How to capture Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium! The heart of kids!

The charm of this aquarium is that everyone, from children to grandpa and grandma, can enjoy it as well as adults. There is no doubt that you will be healed by the colorful fish swimming and the appearance of appearing between corals.
Although it is such Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium, there are too many attractions, and there may be places where you can overlook just walking?　Here, we will introduce how to capture the tension of children.

The main spot of the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium, Kuroshio Sea, is one of the largest aquariums in the world.

If you watch the whale shark swim slowly, you may forget the time. In addition, you can enjoy swimming of various fish such as manta and gurukuma flock. The capture point in the travel area to Kuroshio is Kuroshio exploration (water viewing course). You can see one of the largest aquariums in the world from above.

From 11:00 to 17:30, you will not be able to view it due to animal health management work, but from 8:30 to 11:00 (admission deadline: 10:45), 17:30 to closing (admission deadline: 15 minutes before closing) You can go to the aquarium freely using the elevator near the Kuroshio Sea on the first floor.
There is a deck of acrylic panels on the aquarium, which is impressive! Adults will be excited about the scale of the whale shark seen from above. It is an irreplaceable experience for children, but be careful not to keep an eye on it, as it is dangerous to rush.

If you look at the sea of Kuroshio from above, let's look up from below. The view from the giant acrylic panel is spectacular, but you can also see the "Kuroshio Sea" that you can see in the Aqua Room beyond it.

In the Aqua Room, if you are lucky, you can see the ray swimming like a semi-dome-shaped ceiling!　Once you go down, you return to the top again, and the appearance of going down is like a child playing in the park. The smile will be spilled out of your mind.
Even if you can't see the ray swimming, the appearance of manta and whale shark approaching up close is Osako power. I often see the sight of children becoming too crazy and opening their mouths and solidifying.

After passing the "Kuroshio Sea", the next is the journey corner to the deep sea. Have you noticed?　Yes, the aquarium here is designed to go deep from shallow waters to deep seas. The entrance is on the third floor and the exit is on the first floor, so you can capture while going down. Here, you can meet creatures living in the deep sea that you can not usually see. Children are curious about unusually-looking fish and fish that emit light like fireflies. There are many adults who look into the aquarium mixed with the children.

How was it?　At the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium, there are so many other attractions that I can't tell here. The memories of the family I made here will surely not fade.
Finally, don't forget to create a commemorative medal that can engrave the date and name.
