Meta review

Not as well-known as other aquariums in Japan, Sea Life Park gets good online reviews - nothing exceptional but the tuna and the penguins are the highlights for most, together with the building itself and the enjoyable seaside area around it. The experience seems to be best enjoyed by families.

Environmental & Social

The aquarium is involved in conservation projects and has an impressive track record of breeding rare species.

Conclusion

Not a Tokyo-must-see but an excellent value family-friendly option in a green area bordered by the sea. A welcome change from the urban jungle.
