Penguins Swim Through the City Sky!
This aquarium is built on the roof of a building in Sunshine City, a large-scale commercial facility in Ikebukuro. It is made up of three areas: “Sky Journey,” “Ocean Journey,” and “Waterfront Journey.”
In “Sky Journey,” the outdoor area, you’ll find an approximately 12-meter-wide overhanging tank called “Penguins in the Sky,” where you can see African penguins swimming around as if they’re flying over the city.
On the 1st floor of the main building you’ll find the “Ocean Journey,” where you can see a variety of sea creatures, making it feel like you’re walking through the ocean.
On the 2nd floor of the main building is the “Waterfront Journey,” where you can see creatures that live in rivers, lakes, and coastal waters.

The space is small but very well designed. It's really fun to see the sea creatures up close. Perfect for families with kids—such a warm and enjoyable experience!
The aquarium has lots of rare aquatic animals and plants. There are also both indoor and outdoor shows that are definitely worth checking out.
Sunshine Aquarium has been around for a while, but it always feels fresh since they keep updating the facilities. The feeding shows are pretty fun, and we happened to catch a time when you could get close to the small animals. Kids will love it here.
