Over rated and I think it's really cruel for the fishes, to expose them to long hours of blinking, glaring, outrageous lights. The music in there was horribly loud and I'm sure the vibrations caused is sickening for the fishes

10🌟 this was a fantastic art and goldfish aquarium!! The music and art was beautiful!! Highly recommend!! They are blowing out scents! We went on a Friday, reserved tickets for 2:30pm. You save 200¥ when you book online. It's in the "Annex" building. Floor 9 is where you enter.

It was a great experience as I've never seen anything like this! Everything was beautiful and well designed but 4 stars as we went there as a family time but my kids didn't enjoy it at all. They prefer the normal aquarium I guess! We walked around as slow as possible and stopped to take pictures but finished it within 1 hour. For those who plan to go, the entrance is a bit tricky. You need to go to the 8th floor then find the escalator that goes up to the 9th floor. There will be a staff standing to check your ticket and let you go up. Hope this helps!

Beautiful combination of art and animals. A great place to see some extraordinary goldfish presented in a very cleaver and artsy way. For example they have unique fantail goldfish in cut crystal bowls and huge cylindrical tanks with special lighting and music.

Really unique and cool experience. The fish all look great and it was amazing to see all the different types of gold fish. The displays are all beautifully presented, not to mention creative. I recommend booking tickets online, the process is very streamlined and there are minimal waiting times due to most people pre-booking, I assume. We visited on a Saturday and had no waiting time at all.

I love this museum so much. I’ve been twice now. I didn’t realize the flowers used in the tanks would change and it was a really pleasant surprise! They tend to change with the season. If you like photography this is the museum for you. It’s dimly lit so there are not a lot of chances to take photos of people, but if you want pictures of the tanks there is no better place! So well curated. It can be difficult to figure out how to get to the entrance. The mall staff were very helpful if you get confused! This is a kind of sensory experience. There is calming music, lots and lots of colorful tanks, and it is very very dark to allow focus on the tanks. This is meant as a calming experience and place to enjoy art. The gift shop also has many fish related gifts! Tickets for entry are about ¥2500 per person (I cannot remember the child price, but I want to say it was around ¥1500)

Beautiful goldfish exhibit in Mitsukoshi building in the center of Ginza. I had very low expectations going there and came out totally impressed. Ticket is cheaper to buy online so make sure to get it in advance. Not overly crowded so perfect for a date for sure.

Pretty cool place to visit. Colorful exhibitions with ambiance lighting and live fish. If you have an hour to spare, I recommend this place for a relaxing time. We bought tickets the morning that we decided to go and they had plenty.

This place is awesome - how they made art and integrated with the aquarium was great. There was parking a block away, tickets were easily purchased and there was not so crowded. We had good space to take pictures.

Aquarium re-defined！used to expect that an Aquarium is a place full of sea animals with a big glass..... Although they simply displayed gold fish, lots and lots of varieties of gold fish but they also blend in with Japanese culture ♥️ Love the atmosphere and all of the display, they are simply stunning!!! They sell tickets in hour unit, and each adult ticket costs 2500 yen. So if you aim to visit the Aquarium, better to go ASAP as this exhibition will end by the end of Feb.

If you buy tickets online you can get 200 yen off. I bought the tickets on the spot at the building because I just realized it had the aquarium. Entered minutes after buying online. You can take your time in the museum and enjoy the illuminations and fish. We went in Autumn so they decorated the place with autumn leaves. Beautiful place to relax.

No wait to get in. I went late afternoon. You can buy tickets from the kiosk which has foreign language options. You have to take the elevator to get to the floor. The exhibits were beautiful, but some lighting didn't wasn't optimum for photos. Can get quite crowded at the popular tanks. The autumn exhibit was a nice touch. Perhaps a greater selection of fish types would have been nice. The gift shop has some cool unique earring options.

A really unique and interest experience. It was a bit on the busier side, but just such a great little time killer for a cheap price. Would be great as a date, and is a photographers’ dream. Definitely something worth checking out.

Fancy mid size museum. You'll probably enjoy this if you're a fan of Team Lab and that kind of thing. We spent about an hour and half here. Apparently there was supposed to be a traditional Japanese show on a small stage but it wasn't on when we went there maybe due to the current covid circumstance.

Beautiful and original museum in Nihombashi, Tokyo, opened in August 2020. The creator already did many temporary exhibitions since more than 30 years, and this is his first permanent exhibition. The concept is to combine fish aquariums with lights and sounds to create an immersive and colorful experience. The visual and sound identity made me think a bit about TeamLabs - but the Art Aquarium is of course much smaller. The whole visit takes about one hour. I recommend the evening tickets, which are cheaper and probably with less visitors. I went 3 days after opening and it was totally fine, no waiting line, no crowd inside. The exhibition itself is beautiful, some parts are really impressive. We can however wonder about the condition for the fishes, as some aquariums are quite small when compared to the number of fishes inside them.

Ticket prices for visiting is 2,400¥ per person. They will sell the ticket for each round which is 30mins to 1 hr per round. The music and the feeling of the environment are very unique. Also, there is a small gift shop at the end Wich you can buy some souvenir.

My wife and I really enjoyed the art aquarium museum. It was living art but so well done in all aspects. The lighting and music helped set a calm and relaxing mood while the fish provided interesting patterns of movement amongst all the artistic fish tank enclosures. If you like art, this is definitely worth a visit.

We saw this on google maps that it was really close after we ate lunch near Tokyo station. Ended up having a blast, if you like art and goldfish you will enjoy this. We went during midday and it wasn’t as crowded for a weekend. It will take about 1hr or more to see everything, this is only 1floor but very immersive and illuminated lights were amazing. It blends around the different style of tanks. You will see a lot of types of goldfishes as well. At the end there is a nice small gift shop for souvenirs!

(Translated by Google) Are customers concentrating on taking pictures? Are you coming for Instant? I think that there are not any customers enjoying at least seeing the goldfish. Both men and women crash in the dark room. Staff who keeps it is obvious. It is not worth clearing. (Original) 客は写真を撮ることに集中している？インスタ映えのために来ている？少なくとも金魚を見て楽しんでいる客はいないと思います。暗い室内で男も女も激突してきます。それを放っておくスタッフもお察しですね。はっきりいって行く価値ないですよ。

I was sceptical at first when my wife booked the tickets but I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised at what this museum in a shopping mall had to offer. My daughter loved it and it kept her curious for much of the time. It's quite amazing what you can put on top of a high rise building. I think this place is much more than just a aquarium or museum, it's a place to go if you want to mentally recharge and get some inspiration.

Wonderful aquarium in Tokyo 💖🌸 I went there in late afternoon and spent about an hour there. It was stunning and beautiful 😍 The ticket price was 2,300¥ which you can purchase it on official website. Highly recommended if you’re around Ginza. I would love to visit again ✨

Enjoyed this museum as its unlike anything I have been to before. It is very short but with only about 6 or 7 "rooms/exhibits". This doesn't detract from it but just means you should really take your time to stroll through and take it in. Not very pram friendly due to escalators and can't push a pram through it must be carried

We personally loved this art aquarium! We bought tickets on the day, No queue to enter, the fish all appeared healthy and well looked after, staff were friendly, and there was no time limit on how long you could stay inside. Would recommend to anyone wanting a relaxed activity whilst in Tokyo!

(Translated by Google) It was a pity that the goldfish, which had no oxygen and were not energetic, were exhibited in a small aquarium. The gaps between the beads spread in the aquarium were full of feces and were not well cleaned, so the life of the goldfish seems to be short. I'm no longer crushed. I won't go anymore. (Original) 狭い水槽で酸素がなくて元気のない金魚たちが展示されていて可哀想でした。水槽のそこに敷き詰められたビーズの隙間は糞だらけで掃除も行き届いていなかったので金魚の寿命も短そう。いたたまれなくなりました。もう行かないです。

Not bad but definitely not worth the price, quite small. Nice for taking pictures but also no explanations. Quite difficult to find (first have to go to 9th floor) and tickets have to be purchased first either at 1st floor or online.

Must go! Tickets purchased online are cheaper, if not it's 2400yen onsite. They have a wide variety of goldfish, which were in good conditions! Most of them will beg for food when they see ou, but they are well fed so not to worry haha Some of them were not happy being kept alone, in the crystal bowl or the round globes. So they tried to swim near my hands for some social interaction. Currently, there is a sakura theme in time for the sakura season.

Surprisingly cool. Loved the music and the ambiance. The displays are so aesthetically pleasing. This is probably one of my favorite activities during my current trip to Japan. I can only give this 4/5 because when animals are on display for humans, I have to think about their safety and well being. I know next to nothing about fish, but some of these tanks just seem too small, not to mention the overcrowding. I still think it’s worth the money though. I booked my tickets online. If you arrive early, you won’t be able to get in early. I think there were lots of same day tickets available for all of the time slots.

Immerse yourself in a wonderful visual and audio experience! It combines the best of technology and art to create it. You'll go mad with your camera, clicking away everywhere, as it's so beautiful, with beautiful lighting and soothing music. You'll never think watching gold fish in the tank can be this much fun? Spend an hour or two here, after u can shop till you drop at the iconic Mistukoshi department store, which is where this is located.

100% recommend if you're in the area. It's absolutely beautiful and combined it with the scent of Jasmine in the air with lovely classical music that sounds straight out of Zelda. It's a wonderful experience with great photo opportunities.

A unique light, art, and sound experience. It was interesting to learn about the artist and what inspired him. I went on a Saturday evening and the place was mostly empty. A great place for a date or to take pictures with friends.

This goldfish art museum is beautiful and unique. The exhibits are unlike anything I’ve seen before and each section has its own story to tell. This is the kind of place that you could spend hours in and not get bored of if you have an appreciation for art combined with live animals. Not only were there so many different types of goldfish, but they are all clearly taken care of. I would recommend this place to anyone who loves fish, like aquariums, has an eye for beauty, and loves picturesque places to go in Ginza!

The staff were friendly enough to help us get to the Art Aquarium! Because we were pretty lost at the beginning. They also did their best to speak English, although I would’ve been fine with them speaking Japanese to make things easier for them. The art aquarium itself is an amazing concept and perfect for taking photos! It’s so beautiful and creative. My only concern is for the fishes. I don’t know much about fish maintenance but I do hope they’re being well taken care of. Some of them looked like they were in a very tight spot. Some even looked on the verge of dying. But other than those flaws, the art aquarium was great.

A lot of it was quite beautiful but some of the fish living conditions made me sad to see. The nonfiltered bowls with one little fish on each were sad to see, they were put away on shelves. The big fish put into small tanks also deeply saddened me, especially the ones in the ball shaped tanks towards the end, they didn't have much free space to move. I emailed the museum to ask them to consider changing the living conditions for these fish. Aesthetically, it's a nice space to visit. However, they could vastly improve if they made ethical changes for their fish. It left me feeling kind of regretful that I visited because I accidentally supported such treatment of animals.

I'm not into fishes, but it's really pretty inside. They've got a restaurant too that serve pretty good light meals and desserts. It's a bit on the pricier side (¥1.2k - ¥2.k) but they're good quality and Instagram pic worthy.

30 minutes of pure creative art work. You can purchase the ticket online and pay by credit card to get the entry QR code.

Gorgeous, but quite small. I don’t think I spent more than 30 minutes there. Perhaps somewhat pricey considering that, but a nice experience either way. Not sure about the goldfish though… are they okay?

Entrance and ticket sales on 9th floor, you then take an escalator down to 8f where the exhibit is. The exhibit is beautiful and a good way to spend about 40 minutes. It’s amazing how they are able to keep all the goldfish alive. Not a single dead fish in any tank. The muse with a fan like tail was my favourite.

It was a very unique experience and it feels like a different art museum. They utilised ikebana with their fishes, making it a unique display derived from their culture. Overall highly recommended!!!

This was a very cool experience. Awesome art exhibit, beautiful presentation. The artistic expression is exquisite. Full disclosure, I know absolutely nothing about art but I can certainly appreciate the beauty of this exhibit and the artists work showcased here as well. I miss having my own aquarium and keeping fish, this exhibit reminded me of the tranquility of keeping and watching fish swim about. Positive emotions were experienced here today.

(Translated by Google) It was terribly fantastic and wonderful, but it may have been narrower than I thought. (Original) 凄く幻想的でステキでしたが、思ったより狭かったかもです。

Exhibits were beautifully curated but quite difficult to capture photogenic angles. Imo, the colored light was weird as it cycled through 4-5 colours at every exhibit; for instance, the blue light never felt suitable for any exhibit while the white light was the nicest for every exhibit. The same music was played on loop. Some fish looked 'sad' as other reviews described but tbh I don't know if all goldfish are the type to swim actively. But overall it felt like a nice & zen short activity and it was not crowded on a Thursday morning.

(Translated by Google) The aspect of the different space is interesting. I would like you to give me some more care of the goldfish. (Original) 異空間の様相は面白い。 金魚のケアをもう少ししてあげて欲しい。

A pretty aquarium showing a lot of different varieties of goldfish in different settings. The ambiance was nice with dark lighting and peaceful music. It was not too busy when we went there on a Thursday night.

We bought an online ticket and it's a good idea. The museum is on 8th floor but you have to go on 9th fl to check in first. Inside, the decoration is great and wonderful. Mostly, there are variety of goldfish, I mean only goldfish. So you won't see other things else. If you like Koi or goldfish then this place is highly recommended but I just expected to see more things in aquarium.

The Art Aquarium Museum is located in the Ginza Mitsukoshi. You can buy tickets online for 2,300 yen or at the kiosk for 2,400 yen on the 1st floor of the Mitsukoshi Annex building (right inside the main entrance, street level). The entrance of the museum is on the 9th floor of the main Mitsukoshi building. The location is not very big but you'll be in for a treat with the various aquarium displays filled with different types of goldfish. If you like fish and aquariums arranged in different shapes, then this is the place for you. I spent about an hour and a half here. You'll definitely walk away with some really cool pictures.

(Translated by Google) I was impressed by the mysterious space. For many people during weekday ... The hall was not very wide, so it was hard to see. (Original) 神秘的な空間に感動。 平日の割には多くの人が… 会場はあまり広くなかったので、見ずらかったな。

(Translated by Google) Too boring. Is it about 15 minutes? Even if I do my best, I can go for 30 minutes (laughs) When I went on a holiday, it was a demon procession, so I challenged again on weekdays! I put it right away, but it's too boring! Feeling that people who care about Instagram are just going to post. At first there was a palm-sized balance in a small aquarium, and it was bad to start with “Tension!” Tension MAX, then a lot of ordinary goldfish entered into a huge tank of strange shape All I have to do is cheat with the color light to create a beautiful feeling. What do you think of the people who finally entered alongside the holidays? ? There were people who bothered to wear yukata, Isn't it longer to wear a yukata than to watch the venue? ? I thought (^-^) (Original) つまらなすぎる。滞在時間15分くらいかな？頑張っても30分いれるくらい(笑)休日に行ったら、鬼の行列だったから、平日に再チャレンジ！直ぐに入れたが、つまらなすぎる！インスタ映えとか気にする人が投稿ネタで行くだけの感じ。一番最初は小さな水槽に手のひらサイズの出目金が居て、「でかい！っ」ってテンションMAXからスタートしたのが悪かったのか、その後は変わった形の巨大水槽に普通の金魚が沢山入っているだけ…あとはカラーライトでごまかして、綺麗感を演出。休日に並んでやっと入った人達はどう思うのかな？？ わざわざ浴衣着て来た人達も居たが、 会場を見る時間より、浴衣を身にまとう時間の方が長いんじゃないか？？と思いました(^-^)

I wasn't sure what I would be seeing here but I went along with some friends to check it out. I was amazed by the creativity with aquarium fish as the primary focus. If you like art and looking for something to do I would say that this is worth a stop on your itinerary.

Beautiful goldfish museum! The tickets were a bit pricey for such a small museum but it was beautifully done! You can spend a lot of time there but it was pretty crowded when we went (4 pm) so taking photos without people walking all over is quite difficult. But overall very satisfying activity for an afternoon.

***This exhibit is one not to be missed*** Like many things in this great culture, care, craft and a thoroughly integrated art and museum set design were employed in this exhibit. Using iconic forms like Japanese Lanterns wood roofs, masks and beautiful cherry blossom, this exhibit employs symbolism to wow you. Like a 3D emersion into an impressionist watercolor painting, except that the art moves, the fish here bring this art exhibit alive with a juxtaposition of colors like nowhere else. The varying shape of tanks, fish and lighting colors make for a stunning presentation. They have one exhibit with cylindrical tanks which have a short dimension of the curved side protruding out of the wall...be sure to look at these from the side to get an enlarged version of the fish. Also for the tall wavy tanks, be sure not to only look at the front side as you go to the next row, but look at the backs which have a different direction for the lighting. Having watched the episode of Japan public television series on this aquarium before we visited, we learned how important goldfish were to Japanese culture including the breading of some of these pretty rare fish. And you may not see these types of fish in any other place, so take notice of their details. Some with crowns, large bellies, large eyes and puffy cheeks. A very minimalist pallet is seen in the grouping of square tanks, where the fish color and forms are simply stunning against the white bottom with very bright lighting balanced with silk cherry blossoms popping through the surface of the water. Very cool exhibit.

A beautiful exhibit, especially if you like goldfish! Amazing colours and background music really let you enjoy the experience.
