Maxell Aqua Park Shinagawa (ja: マクセルアクアパーク品川しながわ, Makuseru Akua Pāku Shinagawa), formerly Epson Aqua Park Shinagawa, Epson Shinagawa Aqua Stadium is a public aquarium located inside the Shinagawa Prince Hotel in Minato, Tokyo. It can be accessed from Shinagawa Station.[11][12] It is a member of the Japanese Association of Zoos and Aquariums (JAZA).[13]

History

[edit]
Reef manta ray and green sawfish in Wonder tube

On April 8, 2005, "Epson Shinagawa Aqua Stadium" opened on the premises of the Shinagawa Prince Hotel.[4] Many attractions are held at the aquarium in the center of the city operated by Yokohama Hakkeijima Sea Paradise, and a charter wedding party is also held at the aquarium.[14] It was closed for renovations on January 5, 2015. The facility's name was changed to "Epson Aqua Park Shinagawa" and it was reopened on July 10.[15]

On April 1, 2016, the name was changed to "Aqua Park Shinagawa" due to the expiration of the naming rights contract with Epson Sales Japan.[16]

On October 26, 2017, Maxell Holdings acquired naming rights under a contract. From December 1, 2017, the name was changed to Maxell Aqua Park Shinagawa.[17] It is a popular aquarium in the city center, and the annual number of visitors exceeds 1.5 million every year. In 2019, the number of public aquarium visitors in Japan is ranked fourth in JAZA's annual report.[18]

Exhibits

[edit]
Dolphin Performance in The Stadium

Since partnering with Epson and Maxell, aquariums have incorporated projection mapping into entrance hall and dolphin shows.[19] The Stadium has 1,350 seats, and there are shows by Pacific white-sided dolphins, bottlenose dolphins, and false killer whales that make full use of technology such as water curtains. [20][21] Also, the dolphin show at The Stadium is different day and night.[22]

Manta Ray And Dwarf sawfish

A dome-shaped tunnel fishtank with a total length of 20 m (66 ft) named "Wonder Tube" is installed in the facility. In Wonder Tube, about 15 species of rays of various sizes, including manta rays, are kept.[23] This aquarium has the only facilities in the world where dwarf sawfish are kept. There are events such as an experience corner where you can feed krill to manta rays.[20][24]

Various creatures are exhibited on "Wild Street", and penguins, sea turtles, and fur seals are kept there. Many fur seals and otters and sea lions are on display at the small outdoor stadium "Friendly Square".[25]

There is an event live hall called "Stellar Ball" on the grounds of the building. This live hall was produced and named by Yumi Matsutoya. The 1st floor has 1,758 standing seats and 750 seats, and 2nd floor has 126 seats on the terrace and VIP seats.[26]

Facilities

The facility is a two-story building with attractions on the first floor and The Stadium where the dolphin show is held and tunnel fish tanks on the second floor.
