Sky Aquarium (スカイアクアリウム)

Make that Sky Aquarium III: Revenge of the Sky Aquarium!

While I never had the chance to attend episodes I and II, I'm very happy that I was able to close out the aquatic trilogy.

Sky Aquarium is a yearly exhibition held in the uber-luxurious Roppongi Hills Tower in Tokyo. Japan's premier aquarium designers get together and create artistic tank designs using a wide variety of tropical fish.

The "sky" refers to the fact that the display is held on the 52nd floor of the tower, thus enabling visitors to gaze at the illuminated Tokyo skyline while wiggling their index fingers at fish.

Some of the tanks were very cool! Please check out the photos and videos below.
