Located in Edogawa Ward, Tokyo Sea Life Park is an aquarium with many attractions, including one of the largest penguin exhibits in Japan and bluefin tuna swimming in a large 2,200-ton donut-shaped tank.
The aquarium is home to more than 600 species of marine life from around the world. There are only a few aquariums in Japan where tuna swim, so it is well worth seeing.
To access the aquarium, get off at Kasai Rinkai Koen Station on the JR or Keiyo Line and walk for about 5 minutes. Buses are also available via the Tokyo Metropolitan Bus, Keisei Bus (Kannana Shuttle Bus), and the water bus (Tokyo Waterfront Line).
