Sumida Aquarium (ja:すみだ水族館, Sumida Suizokukan) is a public aquarium located on the 5th and 6th floors of the Commercial complex "Tokyo Solamachi" in Tokyo Skytree of Sumida, Tokyo.[1]

Exhibits[]

The Ogasawara Sea tank

Sumida Aquarium was built in the Commercial complex "Tokyo Solamachi" in the Tokyo Skytree, and opened in 2012 at the same time as Tokyo Skytree. It is managed by ORIX Real Estate Corporation.

Due to the seawater purification system developed by Nagaoka University of Technology and Taisei Corporation, most of the tanks are operated only by artificial seawater.[2][3]

The Ogasawara Sea tank at a depth of 6 metres (20 ft) has the motif of the sea of the Ogasawara Islands, and all the fish such as Sand Tiger Shark are wild individuals actually purchased from the Ogasawara Islands.[4][5]

Spotted garden eel was brought in 634 after the height of Tokyo Sky Tree. After that, Gorgasia and Whitespotted garden eel were added.[6]

The Penguins pool in the atrium is 24 metres (79 ft) wide and 14 metres (46 ft) deep, making it one of the largest indoor penguins pools in Japan. Magellanic penguins inhabit about 50 birds.[1]

Edo Rium is an Edo-themed goldfish exhibition zone. Renewed on July 1, 2016, 23 varieties of goldfish that have been loved since the Edo period are on display.[7] As a permanent exhibition of the member buildings of the JAZA, Japan's largest 100 metres (330 ft) long, about 1,000 goldfish are on display.[1][8]
