This aquarium is spotted on the tenth floor of Sunshine City, a colossal shopping complex. The aquarium is advertised as the "highest aquarium in the world" and the "Oasis in the Sky". The aquarium is on two levels and there are both indoor and outside showcases. The aquarium is home to around 60,000 fish and water creatures, among the most famous are the dolphins, seals, penguins, sunfish, stingrays and obviously sharks. A portion of the highlights incorporate the "Sunshine Aqua Ring" where you can see ocean lions swimming above you and the "Jellyfish Tunnel" where you can stroll through a tunnel in the water and see jellyfish swimming surrounding you. One of the aquarium tanks holds 120 tons of water. Guests can see the fish being bolstered on the hour and watch seal exhibitions.

Other fascinating animals in the aquarium are water spiders from Izu Bay; frogs; snakes; flamingos and other exotic birds; snails and fish from Cuba. There is a presentation of crisp water fish which has been made to resemble the animals' characteristic environment in the Amazon basin. The aquarium is decently composed and sign posted with great utilization of light and sound to add to the environment.
