Sumida Aquarium: Penguins 2025 Relationship Chart

Not every aquarium comes with a relationship chart. And certainly not one that’s updated annually with love triangles, breakups, and bold declarations of penguin affection. But then again, penguins and the Sumida Aquarium have always played by their own rules. Located on the 5th and 6th floors of Tokyo Skytree Town, this space has long […]

An exceptional experience thanks to Headout! The booking process was quick and very intuitive, and we were able to enter Tokyo Skytree without any waiting, which made the visit even more enjoyable. The panoramic view of Tokyo is simply spectacular, especially at sunset: an unforgettable moment. Everything was perfectly organized, from the e-ticket to access on site. I would definitely recommend Headout for a smooth, reliable, and memorable experience in Tokyo.

Everything was well organized, friendly staff ready to answer any questions, clear signs everywhere and a friendly atmosphere. It is definitely worth to get the extended ticket and visit the aquarium as well.

Time slot 5pm-8pm. I started the Aquarium at 4pm to give myself some free roaming time. Loved the vibe and thankfully the animals seemed to be well taken care off. (I felt the sea lions could've been given a larger area). As for the SkyTree itself, the view was breathtaking. The whole setup is well put together to make the experience worth the admission. And the staff were very helpful and understanding. My only complaint is the amount of people flowing through, and the time spent shuffling from one area to the next. Whether it's the views, the elevators, or just waiting to go to the next area, it seemed as if you're just packed like sardines. It's no fault to the staff, or the SkyTree company itself, it's just a very popular and limited spaced environment. The only way I could see handling it better would be crowd control, but that's understandably a big undertaking. Overall worth the price to experience everything, just go into it with a mindset that you will be in very tight quarters most of the time.

Great package, combo of Sumida Aquarim and the 2 different height decks of Skytree worked really well together.. timing it so the lights of Tokyo were just coming on was a bonus. Will have to go back on a day My Fuji is visible!
