Opened in 1991 inside Shinagawa Kumin Park, which sits right next to the canal, this aquarium is themed around “Connecting with the Sea and Rivers.” It features around 4,000 sea creatures from approx 450 species. Through shows and seasonal events, you can get up close with the fish, observe them, and learn more about their world.

There’s a giant tunnel aquarium, a jellyfish zone, and a seal pavilion. Dolphin, sea lion, and seal shows are held every day. You’ll also find restaurants and shops outside the main building.

The floating restaurant “Dolphin” is a family-friendly spot known for its delicious vegetables and a wide variety of menu options. At the marine shop “Seagull,” you’ll find original goods inspired by sea creatures-perfect for picking up a souvenir.

    Watching the fish swim around so freely really helped me relax. It was super soothing.

  • You can enjoy the dolphin show from every angle in the 360-degree circular theater. Really cool experience!

  • There are actually two aquariums in Shinagawa—one at the Prince Hotel and this one, Shinagawa Aquarium, which mainly features marine life from Tokyo Bay. The dolphins, seals, and penguins are especially popular here. Even though it's not as big or fancy as some other aquariums, I still found it really charming and highly recommend it.

  • The pearl experience was a lot of fun! Using simple tools, I got to take a perfectly round pearl out of a shell. It was big, round, and beautiful. I also had it made into a necklace, which turned out to be a really special keepsake.

  • So beautiful. Jellyfish.
