Researched guide · Checked on Nov 1, 2026

The Art Aquarium Museum GINZA is a goldfish art museum inside Ginza Mitsukoshi department store. Goldfish swim in tanks designed as works of art, set in rooms built with bamboo by the architect Kengo Kuma and decorated with flower arrangements by Shogo Kariyazaki. Its run in Ginza ends on January 6, 2027, so this winter is the last chance to see it here.

What you see

• Goldfish as art: tanks of many shapes, lit like an art installation. The museum names wakin, ryukin, oranda shishigashira, ranchu and pearlscale among the goldfish on show.
• Bamboo architecture by Kengo Kuma, the architect of Japan National Stadium, and flower arrangements by Shogo Kariyazaki placed among the tanks.
• A closer look at rare goldfish: according to the Klook listing, a newer showcase displays rare breeds in clear, open-top basins.
• Photos: the Klook listing says photos and videos are allowed inside. The museum’s own photo tips suggest using the light from the tanks instead of a flash.
