The aquarium is great, but when I was there I found the penguin exhibit a bit sad: it's completely indoors, the penguins will never see the sun or sky...

The general state of animal welfare in Japan leaves a lot to be desired.
Aw, that is pretty sad

The Calgary Zoo has a mixed indoor/outdoor habitat for the penguins. During the winter the King Penguins are outside, and they even organize a daily walk for them where they get to leave their enclosure entirely

How would a penguin take Japan's outdoor climate?
they also never experience violent death by orcas, foxes, sea lions or leopard seals
