Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium

沖縄美ら海水族館

This massive aquarium is jam-packed with interesting creatures and marine life from the ocean waters surrounding Okinawa.

This aquarium is the first in the world to successfully breed multiple whale sharks and manta rays. You can see them in the large "Kuroshio Sea" tank. Make sure to check out the corals, tropical fish, and deep-sea fish as well. There are also exhibits outside the building featuring sea turtles, manatees, and more!
