Art Aquarium Museum

Today’s our first full day of three to explore Tokyo. We got out of the Airbnb, had a late breakfast a local little chain restaurant where we could order from iPads again and then took the hour long train into downtown Tokyo.

Sophie wanted to see one of the TeamLabs art exhibits but unfortunately we didn’t book it in time and tickets were all sold out for our days in Tokyo. But apparently the Art Aquarium Museum is similar and not sold out so we went there. It’s a sort of goldfish aquarium/museum with lots of different installations with goldfish swimming around. Very Japanese, and a fun little experience for ¥2700.

After the goldfish, we walked around a bit, got some takoyaki, and walked around Tsukiji fish market. Although it was quite late in the day so the market was all closed and desolate now, but we’ll come back another day while it’s bustling.

We took the train home and stumbled across a temporary installation of a bunch of capsule toy machines. You put in a few ¥100 coins and get a capsule with a toy in it, but you don’t know which one of the set you’ll get. Lots of adorable miniature models including trains, cars, record players, food, etc.
As we connect through this station everytime we go into or come from town, we told ourselves we’d limit it to one toy per stop. That didn’t last very long haha. We probably had 7 or 8 each by the time we left Tokyo lol
