Churaumi Aquarium🐟

Location: Churaumi Aquarium Address: 424 Ishikawa, Motobu-cho, Kunigami-gun, Okinawa 905-0206 It is located in the Ocean Expo Park, about a 2-hour drive from Naha Airport, and parking is free!! Admission fee is 2,180 yen for adults Personally, it is the best aquarium in Japan☝️!! The opening time is very early, from 8:30 in the morning, so I recommend going when it is still a little cooler. Even so, the outside area is extremely hot, so hydration is essential!! 💦 The Okinawa-like "Coral Sea" exhibit is similar to other aquariums, but compared to those, this is a very beautiful tank with colorful fish swimming under a much brighter light. And of course, the main attraction is the huge tank with whale sharks and manta rays swimming in it. I was surprised at how big it was, even compared to the divers (staff) inside‼ ️. There was also a black manta ray, which is rare to see even in the natural ocean. I also saw an adorable manatee eating cabbage with its hands!! ☺️✨ As the aquarium is also a research facility, there were many academic exhibits. I was particularly surprised at the number of new species discovered here. I definitely want to go to this aquarium again♪🐟 #Okinawa #OkinawaTrip #OkinawaTourism #777 #ChuraumiAquarium
