Marine Garden @ Sunshine Aquarium @ Ikebukuro
The Sunshine City Aquarium in Sunshine City is an interesting aquarium with many creatures, including some animals like frogs, pelicans, and snakes, which are not technically aquatic. It has several unusual display areas, including a tank supported in the air so you can watch fish swim and see the sky through it from below. The facility was recently remodeled to have greater water volume.
