Walk through an underwater tunnel tank and watch dolphin, sea lion and seal shows at Shinagawa Aquarium, a friendly aquarium in Shinagawa City near Tokyo Bay. It opened in 1991 with the theme of “getting close to the water”, and tickets cost about half of the big aquariums in central Tokyo, which makes it a good choice for families.
