Penguins, tuna and more
The aquarium has a number of unmissable attractions within its dome-shaped building. The penguin enclosure, one of the country's largest, houses three different types of penguins. In the large, donut-shaped tank are various types of tuna, which visitors can view from a number of angles. There are also large displays of kelp and seabirds, and a bird sanctuary next to the aquarium.
Personal and hands-on
Hands-on experiences await at the touch pool, and there are regular feeding times for the tuna and the penguins. In 2012, the aquarium hit the headlines when one of the penguins escaped and wasn't recaptured again for almost three months. The escaped penguin was able to thrive in Tokyo Bay until its keeper managed to recapture him.
