reef aquarium shop in Tokyo area?

[jtegnell]

Is there a decent reef aquarium shop in the Tokyo area?

Thanks in advance!

With the 7 million + people living there, I would certainly hope so!

No, seriosuly, I know there is, but I can't help you beyond that.

Well, my Japanese speaking skills are bad, and my reading skills are worse. That limits me to those shops I happen upon -- thus the post!

You'd be surprised. They are all of them exclusively fresh water planted tank shops.

Every place Ive seen a tank here as well has been a fresh water planted tank. 100% of them (excepting the giant museum aquariums).

Did a search. Haven't been to the shop but looks promising.

Looks like the closest subway station is the Hon-Komagome station on the Namboku subway line (the small rectangular box on the upper right side of the map).

And a Tokyo subway map in English:

Hope that helps.

Found another one.

Located in central Tokyo so it might be easier to get to.

Looks like the closest train station is the Ootsuka station off of the JR Yamanote line (north exit) - located at the far left of the map. Store is the black dot in the bottom center of the map

And a JR East Tokyo train map in English:

Interesting to see how many American products they carry :)
