42nd Sony Aquarium Free At Sony Building (Japan)

Around this time every year, the Sony Building in Tokyo (Ginza), Japan has an event called the Sony Aquarium. It’s a rather popular exhibit because they basically allow everyone to view hundreds of rare fish for free in a real and simulated (Projector – 4K HD) aquarium. This year’s Sony Aquarium exhibit runs from July 20th to August 31st, and has numerous fish on loan from the Okinawa Sea Aquarium. Outside the Sony Building is a 14 ton tank, and has about 40 species for a total of 1,000 fish including cute tropical fish, sharks, rays, sand creatures, and so forth.

Here’s a trailer by Sony Japan:

On the inside, visitors can view a nine minute video (portions in the video above) of aquatic life in spectacular 3D 4K HD. This event is very popular – last year’s Sony Aquarium pulled millions of visitors.

Sony is also using this as a vehicle to teach youngsters about ecology, fish habits, and other exhibits.

This exhibit allows visitors to touch shark skin.
