Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium, Okinawa Prefecture, Japan

4.5 (5.501 reviews) Sunday: 8:30 AM - 5:30 PM Spent Ranking #1 in Okinawa Prefecture Aquariums

Best Aquarium

This is the best aquarium I ever visit, with the best dolphin show and very informative exhibitions of fishes and sea creatures. Dolphins show was very entertaining and we were very impressed with their performance. The whale sharks in the huge glass tank was the other big attraction that kept us standing there staring and enjoying their swim with the other smaller fishes. It was so fun and enjoying to be in this aquarium that time flew so fast that we exceeded our planned duration and had to drop the next place to visit.

Probably the best attraction in Okinawa
Having toured Okinawa island for 8 days. I would say that this is the best attraction that Okinawa offers, and is easily one of the best aquarium in the world. There are lots of variety of fishes and even a great whale shark. They have some tanks with the meanest and uglies looking fishes. The café was a little pricey and didn’t offer much variety, but you get to sit at the glass seat facing the aquarium for 45 minutes with any purchase which was great. Planning to visit the timing of the various shows were difficult as the aquarium was generally in a single direction flow, so maybe its better to plan your route when you get the brochure if you want to fully maximise your time. Definitely do not miss out on the dolphin show as they train their dolphin pretty well to do lots of tricks. Dolphin seems happy when performing too even though they probably do a show ever other hour every single day.
