Ameya-Yokochō (アメヤ横丁 Ameya alley?) is an open-air market in the Taito Ward of Tokyo, Japan, located next to Ueno Station.
The market is approximately 164,227 square feet in area, starting just behind the Yodobashi Camera building and following the Yamanote Line south until the Komuro building.
There are two theories on the etymology of Ameya. The first is that the name came from ameya (飴屋 candy shop), because of all the candy stores that lined the street in the early post-war era when sugar was hard to come by. Even now, there are stores selling candy there. The second theory is that it refers to アメリカ (America)

SUMIDA AQUARIUM uses only artificial seawater for all tanks except freshwater tanks by employing Taisei Corporation’s artificial seawater production system.
SUMIDA AQUARIUM is Japan’s second aquarium in Japan, and the first in the Kanto region, to use only artificial seawater, following KYOTO AQUARIUM, which is also operated by ORIX Real Estate. (KYOTO AQUARIUM opened on Wednesday, March 14, 2012 at 35-1 Kankijicho Kyoto Shimogyo-ku, Kyoto).
Use of this artificial seawater curtails CO2 emissions released when seawater is transported using large water tankers from port, which was an issue for inland aquariums.
