Fodor's Expert Review Sunshine Aquarium

Ikebukuro Family

This aquarium has some 750 kinds of sea creatures on display, plus daily behind-the-scenes tours and animal feeding sessions with staff. An English-language pamphlet is available, and most of the exhibits have some English explanation. If you get tired of the sea life, head to the Manten planetarium, where you can see 400,000 stars. And if that still isn't enough to keep you occupied, try the 60th-floor Sky Circus observatory for great views of the city and virtual reality rides.
