All the details about your upcoming adventure in one place
Escape the bustle of Tokyo's streets and ascend to the 5th floor of Tokyo Skytree Town for a mesmerizing evening at Sumida Aquarium. As the sun sets, the aquarium transforms into the 'Blue Night' experience, where lights dim to a deep azure and calm music sets a romantic, dreamlike atmosphere. Unlike traditional aquariums with fixed routes, Sumida encourages free wandering through its artistic zones. Marvel at the 'Big Schale,' an oval basin tank where 500 jellyfish float like moonbeams, and watch Magellanic penguins glide through one of Japan's largest indoor open pools. With a cocktail from the Penguin Cafe in hand, this is a sophisticated, sensory-rich night out in the heart of Sumida.

Real experiences from real travelers
The Blue Night experience was absolutely stunning. It's not a huge aquarium, but the layout is beautiful and the jellyfish tank is mesmerizing. A perfect chill spot after visiting the Skytree.
Went here with my girlfriend after dinner at Solamachi. The atmosphere after 6 PM is very romantic with the dimmed lights and music. The gold fish area (Edorium) is very artistic.
We bought the combo ticket with Skytree. The aquarium is modern and clean. The penguins are adorable! It was a bit crowded even at night, but the open flow helps. Good value.
I've been to many aquariums, but the Big Schale here is unique. Seeing jellyfish from above without a glass cover is cool. The staff were friendly and the facility is spotless.
A small but very well-designed aquarium. The Japanese aesthetic in the goldfish section is beautiful. Perfect for a 90-minute visit before heading back to the hotel.
