An aquarium where the magnificent world of Okinawan creatures full of mystery spreads out.
You can enjoy a large-scale coral breeding exhibition in the "Coral Sea" aquarium where the sun shines. The Kuroshio Sea, a giant Osako-powered aquarium where you can observe the world's largest fish whale shark and the world's first successful breeding Nanyomanta. In addition, you can experience the whole sea of Okinawa in the "deep sea" aquarium that reproduces the deep sea of Okinawa wrapped in mystery.

Where is the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium only?
Enjoy the "Kuroshio Sea" where whale sharks and manta swim from various angles! There are many spots in the museum full of highlights. My advice is to visit first in the morning. The Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium is open from 8:30 a.m., and during that time, the road and parking lot are relatively vacant. In addition, there are various good benefits, such as feeding of manta once at 9:30 in the morning, and lunch avoiding peaks.
