Lycoris Recoil - Sumida Aquarium

Next I visited Sumida Aquarium which is also shown in Lycoris Recoil.



Image from Episode 2 - 05m10s


I took a Tobu Skytree line train to Tokyo Skytree Station from Asakusa since there's a single shot of the platforms here shown in the anime. The station is under renovations, but you can still see matching parts.




Image from Episode 9 - 18m57s


This is the outsides of the aquarium, which is shown in episode 9.




Image from Episode 9 - 18m58s


Highly reflective glass panels here.




Image from Episode 9 - 19m00s


Similar looking floor tiles.




Image from Episode 9 - 19m03s


The entrance itself.




Image from Episode 9 - 19m09s


Luckily the place wasn't closed like in the show.




Image from Episode 9 - 19m11s


But there were a lot of schools doing class trips here when I visited though.




Image from Episode 4 - 11m13s


The insides of the aquarium was shown in episode 4.




Image from Episode 4 - 11m15s


Same type of fish.




Image from Episode 4 - 11m18s


Chisato and Takina inside the aquarium.




Image from Episode 4 - 11m21s


Chisato shows off her annual pass.




Image from Episode 4 - 11m32s


Although they have some matching fish they don't actually have seahorses at this aquarium, so here's a shot of a goldfish tank instead.




Image from Episode 4 - 11m40s


They do have lots of spotted garden eels though.




Image from Episode 4 - 11m46s


Chisato does her spotted garden eel dance.




Image from Episode 4 - 11m50s


The eels are super popular so it was difficult getting pictures without anybody in it here.




Image from Episode 4 - 12m02s


This is the main fish tank in the aquarium which is called Water's Blessing Tokyo Tank.




Image from Episode 4 - 12m07s


Chisato is still doing her dance here.




Image from Episode 4 - 12m18s


Chisato sits down next to Takina. The areas around the fish tank doesn't seem to match.




Image from Episode 4 - 12m38s


Another couple standing in for Chisato and Takina in this picture.




Image from Episode 4 - 13m48s


This area was cordoned off when I visited. It seemed to be an area where kids could make drawings and do other crafts.




Image from Episode 4 - 14m23s


The tank shown here is actually not for fish but for penguins in real life.




Image from Episode 4 - 14m31s


"Sakana"




Image from Episode 4 - 11m32s


Chisato is amused...




Image from Episode 4 - 14m37s


And joins Takina. This table is not the one shown in the anime, but it was outside of the cordoned off area.



No location map since it's just Tokyo Skytree Station and Sumida Aquarium.
