    Penguins, Ogasawara sealife, and goldfish

    When you're at Skytree, don't pass up a chance to see this beautiful aquarium. The Magellanic penguins in a spacious indoor pool is fun because the penguins people watch as much as the visitors watch them. While many penguin habitats can be quite odiferous, this one surprised me because it simply smelled like the seaside. The aquarium uses artificial seawater. If you haven't made the trip to the Ogasawara Islands to see the tropical sea life, the deep tank housing dozens of species is a good introduction. The aquarium also has a huge goldfish collection. Admission is steep, but an annual pass for 5500 yen is a steal for frequent visitors.

    A beautiful experience

    Sumida Aquarium is a small but new aquarium which has assembled not only different kinds of fish but also penguins and jellyfish. The fish tanks were very clean so you can fully enjoy the beautiful colors of the fishes, jellyfish and penguins and it becomes easy to take nice photos. The jellyfish came in different sizes all beautifully fluorescent. The penguin "tank" was viewable from all different angles! You could watch the penguins inside the tank swimming and it looked they were flying in the sea. The aquarium also made a big poster with all the different relationships between the penguins which seemed to be quite complicated but was also simply hilarious. Overall it was a very enjoyable and funny experience! The entrance is located on the 5th floor of Sky Tree Town Solamachi. I recommend going on a weekday as it won't be as crowded as on the weekend. Price for adults is 2100 yen, for high school students it's 1500 yen.
