The Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium is located at the end of the headquarters (Motobu) Peninsula, which extends to the northern and western parts of Okinawa Prefecture. It is an aquarium that has been loved by many people since its reopening in 2002.

The charm of this aquarium is that anyone, not only adults but also children to grandpas and grandmas can enjoy it. There is no doubt that you will be healed by the appearance of colorful fish swimming and the appearance of the corals.
It is such an Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium, but it is too attractive, and there are places where you can overlook just by walking? Here, we will introduce how to capture children's tension.

Adults and children are very excited! Kuroshio Exploration Course

The main spot of the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium, the Kuroshio Sea, is the world's largest aquarium.

If you look at the whale sharks swimming slowly, you may forget your time. In addition, you can enjoy a variety of fish such as manta and bonito. The capture point in the Kuroshio trip area is the Kuroshio exploration (water viewing course). You can see the world's largest aquarium from directly above.

From 11:00 to 17:30, you cannot view it due to animal health management work, but from 8:30 to 11:00 (admission deadline: 10:45), 17:30-closed (15 minutes before closing the entrance deadline) Until then, you can freely go to the aquarium using the elevator near the Kuroshio Sea on the first floor.
There is an acrylic panel deck on top of the aquarium! Adults will also be excited about the scale of whale shark seen from directly above. It will be an irreplaceable experience for children, but be careful not to keep an eye on it, as it is dangerous to froze.

A play area? Looking up at the sea of Kuroshio from the Aqua Room

If you look at the Kuroshio sea from above, let's look up from below. The view from the huge acrylic panel is magnificent, but the "Kuroshio Sea" looking up in the aqua room ahead is also a must-see.

In the Aqua Room, if you are lucky, you can see Aid swimming like a semi-dome-shaped ceiling! Once you go down, you will return to the top again, and the appearance of going down again looks like a child playing in the park. The smile would be spilled out in an incredible manner.
Even if you can't see him swimming, the appearance of manta and whale shark approaching soon is Osako's power. We often see the sights of children being too obsessed with their mouths open and solidified.

A mysterious deep sea world

After passing the "Kuroshio Sea", the next section is a trip to the deep sea. Are you aware of it? Yes, the aquarium here is designed to go deep from the shallows to the deep sea. The entrance is on the third floor and the exit is on the first floor, so you can capture while descending. Here, you can meet creatures living in the deep sea, which you can't usually see. Children are curious about unusual fish and fish that emit light like fireflies. There are many adults who look into the aquarium together with children.


How was it? The Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium has so many other attractions that can not be conveyed here. The memories of the family I made here will not faded.
Finally, do not forget to create a commemorative medal that can engrave the date and name.

※The viewing time of the Kuroshio Exploration (water viewing course) may be changed.
