Kasai Rinkai Aquarium

Kasai Rinkai Aquarium, opened in 1989, displays about 650 kinds of animals in 47 tanks. Today this aquarium is so popular that it is included in the top five aquariums with the most annual visitors in Japan. At this Kasai Rinkai Aquarium, the first thing that catches the eye is the huge dome-shaped building. This is the "aerial glass dome" entrance reaching up to 30.7 meters, under which you can observe schools of Pacific bluefin tuna swimming around in tanks of 2,200 t water, the "oceans of the world" tank displaying fish and animals from around the world and cute penguins swimming around in one of the biggest penguin tanks in the country.

Schools of Tuna

Kasai Rinkai Aquarium is especially famous for its donut-shaped giant tank with 2,200 tons of water in it. In this tank that is built in a way that surrounds the viewers, you can see schools of tuna swimming around in a remarkable speed. The sight of these tuna swimming elegantly right in front of your eyes is a must-see.

Biggest Penguin Display in the Country

One hundred penguins of four different kinds live inside the "penguin habitat", one of the biggest of its kind in the country. The great thing about this exhibit is that you can see the penguins swimming in the tank underneath. You will be amazed by how the cute penguins wobbling from side to side jump into the water and suddenly start swimming swiftly.

Swarms of Sardines and the Shark

Inside the giant fish tank that catches your eye as you enter Kasai Rinkai Aquarium, there are impressive rays and sharks living. Especially seeing-worthy are the large schools of sardines all moving in synchronicity!  When a shark tries to swim through, the swarm parts in two in a blink of an eye. Their synchronized movement feels as if you are watching a piece of art.
