Enjoy an extraordinary experience that can only be found here, woven together by beautiful yet somewhat eerie goldfish and yokai.<\/p>\n

\u25a0What is Art Aquarium?<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Art Aquarium is an immersive entertainment art experience that uses light, scent, and sound to enhance aquariums where goldfish swim. It is a unique world where Japanese tradition and cutting-edge art merge, expressing the culture of appreciating goldfish, which has continued since the Edo period, as a work of art for the modern age.
The sculptural beauty of the aquarium artwork, the spatial design, and the fantastical space created by the various beauties of the goldfish unfold before your eyes.
Since its inception in Tokyo in 2007, it has been held as a limited-time event in various locations across Japan, and has become a popular and well-established event held in Tokyo during the summer months.
In August 2020, it opened its first permanent museum in Nihonbashi, Tokyo (Chuo Ward, Tokyo), and then relocated to Ginza, Tokyo (8th floor of the Ginza Mitsukoshi New Building, Chuo Ward, Tokyo) in May 2022, where it is currently operating. Since 2007, it has become an entertainment-type museum IP boasting a cumulative visitor count of 13 million people (as of October 2025).<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
