Hii, since there are so many aquarium options, I’d like to hear your recommendations, preferably in Tokyo since me and my partner will have a one day trip to Osaka, so we may not be able to visit everything.
I’m in love with marine life and would love to see huge beautiful aquariums, perhaps a ceiling type? Thanks!

I haven't been but planning to go to an aquarium in a couple of weeks. But done some research and Osaka Aquarium is second most recommended one in Japan after Okinawa one. Tokyo one is apparently not as good.

Got it, that’s why I asked
If it’s really that breath-taking and worth it then we can make some time for it
The one in Osaka I mean
Also Maggie, you’re always replying and helping out thank you so much I really appreciate it pal :)

I visited Osaka aquarium about month ago. Definitely worth it. 👍

Osaka aquarium is a recommend for sure!

Which museum?
Sumida Hokusai Museum in Tokyo

I guess flying to Okinawa for the best aquarium in Japan (Churaumi) is out of the question? 😅

Sumida Hokusai Museum in Tokyo
Is the great wave showcased there? Is there an original I can see anywhere?

So this is Ukiyoe not a painting
So the "original" in its classic meaning is not a thing really
It's basically a fancy stamp sequence made of wood
So yes all that you see is original but it's not like paintings that only one exists

If you're into Hokusai, you might want to consider visiting Obuse (Nagano prefecture) on a future trip.

Ah shame, seems it's not there at the moment as it's on loan travelling somewhere probably
But as I say, do some digging on Google, there are around 250 original prints left in the world it's estimated, so there could be some museums that have it currently on display

And any ideas where I can see multiple original pieces of Hokusai?
This is a separate question from the original, so it would be best to make different posts instead of asking here.

@unique fox If in Tokyo, consider the Sumida Aquarium under the Tokyo Skytree

Hii, my bad, I’ve been making a lot of forums lately and thought I was spamming, I’ll make a new one now 🤗

No worries! It just helps that if someone else looks through the forums with a similar question, and they see the thread, it makes it easier to find help too!

Id personally choose Osaka Kaiyukan I believe that's where the whale sharks are
