[Okinawa Prefecture/Motobu Town] An aquarium where you can see whale sharks

Okinawa Prefecture 🫧 Motobu Town
Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium

I've been here many times, but it's still one of my favorite aquariums because it's top-level.

It's located inside the Ocean Expo Park in Motobu Town, so you can enjoy it for a whole day, not just the aquarium, but also by taking a walk and touring other facilities.

You can see the majestic world of Okinawan creatures, which is rare on the main island.

In the "Coral Sea" tank, where sunlight pours in, there is a large-scale coral breeding exhibition.

And the largest fish, the whale shark, is 8.8m long!!

Its graceful swimming is beautiful...
You can observe the world's first successfully bred Alpine manta ray

The huge tank "Kuroshio Sea" is a masterpiece...!

The "Deep Sea" tank, which recreates the deep sea of ​​Okinawa, is also interesting!

You can also enjoy dolphin shows and sea turtles and other creatures!
