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.

    The ticket price is about average, not especially expensive, but whether it feels worth it really depends on the person.

    The jellyfish area is really beautiful—you kind of zone out just watching it.
    The dolphin show felt like they put real effort into it. Kids will definitely be super excited.

    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.
