Hey! Instead of me going to Okinawa, Okinawa came to me! Gotta get to Ginza! 270 yen cheap!

Seen this a few times. If the top of the photo was cropped to exclude the water this would have been an even better photo: "Sharks floating around Ginza"

Those are just babies! Poor things! You can see them out snorkeling/diving in many places like Malaysia, Okinawa... Very beautiful to watch in their natural habitat.

It is great to go to the cafe by the aquarium, drink beer and watch the fish.
I miss the roller coster they used to have there... Anybody remember that?

Poor fish. What point does it serve to plonk them in the middle of Ginza?

@ tmarie, adult size of a large female is 2 meters for these sharks.So, they aren't exactly babies unless they are under 60cm long.

They aren't anywhere near two meters and rather small.

Got to see it. You couldn't do this in big cities in the States. Some retarded wanna be gangster thug would probably shoot the glass just to watch the sharks spill out on the road.

Shark 1: "Hey, dude look at that! These people are watching us from outside."
Shark 2: "Yeah. They're curious about what we're doing down here. Watching people who are jealous of us swimming in cold water. That’s why we are so mean to them. Hehe!"
Shark 1: "Yep. Making people jealous ’cuz there's no place to swim in Ginza. And it's too hot out there."
