So, Sunshine Aquarium, how are you doing?
Sunshine Aquarium is a busy facility located right in the middle of things in Ikebukuro, a busy shopping area usually crowded with locals and travelers alike. The combination of interiors that make the whole building feel underwater, and its actual rooftop view of Ikebukuro, makes for a pretty interesting atmosphere. As a gathering place for people from all over, however, the aquarium is taking measures to avoid any dangers presented by coronavirus. The facilities are closed until March 15th as a preventative measure.
All the underwater friends at the aquarium, though? They're doing just fine! The animals of Sunshine Aquarium are going on with their daily lives, happily splashing and swimming and eating as usual! And the aquarium staff are still in every day, to take care of our water-loving animal buddies, and share a little of their day with us via Twitter (@Sunshine_Aqua) and Youtube. According to the aquarium, they're just hoping the cute pictures and little clips of the animals will bring a little fun and relaxation to everybody's day!

Lunch time! This is the best time for aquarium staff to check on how all the penguins are doing. Just by looking at the penguins' appetites, and their enthusiasm, you can tell a lot about how they're feeling in general.
Here we see the humphead wrasse of the aquarium's large Sunshine Lagoon tank. Wave your hand and call them over, and they'll get up close just to snag a snack!
