About Hengbin Hakkeijima Aquarium
Dive into Japan's ultimate marine and amusement wonderland at Yokohama Hakkeijima Sea Paradise, home to an astonishing 12,000 aquatic and terrestrial creatures across 700 species. This unique island destination seamlessly blends world-class aquarium exhibits with thrilling rides, captivating magic shows, and relaxing seaside cafes for an unforgettable full-day escape.
Local Legends & Stories
Hakkeijima Island was originally an artificial landfill created in the 1970s, but locals affectionately refer to it as a modern Ryugu-jo, the mythical Dragon Palace under the sea, due to its spectacular underwater tunnels and vibrant marine life. The island's design was inspired by the desire to create a harmonious utopia where humans, nature, and the ocean coexist peacefully.

-
Discover the quiet, scenic walking paths along the island's outer seawall, offering stunning, unobstructed views of Tokyo Bay and the Yokohama skyline.
What Makes it Special
-
It is one of the few facilities in Japan that perfectly integrates a massive aquarium complex with a full-scale amusement park and natural island environment.
-
The attraction features an incredible diversity of life, showcasing not just marine animals but also beloved terrestrial creatures like capybaras and red pandas.
-
The seamless transition from educational daytime animal presentations to dazzling, high-tech nighttime light and sound shows offers a dynamic experience that changes from day to night.
Available Facilities
Perfect Timing
When to visit for the best experience
The best time to visit is on a weekday morning right when the park opens to avoid the heavy weekend crowds and secure good seating for the popular animal shows. Spring and autumn offer the most comfortable weather for exploring the outdoor amusement areas and island walking paths, while winter brings spectacular illumination events and clearer views of Mount Fuji from the observation decks.
Photography Guide
Capture the perfect shots
-
Position yourself at the bottom of the Aqua Museum's massive main tank and shoot upwards with a wide-angle lens to capture the stunning silhouette of the sardine tornado against the blue water.
-
Use a fast shutter speed and burst mode when photographing the dolphins and sea lions during the live shows to freeze their dynamic splashes and mid-air acrobatics.
-
Take advantage of the golden hour just before sunset on the island's outdoor promenades to capture beautiful, warm-toned portraits with the Tokyo Bay waters and amusement park rides in the background.
Cultural Etiquette
Respect local customs and traditions
Japanese visitors highly value queue etiquette and quiet observation, so please wait patiently in designated lines for shows and avoid loud talking or tapping on the aquarium glass. When watching the animal presentations, it is customary to applaud enthusiastically for the trainers and animals, but refrain from using flash or standing up abruptly as it may startle the creatures. Tipping is not practiced in Japan, so simply offer a polite bow or a warm thank you to the staff for their excellent service.
Special Events & Experiences
Enhanced experiences and seasonal highlights
-
The winter season features the spectacular Starlight Island illumination event, where the entire island and aquarium exterior are decked out in millions of dazzling LED lights.
-
Summer brings special nighttime aquarium events and extended hours, allowing guests to enjoy cool, atmospheric marine exhibits and outdoor fireworks displays over Tokyo Bay.
-
Spring and autumn often host limited-time collaborative events with popular Japanese anime and character franchises, featuring exclusive themed merchandise and special cafe menus.
Important Guidelines & Safety
Essential safety information and guidelines
-
Keep a close eye on young children near the open touch pools and interactive water features, as the surrounding deck areas can become quite slippery from splashing.
-
Stay behind all designated safety barriers and follow staff instructions carefully during the animal feeding and interactive encounters to ensure both your safety and the well-being of the wildlife.
-
If visiting during the hot summer months, utilize the shaded rest areas and indoor air-conditioned aquarium zones frequently to prevent heat exhaustion while exploring the outdoor island facilities.
