Sumida Aquarium has been bringing aquatic wonders to the Tokyo Skytree area since 2012. The aquarium is a two-floor housing complex for over 10,000 animals. With its artificial seawater system, the aquarium also reduces CO2 emissions in ways that most other aquariums do not. The aquarium centerpiece--a 350,000-liter tank--is the largest of its kind in Japan and is home to penguins and fur seals.
The aquarium lies in the West Zone of Tokyo Skytree Town on the 5th and 6th floors. Instead of following lines or pre-chosen routes, guests are instead free to find their own way through the aquarium and enjoy the aquatic animals from many angles. There are also many seating areas scattered throughout the aquarium to enhance watching experiences and allow visitors to take a break while they wander.
As of 2020, the Sumida Aquarium has also added a jellyfish exhibition area. Watch jellyfish float beneath you in a surreal alien landscape from the viewing platform. More than 500 moon jellyfish are illuminated in this area and create a one-of-a-kind view.
The gift shop is where you can find all kinds of merchandise and stuffed animals of your favorite aquarium inhabitants. Visit the café and restaurant for a snack or a meal, and be impressed by their themed foods.

东京的地平线上最新的增加物就是新的东京Skytree。它被设计成一个电视,广播塔。东京Skytree是这个商业中心的中心装饰品,众所周知,它以成为东京的一个标志。它是世界最高的无支柱型广播电视塔并在建力士里创造了世界新纪录。它非常高,所以有许多优势的地方去观察城市。自从它完成以来已经接纳了数百万的参观者。 Skytree的两个观察甲板都提供了城市里让人非常激动的风景。低的甲板,被称为展望板,高达350米,它提供了一些城市最好的风景。展望台被分为三层。第一层有着壮观的玻璃窗和壤板。可以让人们感受到地面上风吹时的感受。一家茶店也坐落在这一层,它提供了广泛搭配的茶点,比如热饮料和小吃等。 第二层则是纪念品商店和武藏天空饭店。准备好引诱你未发现的味觉。武藏天空饭店以唯一的一家融合了日本-法国调理法而有名的饭店。如果你感到饿或有一些动摇,你或许会远离武藏饭店。与其排队等待相当于8美元的饭菜,还不如去一家不用等待的饭店。花钱在Skytree附近的小一点的餐厅或者小摊也是一个很好的方法。 展望台的最后一层是观察台。这一层的顶部有一个巨大的窗户,它让访问者观赏到其它景点所没有的,东京独一无二的风景。在Skytree最好的时光就是太阳下山前,城市里的灯光开始闪烁的时候。 许多东京的标志,比如·Diamond和Flower Ferri Wheel都可以从塔上看到。乘着一套电梯将访问者从展望台连接到上面的展望走廊。展望走廊坐落与高处,所以有着 ‘世界最高的人行天桥’的绰号。展望走廊待征着一面大窗户,旁边就是一条通往塔上的一条螺旋斜道。 位于螺旋斜道的顶部是一个小小的休息区域和另外一个观察台。这第二个观察台所看重的是塔里最高的地方,而这对于访问者来说是很有利用价值的。它的入口位于Skytree商业中心的四楼,这里掩盖了押上站和东京Skytree站之间。两个车站都可以走去目的地。
The Asakusa Culture Tourist Information Center (浅草文化観光センター, Asakusa bunka kankō sentā) is an eight story building designed by Kengo Kuma. The top floor contains a free observation deck and a cafe with views onto Sensoji temple and the Nakamise shopping street.
Senso-ji Temple (浅草寺, Sensōji) is a popular spot for omikuji, or fortunes. These auspicious sheets are offered in a multitude of languages, enticing both Japanese and foreigners alike to see how their luck plays out. If the number you draw is less than lucky, don’t worry – simply tie up the offending fortune on the nearby wires and allow your bad karma to be spirited away. The temple also shares its grounds with the Asakusa Shrine, dedicated to the three men credited with the temple’s founding. Considered one of the oldest original buildings in Tokyo, the shrine plays host to the exuberant Sanja Matsuri every May. Another popular building (and photo spot) is the five-story pagoda A number of other festivals take place at Senso-ji throughout the year. The Kinryu-no-mai (Dragon Dance) can be enjoyed on March 18th and October 18th, when a large golden dragon on poles is paraded through the streets. Visitors on April 14th can witness the Sagi-no-mai (White Heron Dance), which features a parade of participants in both Heian-era outfits and heron costumes. In late autumn, the temple’s atmosphere grows even more exuberant during its end of the year rake fairs. Buyers come to purchase one of the many colorfully adorned tools in the hopes of raking in good fortune in the coming year. It is arguably one of the most popular tourist destinations in the city, Senso-ji Temple – also known as Asakusa Kannon – can trace its roots back to the early 600s. In 628, two fishermen on the nearby Sumida River repeatedly brought up a golden statue of the Buddhist goddess of mercy along with their usual catch. Finally deciding not to throw the statue back to the depths of the river once more, they instead brought it to their village headman, who convinced them to build a temple in its honor. Senso-ji Temple was finished in the year 645 and quickly became a pilgrimage site. Its popularity endured over the centuries and even continues in the present day, with most visitors making this one of their first stops in Tokyo. The road leading up to the temple, known as the Nakamise-dori or “street of inner shops”, peddles everything from lacquered chopsticks and ukiyo-e prints to cheap keychains and colorful trinkets. Cake-like ningyoyaki¸sweet treats that are served hot off the iron grill, are a popular purchase, as are warming cups of amazake in the winter months.
