About Maxell Aqua Park Shinagawa
This PR video created by the Park introduces the Park’s facilities through the use of high-quality footage.
Aqua Park Shinagawa is a theme park boasting both an aquarium and various other attractions.
It is popular as an “Insta-worthy” location - the cutting-edge technology incorporated into the aquarium gives rise to images breathtaking enough to cause you to even forget that you are in Tokyo.
In the video, each display of sea life in the famed aquarium is introduced one by one.
We hope you can experience the excitement of visiting the Park through the video.
What Is Shinagawa's Maxell Aqua Park?
Aqua Park Shinagawa is located in Shinagawa Prince Hotel, which can be found right beside the West Exit of Shinagawa Station (品川駅, Shingawa-eki).
In 2005, it was first opened as Epson Shinagawa Aqua Stadium.
As an indoor facility, it can be enjoyed regardless of rain or shine, sun or snow.
The Park is a theme park comprised of an aquarium with more than 350 different species of 20,000 sea creatures, as well as other indoor attractions.
The Park’s most prominent attraction is the aquarium’s use of Japan’s latest cutting-edge technology.
With unique special effects and brilliantly creative performances, you can definitely have an out-of-this-world experience right here in Tokyo.
Since its renovation in July 2015, Aqua Park Shinagawa is an aquarium that has undertaken a variety of initiatives based on the concept of "the fusion of sound, light, and images with living creatures".
The dolphin show is one of the most popular attractions at Aqua Park Shinagawa, and can be enjoyed throughout the year as the content changes with the seasons in Japan.
1st Floor: Fashionable Café Bar and Indoor Attractions
Introduced from 0:05 to 1:14 in the video, the Park’s 1st floor is comprised of attractions and a café bar.
Upon entering the Park your eyes will be drawn to a large screen with colorful displays that transform to suit the season.
This is the park entrance.
There are three “Magical Grounds” where you can have different unique experiences.
As for the attractions, there is the merry-go-round “Dolphin Party,” where you have a choice of 6 species of sea creatures to mount, as well as the “Port of Pirates.”
As the attractions are all indoors, you can enjoy them while surrounded by fantastical music and lights.
The “Coral Café Bar” is a fashionable projection mapping bar, exceptionally well-known even in Tokyo.
In addition, the first floor also boasts the “Touch Panel Aquarium”; a wall on which sea creatures appear in response to your touch, as well as the “Jellyfish Rumble” with its mysterious glowing jellyfish.
2nd Floor: So Beautiful You'll Forget That You’re Even in Tokyo!
Aqua Park Shinagawa’s 2nd floor is mainly comprised of the aquarium, and is introduced from 1:15 to 2:20 in the video.
The “Little Paradise” has water projections that transform in accordance with various themes.
Here, you can enjoy viewing a multitude of tropical fish, both big and small.
Furthermore, in the 20-meter-long undersea tunnel “Wonder Tube,” you can see sawfish and manta rays swimming right above your head. You can even feed mantas on the Wonder Tube Guided Tour.
Besides that, the Park’s greatest drawing point is the “Dolphin Performance” held at the Stadium.
This dynamic dolphin show can be enjoyed from 360 degrees.
You can view scenes of the day version and night version of the show from 1:58 in the video.
The night version also incorporates a projection mapping dolphin performance.
Speaking of performances, you mustn’t miss “Star on the Stage!”, a dance of animals, as well as the “Mini Performances” of sea lions and penguins.
Beyond that, there is also the “Aqua Jungle,” where you can experience the natural atmosphere of the jungle where capybaras reside, as well as the “Life Museum”, with its display of specimens, the “Wild Street,” where penguins and otters roam, and the “Friendly Square,” with seal and penguin performances.
As you can see, the Park is an aquarium with a whole host of attractions.
We hope you find your own special spot in the Park.
