Tokyo Sea Life Park, Public aquarium in Kasai Rinkai Park, Japan
Tokyo Sea Life Park is a public aquarium in Kasai Rinkai Park that houses a 2,200-ton donut-shaped tank under a 30-meter glass dome, where bluefin tuna swim in circular patterns. The postmodern glass and concrete architecture includes several themed zones with marine life from different oceans.
The aquarium opened on October 10, 1989, following a design by architect Yoshio Taniguchi and received the BCS Prize for architectural excellence. The facility was developed as part of Kasai Rinkai Park to bring marine life from near and far to visitors.
The penguin enclosure is one of the largest in Japan and presents several species in recreated natural habitats that show visitors different climate zones. Guests observe Humboldt and King penguins living in areas with varying temperatures and landscapes.
The facility is a one-minute walk from JR Kasai Rinkai Park Station and offers guided tours led by trained animal interpreters available throughout the day. Visitors can inquire at the entrance about current programs to learn more about the species on display.
The facility uses 3,000 tons of seawater monthly, transported from Hachijojima Island, to maintain optimal conditions for the tuna and shark exhibits. This water is carefully treated and filtered before entering the various tanks.
