Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium, located within the Ocean Expo Park in Okinawa, is one of the largest and most spectacular aquariums in the world. Renowned for its massive Kuroshio Tank, which holds 7,500 cubic meters of water, the aquarium offers visitors a stunning view of life beneath the waves, including manta rays and whale sharks, the largest fish species in the ocean.

The name "Churaumi" translates to "beautiful sea" in Okinawan, and the aquarium lives up to this name by showcasing the incredible biodiversity of the Pacific Ocean. As you wander through the aquarium, you'll journey through various marine environments, from deep sea to coral reefs, each meticulously recreated to offer a glimpse into the complex ecosystems of the underwater world.

What sets Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium apart is not just its scale or the variety of species displayed but also its commitment to marine research and conservation. The aquarium's breeding and research programs aim to increase public awareness and understanding of marine life and the importance of ocean conservation.
