The Fantas Aquarium
Loosens the body and unwinds the mind
That’s the world of the Fantas Aquarium.
Images and music are interwoven with natural elements that gently sway throughout the venue.
A wafting screen that you can touch makes it appear as if fish and jellyfish are floating right before your eyes.
These elements work together to stimulate the senses and invite you into a world of freedom.
The Fantas Aquarium uses a technique called Fantas Projection to deliver a richly stimulating sensory experience through a combination of image projection, music, and gently swaying screens.
We want the Fantas Aquarium to be an experience, a place that stirs physical and mental reactions and spawns surprising new forms of communication.
Hoping to create an experience that “loosens the body and unwinds the mind,” we work with people from schools and facilities to explore potential new ideas and performances to stimulate the senses.
We are using the Fantas Aquarium to bring a richly stimulating sensory experience to as many people as possible.
Voices of Participants
These are some of the things we’ve heard from people who have experienced the Fantas Aquarium or Fantas Car at special-needs schools, hospitals, and welfare facilities.
The Fantas Aquarium brings people together
The Fantas Aquarium is a visual production created with the cooperation of the staff of special-needs schools, hospitals, welfare facilities, aquariums, and zoos, as well as with a video and music production crew. What they all have in common is the desire to deliver a rich experience.

The Fantas Aquarium has been enjoyed by some 43,966 people at 136 locations in Japan since 2015. In 2020, we began loaning Fantas Cars. To date, these have been used at 51 locations in Japan and enjoyed by a total of 14,627 people.
Employee volunteers
Employees from across the country in all kinds of jobs volunteer to participate in the program. On the day of the event, they are there to help set up the venue and ensure that everyone who visits has a safe and enjoyable experience.
