The Last Art Aquarium
Art Aquarium, I’m going to miss you! <sob!>
Yes, this is the last year they’re going to produce this eye-popping cross between goldfish and SFX, and they’re making up for the last few lackluster seasons by putting on the equivalent of a fireworks grand finale!
And they added one installation that put a crink in my neck, because I stared up at it for so long: Goldfish Ceiling!
Dates: August 6 – September 23 (2019)
Hours: 11:00 – 22:30
Admission: Adults: ¥1000, Children: ¥600*
You can buy tickets online or get them at the door – sometimes there’s a line (especially in the last few days before it closes) but usually you can just buy a ticket at the reception desk and walk right in.
* There are a few nights when admission is higher because of the entertainment. Check the “Night Aquarium” special events calendar for details

Writing mystery books set in Tokyo is mostly what I do, but I also blog about the odd stuff I see every day in Japan. I'm a graduate of Stanford University and the Sendagaya Japanese Institute in Tokyo, and a member of the International Thriller Writers, the Mystery Writers of America, and Sisters In Crime. When I'm not in Tokyo, I live in San Francisco. I also host a travel site called The Tokyo Guide I Wish I'd Had, so if you're headed to Japan and want to check out the places I take my friends when they're in town, take a look!
Oh, this is awesome! I wish I could have seen this!
I wish you could see it too! It’s one of those things that photos can’t quite capture. I hope you have a chance to go to Tokyo someday and walk around yourself, but until then, I’ll do my best to bring it to you on a silver platter ^_^
And a wonderful silver platter it is! Thank you for sharing!
Thanks Jonelle have bookmarked this one for our next trip to Japan looks wonderful. Hope you are well 🙂
Waaah, sadly, this will be the last Art Aquarium, according to the statement posted at the entrance this year ( ; _ ; ) My only consolation is that the reason given was that the creator wants to work on other projects, which I’m hoping might be even better than this one…
Waaah wahhh ( ; _ ; ) damn. Although Im sure other luminous things will pop up in its place
They will! And I’ll try to stay on top of them, because I want to see all the sparkly things too ^^;;
Aw, man. More stuff to miss, but I do take comfort that others will be missing this, too. Your pictures are world-class, as always.
I swear I can see the fish swimming around even though these are stills!
Dang, I actually have some video, but did I put it up? Oops, forgot (><;;) So glad that the pix still gave you the general idea!
And HA, I used to not be able to go into the Kinokuniya book store in SF’s Japantown for a month after I came back from Tokyo, because I’d see magazines reporting on stuff that was GOING ON WITHOUT ME (ha!) Fortunately, you live in a place that is equally (if not more) filled with awesome delights, so I hope any pain is fleeting
Nicely said, my friend.
