Sumida Aquarium

Sumida Aquarium, located right inside Tokyo Skytree, is a fantastic experience for everyone, whether you're visiting with kids or, like me, an adult who simply loves aquariums. The location makes it incredibly easy to access, especially if you're already exploring the Skytree area. While the aquarium definitely has a kid-friendly vibe, with interactive displays and exhibits that younger visitors would love, I still found plenty to enjoy as an adult. The variety of marine life is impressive, with a mix of species that kept us engaged the whole time.

We spent about an hour wandering through the exhibits, taking the time to read all the information and really appreciate the beauty of the fish. The tanks are well-maintained and offer great views from different angles, allowing you to feel close to the marine life. One fun and quirky feature is their food and drink offerings, which include drinks with cute penguin-shaped ice cubes—such a fun touch that added to the overall experience.

The staff was very friendly and welcoming, making the visit even more pleasant. Another bonus is how spacious the aquarium is. Even though it's a popular spot, it never felt crowded, and there’s plenty of room outside for strollers, which is a thoughtful convenience for families. If you're visiting Tokyo Skytree, I highly recommend stopping by Sumida Aquarium. It's a great way to relax and enjoy some peaceful time with marine life, no matter your age.
