GAKYO UWS ENTERTAIMENT DAIBA TOKYO

Ahead of its time —
the ultimate Japanese aquarium
AQUA CITY ODAIBA

Having produced NARA　KINGYO　MUSEUM (Japan’s largest goldfish aquarium), UNDER WATER SPACE (a space travel-themed aquarium in Yokohama), and the Aerial Aquarium SORAKIN (in the Gold Tower, Kagawa Prefecture), enthralling some 500,000 people altogether, UWS AQUARIUM has opened a new aquarium in AQUA CITY ODAIBA—the ultimate aquarium GA☆KYO, created on the theme of expressing miyabi—the traditional Japanese sense of beauty—through the medium of an aquarium.
Produced by earth creator GA☆KYO, this is the ultimate entertainment aquarium, remixing Japanese cultural traditions and legends such as the Dragon Palace Castle, kaleidoscopes, and courtesan processions.
Presenting five magical spaces where, through all five senses, you can experience a dynamic, yet delicate Japanese “beauty” created by man together with the beating heart of living underwater “beauty” born of nature.

FLOOR

WABISABI
(“Simplicity and Elegance”)

This display expresses the Japanese mindset with delicate driftwood, bonsai, and crystals.
Swimming gracefully within a world created by the sound of water, the scent of fresh greenery, and powerful driftwood, the nishikigoi (brocaded carp) are like works of art, ink paintings on a hanging scroll.

OIRAN
(“Elite Courtesans”)

Likening fluttering goldfish to a procession of courtesans dressed in gorgeous feather robes, this installation art exudes a neo-Japanesque mood.

RYUGU
(“Palace of the Dragon God”)

Created in the image of the mythical undersea Dragon Palace Castle in the waters off Odaiba, Tokyo, this magical space is the aquarium’s main area. Aquariums, terrariums, driftwood art, and fish tank art explode the concept of aquariums with GA☆KYO-style novel and ingenious ideas.
This masterpiece is the culmination of the aquarium creator’s challenge over 30 years.

YURAKU
(“Pleasure”)

The term yuraku literally means “play and enjoy”. This special exhibition zone allows you to experience interactive attractions incorporating modern technologies x goldfish scoop games x fortune-telling omikuji = denkin (electronic money) fortunes within a space designed in the image of Japan’s four seasons.

MANGEKYO
(Kaleidoscope)

Utilizing light reflection to produce various changing patterns, MANGEKYO kaleidoscopes are a form of Japanese illusion dating back to ancient times..
Featuring mainly colorful ornamental fish, this collaborative work entices you into an overwhelmingly magical space filled with paintings by Nigamushi Tsuyoshi displaying a diversity of visual direction within a space created with Mirrorbowlers, a group of Japanese artists.
