Do you ever wonder where to go on a rainy day date?

In such a case, I would recommend an aquarium. Not only can you enjoy the aquarium indoors without worrying about the weather, but the fantastic lighting and beautiful aquarium displays are perfect for a romantic date.

There are many unique aquariums in Tokyo, making it the perfect place for couples to visit. In this issue, we will introduce four carefully selected fantastic aquariums in Tokyo where you can create wonderful memories even on a rainy day.

1. Sumida Aquarium

Located at the foot of the Tokyo Skytree, the Sumida Aquarium is a spot where visitors can enjoy the fantastic world of the sea in the middle of the city. The interior of the aquarium is decorated with subdued lighting and modern interior design, creating a sophisticated atmosphere.

Of particular note is the “Penguin Pool,” one of the largest indoor open-air aquariums in Japan. This tank can be observed from anywhere in a 360-degree angle, allowing visitors to get up close and personal with the penguins as they swim freely. In the “Jellyfish Zone,” blue lights illuminated by jellyfish drift fantastically, making your time together even more special.

In addition, visitors can enjoy cute sweets featuring penguins at the attached café. It is a wonderful way to end a date with a chat over sweets.
