Yumegahama Aquarium and Marine Center is set on Tokyo Harbor, built halfway into the water. It is shaped in a wide circle and sticks upwards about five stories off of the ground. It has a large outdoor area that is closed in the winter, though the Aquarium interior remains open year round.

The outdoor area contains a small area for seals, and the dolphin tank; that draws large crowds in the summer. The animals are taken to interior care facilities during the winter and late fall months as not to submit them to rigors of a Tokyo winter. The door to the inside is marked with a large arch that's decorated with sea animals like fish and sharks and dolphins, and bears the title 'Yumegahama Aquarium - Entrance and Exit!' on it.

The inside contains the penguin exhibit at the front, complete with small colony of penguins. It tends to be a large draw for young children, and it sits about two levels down in a small well, as not to allow the penguins to easily escape -- though one or two have in the past, somehow.

Yumegahama Aquarium however, is known for its giant reef tank in the center that goes from the bottom of the facility to the top. While it's a large reef tank, it's primarily known as 'The Shark Tank' which boasts a bunch of various types and kinds of sharks in the tank. It is one of the aquarium's defining features for which it is known for.

There are a variety of smaller tanks in the aquarium overall, as well as a tide pool tank and such containing all sorts of variety of aquatic life for which people can view, from a jellyfish tank to a tank of piranhas, to even a tank of some local freshwater species.

Of course, there is the most often either liked or maligned gift shop on the exit out. Better get your overprice souvenir pens while you can!

There is also a small Marine Biology Center in the back, near the water- where scientists study the life in Tokyo Harbor and monitor water pollution.
