A Hotspot for Architecture Enthusiasts!
Inside the park are architectural works by world-class architect Yoshio Taniguchi. One is the Tokyo Sea Life Park, famous for the immense glass dome that reaches up to 30.7 meters high. Another is the “Crystal View” observatory rest house, a glass-paneled observatory that is so transparent that the building itself blends in with the sky and ocean beyond. It is also a great place to enjoy the sunset.
