From December 26th until the end of February, Tokyo's Shinagawa Aquarium is hosting a special event dedicated to deep sea creatures. The exhibition will focus on 20 deep-sea creatures with different characteristics than those you usually see at aquariums, and on weekends and holidays during the event visitors will have the opportunity to touch some of them.

A range of limited-edition souvenirs will also be available at the on-site Marine Shop Seagull, including plush toys of popular deep-sea creatures.
