Here is a video and photos of our trip to Shinagawa Aquarium last month.

Our baby LOVED it!

His favourites were the colourful fish, the seals and the dolphin show.

This is the closest aquarium to the city of Tokyo, so a fantastic place for a quick trip and very baby-friendly.

Also is surrounded by a beautiful park and pond – perfect for a picnic or stroll!

 Shinagawa Aquarium:

• Cost: Adults 1,300yen, elementary-junior high school students 600yen, children 4-6yrs 300yen, babies under 3 yrs FREE
• Address of Shinagawa Aquarium: Shinagawa-kumin Park, 3-2-1, Katsushima, Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo
• Open: 10am-5pm (last entry 4:30pm), closes at 6pm during August (check website).
• Closed: Often closed on Tuesdays! Make sure you check the timetable on the website here. The grey boxes are the days which the aquarium is closed.
• How to Get There: We took the shuttle bus from Oimachi Station (Central East Exit) takes 15min. Departs from Bus Stop No. 6 about every 30min. Make sure you line-up well in advance of the departure time if you want to get a seat on the bus. It is also possible to walk to the aquarium from Omori Station (15min) or Omorikaigan Station (8min), or catch a boat there from Hinode Pier in Hamamatsucho.
• Nursing room: There is a nursing room on the 2nd floor (ask staff and they will show you to the room). Baby nappy change tables and baby seats are also available in the women’s toilets and in the all-access toilet.
• Shows and Events: See the timetable on the Shinagawa Aquarium Website for a list of the dolphin and seal shows. The timetable changes for different days, so make sure you check if you would like to plan your day in advance! The timetable is in Japanese, but it is colour-coded so it is easy to understand. Note that the dark grey days are when the aquarium is closed.
• Tickets are valid all day, which means you can go in and out of the aquarium which is great – there is a restaurant outside and also a beautiful park with a huge pond where you can have a picnic or let the kids run around.
