It took some time to find the entrance that day; the exit was too obvious, but the entrance was on the opposite basement level. Once inside, the experience was excellent. The staff were very friendly, and there were multiple photo spots. We ended up spending more time there than expected, and the wait in line wasn't too long. A very enjoyable day!
This trip was a solo trip with my child. Although the aquarium wasn't large, it was well-equipped and perfect for elementary school students. After seeing the main attractions, the seals and jellyfish, there was a restaurant right next to the exit where you could dine while watching the animals. After eating, we went straight to see the penguins.
This was my second purchase. Although we only visited two attractions, it was already worth the price. The Sumida Aquarium and the Tuna Tour included round-trip transportation and sightseeing facilities, plus a local lunch. It was a great deal. Because we missed a part of the itinerary, we didn't have time to participate in the third activity, but it was still excellent value for money.
The food was still good, but perhaps because it was the last session, the staff seemed tired, and the process of adding orders and changing dishes was not handled very well. However, the minor flaws did not detract from the overall excellence.
