Highly recommended! The staff are very nice and will try to communicate with you in English. The package includes a 60-minute stay and a drink. We also ordered the Pokey package, which allows you to choose your own storyline or let them improvise. It's a shame it's only available in Japanese. Highly recommended for anyone interested! 👍🏻
After exchanging my one-day pass at Ikebukuro Station, it was very convenient to take the limited express train to Seibu Chichibu Station. From there, I took a bus to Mitsumine Shrine for a visit. Strolling through the woods was very pleasant, and I also saw the Thirty Hammer Ice Pillars, which are only visible in winter. Unfortunately, the last bus had to leave before 5 PM, so I missed seeing the changing lights illuminating the ice pillars at night. Then, I took a local train to Ashikubo Station. The changing lights on the ice pillars at night, combined with the music, were beautiful, like flowers changing with the seasons. I hope to have the opportunity to experience all of Chichibu's seasons in the future! ☺️
We ordered a crab meal on KK Day, who knew after going to the shop, found that there were no nails, but the shop was very helpful, I KKday contacted, arranged another time for us, although waited 45 minutes, but after sitting on the floor felt very comfortable, food quality was very good, although delayed a little time, still worth it.
It's not very big; you can probably see everything in about 1.5 to 2 hours. The layout is quite well done, and observing aquatic life from below is a unique experience. There's also a feeding show to watch. It's located on the 10th floor of Sunrise City in Ikebukuro. Sunrise City in Ikebukuro is a great place to explore; you could easily spend a whole day there. Combining a shopping trip with an aquarium visit is a good idea.
