you can meet penguins and various creatures that seem to fly in the sky above the forest of buildings. The Tokyo Metro Pass, a combined product, is recommended for those traveling to Tokyo as it solves all of Tokyo’s transportation needs in one go. Book now at Wag and use the all-purpose transportation to meet the sky oasis!
Meet on a rooftop in the middle of the city
Sunshine Aquarium
Sunshine City is a complex of various commercial facilities and is a landmark representing Ikebukuro, Tokyo. I will introduce you to Japan's first rooftop aquarium, Sunshine Aquarium, located on the roof of the building.
Sunshine Aquarium is so popular that tickets cannot be purchased on site and can only be purchased in advance. Sunshine Aquarium is easily accessible, as it is within walking distance of two stations! I recommend it because you can visit the gorgeous city center and the wonderful ocean world in one day.
Oasis in the Sky
You can observe animals not just in an aquarium located on the top floor, but on an actual outdoor rooftop. Meet penguins and sea lions swimming as if they are flying in the sky with the forest of buildings in the background.
When the sun goes down, the sea lions return to their homes. If you want to enjoy this tank, we recommend coming during the day!
Tokyo Metro Pass
The Tokyo Metro Pass is a one-stop solution for Tokyo transportation. In addition to transportation, there are additional discounts at over 350 facilities, so the Tokyo Metro is not an option but a must-have. Wag has prepared a ticket that combines the Tokyo Metro and Sunshine City Aquarium tickets, so hurry and reserve now!
