Ginza aquarium

Yay! The Sony Aquarium is back up! Love this about summer in Tokyo.

wonder if the shark gets hungry and eats the other fish in the tank?

I went to an aquarium in Busan, and the main exhibit was a floor-to-ceiling shark tank with four or five nurse sharks (the biggest was 8' long) and about 300 smaller fish, each about 1-2' long. The smaller fish (read: the hors d'oeuvres) ALL SWAN IN UNISON with the shark's rhythm to avoid attracting his attention, as an injured fish might. It was an eerie and surprisingly suspenseful sight -- nature's unpredictable tensions could have erupted at any time...

umbrellas in the summer.. ô_o as weird as those long dark gloves some women wears to drive on sunny mornings..reminds me kitana/mileena

The guy in the hat on the right is one of the disappointed to find out this isn't a new sushi restaurant.

Looks sunny to me in the picture, hence the parasols. Last summer the fish came from Churami aquarium in Okinawa- was quite impressive. Must have a look and see if the fish are from Churami this year too.

@Badge213 > LOL

I guess some were disappointed to find out that this wasn't a new sushi restaurant.

some14some, actually it's quite sunny in the picture. Look at the bus or cab in the background. You'd rather the elderly get skin cancer?

Shark meat cooked with cumin seeds, turmeric and spicy cinnamon is just yummy. And me not Japanese saying it.

wonder if the shark gets hungry and eats the other fish in the tank? Maybe sharks don't eat their roomates...hehehe

All urban sharks have attitude.

Gw: Some of these fish can be quite expensive, so I doubt they meet their demise. I think in the past they have borrowed them from large aquariums.

GW, they get sent to other Aquarium once Sony have finished, can't remember which one but they have a sign outside the tank explaining it.

I always wondered what happened to these fish when they get swapped out over the year, Sony must have a public aquarium somewhere or perhaps they go straight to tsukiji when they swap themes...........

paulinusa-- thank you for that, I actually feel better about the poor thing now, haha.

DON'T EAT ME, JUST LOOK OK !!!! You know someone is saying oshii ne !!!

kokorocloud:Saw this a couple of summers ago and the tank was fairly large. Also, cameras can make things appear larger than they are, so that shark is probably not that big.

Is that a fish burried under the sand on the left hand side?

LOL it's almost like everyone outside is thinking: "How nice it would be inside that tank on this hot day!"

While the shark and fish are thinking: "How it would be nice to have as much room as the humans have to move around."

It might just be the angle, but that tank doesn't look big enough for that poor shark...

This would be really cool to see in person though.

I like the hat on the guy on the right.

yeah, can be used as eco-bag/basket as well :)

I like the hat on the guy on the right.

you mean the japanese national hat?

I like the hat on the guy on the right.

Japanese life is more interesting than Marine Life, look there...neither sunny nor raining still those three elderly ladies holding umbrellas !

Hey Mr.Shark, turn that frown upside down!
