What other travelers are saying about Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium
A one of largest aquariums in the world. It has a vast amount of facilities and walkable places. Even food trucks are in the adjacent park. The interior of the aquarium was clean and neat, and provided both detailed English and Japanese. It was not like a typical aquarium where only visited to watch beautiful things. Since this facility is also an advanced research lab to study and conserve sea lives, You can really learn new things about marine lives. It's highly recommended to bring children if they're interested in this field. However, when I visited that place, the overall facility was overcrowded with visitors, so the experience itself was not so satisfactory, though.
The large tank containing various kinds of fish. Its show by major 3 rooms large window, small window and bottom view room, those are provided with large number of seats.
Overall are satisfied us as best aquarium in the world from our experience.
However, we do have some minor comments that not rated score 5 as follows:
-water are seem to not so clear
-board to present fish information are missing important info such as where this fish could find in the world
-number of kind of fish consider less than the Tokyo Sea Life Park aquarium near Tokyo disney land with price a lot cheaper.
-environment and lighting arrangements in each tank also not as good as Tokyo Sea Life Park
I went twice! It was that amazing. The first time, it rained, which added a certain charm to the experience. Despite the weather, we managed to check out a few sights. But the second time was even better – the weather was perfect! We explored even more and truly soaked in the beauty of the place. The contrast between the two visits made each one memorable in its own way. Can't wait to go back again!
I felt overwhelmed by the sheer size of the famous whale shark and the variety of ray fish here. The tank is so huge and there’s lots of other sea creatures to see with detailed information provided. We spent like four or five hours in this aquarium and did not get bored.
One of the best aquariums in Asia. More importantly is not pricey at all. In fact very affordable. You don’t necessary need to know Japanese to understand. Went to see the whale shark and it’s remarkable and really worth visiting.
