A place worth knowing

Sunshine Aquarium divides its displays between an outdoor Marine Garden and indoor routes exploring oceans and waterside habitats. In Ikebukuro’s Sunshine City complex, it offers a change of pace from the surrounding shops and busy streets.

Plan around the exhibits you most want to see, then consult the day’s talks and experiences. Individual tanks can close for maintenance, so the aquarium’s current notices are useful when choosing the date.
