Weekday mornings at opening are best for quieter galleries and clearer photo ops; avoid late afternoons, weekends and school holidays when local crowds swell.
Budget tips
Adult admission is about 2,300 JPY, high school and university rates near 1,500 JPY, children discounted; no regular free-entry days, but an annual pass pays off after two visits and online or Tokyo Skytree combo tickets often give small savings.

About
Gyors tények: A compact, modern aquarium stacks exhibits across multiple levels, letting you watch penguins glide beneath observation decks and jellyfish drift in illuminated tanks. Many displays showcase over 350 species in close-up windows, blending minimalist design with hands-on educational touch tanks.
Kiemelkedő helyek: Under soft LED lighting, the jellyfish gallery turns into a silent, color-shifting ballet, where translucent bells pulse like living lanterns and shadowed tentacles trace delicate patterns. Keepers perform a calming dim-light ritual before evening viewings, the air smelling faintly of sea salt while the tanks glow, so you can hear gentle splashes and see penguins bob within a few meters of the glass.
Insider tips
- Arrive at opening on weekdays to avoid school groups and after-work crowds.
- Check the daily schedule for penguin feedings and diver talks and be at the main tank ten minutes early.
- Jellyfish dome and the top-level glass wall offer the best photos, use a fast lens and raise ISO instead of flash.
- Buy tickets online to skip the queue, or get a Skytree combo ticket for a bundled price.
