 On July 24, at the Ginza Sony Building (Ginza 5), the annual collaboration project with "Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium", which is celebrating its 48th anniversary this year, "Ginza's summer tradition" "Sony Aquarium" will begin.

Date: July 24-September 6

This time, a large 14-ton tank was set up in the outdoor event space "Sony Square", recreating the world of creatures living in the beautiful coral reef sea. Approximately 800 beautiful sea fish from about 20 species, such as giant squirrels, fake Goishi Utsubo and Dokuutsubo, will appear sequentially during the event.

At the opening event, the unveiling ceremony was held with the Deputy Governor of Okinawa Prefecture and the director of the Churaumi Aquarium.

If you look into the back of the aquarium, fish are swimming around on the streets of Ginza.

During feeding time (16:00 to 16:30), you can also encounter feeding scenes.

In the aquarium at the entrance hall on the 1st floor, colorful tropical fish, isoginjaku, shrimp, and shakogai are displayed.

In the back of the hall, a 9.1m-long whale shark jaw (sample) is displayed, and you can enjoy a commemorative photo with a large jaw that allows you to fully enter the human face.

On the 8th floor "Communication Zone OPUS", 4K images of whale sharks and sea creatures of Okinawa are screened with powerful large screens and high-resolution sounds full of realism.

On Saturdays and Sundays in July and August during the period, a “business trip class” will be held by the breeders of the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium, which can be learned by parents and children.

In addition, there are various exhibitions and events such as stamp rally.

This year too, it is full of charm of "Okinawa Churaumi".
