No visit to the acquarium is complete without watching the dolphin show!

The aquarium celebrated the release of Hayao Miyazaki's latest animated film, Gake no Ue no Ponyo (崖の上のポニョ, "Ponyo on the Cliff"), by setting up special tanks with fishes and toys from the movie.

One of the tanks in the Epson Aqua Stadium, I think it was the tropical one...

Isn't the merry-go-round pretty? I was sorely tempted!

The fancy sea-life décor at the entrance of Epson Aqua Stadium.

Epson Aqua Stadium is located in Shinagawa Prince Hotel (品川プリンスホテル), a couple hundred meters from Shinagawa Station. While it isn't the largest aquarium in Tokyo, it probably is the easiest to reach, and provides great entertainment for people of all ages. The entrance to the aquarium also gives access to pirate-themed restaurants, a sea-life-themed merry-go-round (and apparently a roller-coaster too!), and even a multiplex movie theatre.
