Supervised by :  ORIX Real Estate Corporation

This aquarium is located on the 5th and 6th floors of the West Yard in Tokyo Skytree Town.
It is entirely indoors, and its proprietary artificial seawater production system creates clear, attractive tanks that provide a comfortable environment for the animals.
Guided by the concept “The closer you get, the more you’ll love them,” the aquarium lets visitors observe its animals up close.
Highlights include penguins swimming freely in an open pool spanning the 5th and 6th floors, the Tokyo Large Tank themed after the seas around Tokyo’s 219 islands, including the Ogasawara Islands, and Edorium, which displays about 20 colorful varieties of goldfish. With exhibits presented in many different ways, it is easy to forget that the aquarium is inside a building.
There is also a shop selling original merchandise and a cafe where visitors can relax and take their time.

Highlights

  • An urban aquarium that can be visited together with Tokyo Skytree.
  • Because it is indoors, it can be enjoyed even on rainy days.
  • At night, the lighting changes to create an enchanting atmosphere.
  • Many chairs are placed in front of the tanks, allowing visitors to sit and watch the animals at their leisure.
  • Visitors may bring in food and drinks and consume them anywhere inside the aquarium.
  • The aquarium cafe also serves original cocktails, making an evening stroll through the exhibits with a drink in hand an enjoyable option for adults.
  • Photography and video recording are permitted, but flash photography is strictly prohibited.

    Located on the 5th and 6th floors of the West Yard at Tokyo Skytree Town, Sumida Aquarium is a stylish indoor aquarium. It uses an artificial seawater system to maintain a comfortable environment for the animals, and its open, up-close exhibits let visitors get closer to marine life and experience a different kind of aquarium charm.

    Although it isn’t very large, there weren’t many visitors that day, so it was quite relaxing to walk around〜 But I actually came here with one very clear purpose: to see the penguins! Watching them swim back and forth and waddle around was almost too cute. It turned into a little trip where I came for the penguins but ended up feeling soothed by the entire aquarium.

    The modern Sumida Aquarium, located inside Tokyo Skytree Town!
    The interior is beautifully designed, and the huge open tanks let you observe penguins and seals up close. The dreamy jellyfish area combines lighting and music to create an incredibly soothing atmosphere. There are also tropical fish and aquatic plant displays brimming with marine life, and every corner is highly photogenic. It's a great place to relax after visiting Tokyo Skytree and is perfect for couples or families with children!

    The aquarium isn't very big, but the design is really well done and feels high quality. The penguins are absolutely adorable, and you can get close enough to watch them play and interact with each other.
