Sunshine City Aquarium

Sunshine City Aquarium Today we took the Yamanote line to Ikebukuro station and walked to Sunshine City, which is a large complex containing shopping malls, eateries etc. as well as the Sunshine Aquarium (¥2400 each) and the Konica Minolta planetarium (¥1700 each) which are on the top floor of the World Import Mart building in Sunshine City. The Aquarium was very good, although the tanks for larger species were a bit small, but otherwise there was a good selection of fish etc. As far as the planetarium went, the venue and seating is great, but the graphics were very elementary and low resolution and blurry, and we were quite disappointed to be honest. Also at the time we went (Feb 2023) due to continuing covid restrictions, they don’t provide equipment for the English translation, which made the story rather meaningless. So overall we would rate it as not worth going to. We had a very nice lunch at Izukogen Kenny’s House Café in the mall. Check out Sherrie
