At a Glance

Sumida Aquarium is an indoor aquarium on the 5th and 6th floors of Tokyo Skytree Town in Sumida, Tokyo. It opened in 2012, the same year as Tokyo Skytree, and uses artificial seawater in all its tanks. About 260 species are on show.

The penguin pool in the atrium is one of the largest indoor pools of its kind in Japan and holds around 50 Magellanic penguins. The 6-meter-deep Ogasawara Sea tank shows fish brought from the Ogasawara Islands, a World Natural Heritage site. A jellyfish area has a 7-meter dish-shaped tank that lets visitors look down on moon jellies. The garden eel tank opened with 634 animals, matching the 634-meter height of the Skytree.
