Looking for something fun to do in Tokyo this fall? Sumida Aquarium is celebrating Japan’s annual Spotted Garden Eel Day with a playful new event designed to clear up a surprisingly common misunderstanding. From October 1st to November 16th, the “*Not a Garden Eel Exhibition” is designed to introduce visitors to three similar—but distinct—garden eel species. It turns out, true spotted garden eels, splendid garden eels, and white-spotted garden eels are all unique. Stop by the aquarium to learn how to tell these popular residents apart!
Quizzes, Stamp Rallies, and Special Events (Garden Eel Feeding!?)

The main interactive quiz gallery invites visitors to test their garden eel knowledge, find out how much they really know about the different species, and pose for photos surrounded by garden eel displays. Visitors can also join the quiz-style stamp rally to explore the aquarium in search of special observation points, with plenty of facts about garden eel behavior along the way, and life-size silhouette decorations in the aquarium’s coral reef area to make it easier to compare all three species inside the tank. Special feeding sessions with commentary and true-or-false quizzes are also being held on weekends, holidays, and select dates in November—a unique chance to see these cute little guys in action.
Limited-Edition Garden Eel Food, Activities, and Souvenirs

The festivities continue with a mask-making workshop where visitors can choose one of the three species, study its patterns, and color their own garden eel mask. At the Penguin Cafe, limited-edition menu items include a white-spotted garden eel cheese dog, orange-and-white splendid garden eel soft serve, and a cookies-and-cream spotted garden eel shake. Finally, don’t miss the special merchandise at the gift shop! There’s an enormous 111-centimeter splendid garden eel plush toy for sale, and a pretty cute garden eel coin bank! This is your chance to pick up some pretty unique Tokyo souvenirs—and travel memories to last a lifetime.
