After an amazing journey through the ocean it’s time to take a look at how life looks in rivers around the world. Are you prepared for Waterfront Journey in Sunshine Aquarium?

Would you like to see a shark, penguin, ocean sunfish, giant octopus and dyeing dart frog on the rooftop of a skyscraper in the middle of the city? Just go to Sunshine City Aquarium then! Located in Ikebukuro, Tokyo, it's really a place worth seeing.

The festival starts at 18th of April and ends at 6th of April. The wisteria is not the only attraction. Among the best ones are: food and Kodō (drumming troupe).

Food booth- looks like fried balls with filling

This one smelled great

Bananas (I would be careful with calling this chocolate, it might be red bean paste)

Japanese ice-cream which is basically ice with juice on top

Gold fish hunting!

This thing was really long

Shish kebabs? In Japan?

That's how you make cool beverages. Who needs tourist fridge in Country Of High Tech?

My favouirte- fish on stick grilled around the pile of coal

Dorayaki (filled pancakes)

This one looks familiar :)

Okonomiyaki (Japanese savoury pancake)

Octopus on a stick

Wisteria for sale

 Another popular thing to do during festival is buying charms and talismans, so the shrine’s mikos had a lot of work that day.

100 yen fortune

And finally, the best of the best: Kodō (鼓童) a professional taiko (big Japanese drums) troupe and their show.

Kameido Tenjin Shrine (Shitamachi-no Tenjin-sama -Tenjin shrine of downtown Tokyo) is a place really worth seeing. Surrounded by houses and blocks of flats, hidden from the main street, this place surprises with it’s beautiful garden. There’s a pond and some bridges as well as some animals.

Apart from the Main Hall and the gates, there’s a lot more to see on temple’s ground.

My trip to the Tokyo Tower started a little late (at 5 pm) and since there was a Zōjō temple on the way, by the time I reached the tower the sun was already setting and I could have seen Tokyo lights by night.
