Highlight 5 of Shinagawa Aquarium: Undersea Tunnel [Pictures 9 and 10]
The signature work of all major aquariums, the underwater tunnel appears again~
In addition to the only sawfish exhibit in the world, it also gathers manta rays that can only be found in eastern Japan, and about 10 kinds of rays with different appearances.
🌍
Continue to study Javan cownose rays, thorny rule, and curved lip fish. I feel scared every time I see the curved lip fish, but it is a precious creature on the verge of extinction.

Highlight 6 of Shinagawa Aquarium: Penguin feeding show [Pictures 11, 12]
While walking, we happened to encounter the penguin feeding show (10:45). King penguins are always so handsome, and Gentoo penguins are much smaller in comparison.
There are also performances by fur seals at 11:00, underwater tunnel feeding show at 11:30, otters at 12:50, seals at 15:30, etc. However, the time varies from month to month, so remember to confirm on the official website.

Highlight 7 of Shinagawa Aquarium: Water Jungle [Figure 13]
Queensland lungfish, red-bellied piranha, Arapaima (known as a living fossil), there are many other mysterious marine creatures worth exploring.
Capybaras are also a star animal that everyone must see at Shinagawa Aquarium, but on that day, there was feces floating on the water, and the smell was a bit scary. I hope the staff can take better care of their living environment, so that tourists will have more motivation to visit.

I have to say that this is the most exaggerated and stunning dolphin I have ever seen. The dolphin jumped super high and there was applause the moment it touched the floating ball on the ceiling.
The process was accompanied by deafeningly loud sound effects, and there was a little surprise of getting the front row wet with water, which made the atmosphere very lively. You could also buy popcorn and drinks on site, which was very comfortable.
