Churaumi Aquarium (Ocean Expo Park) | Okinawa, Japan
20 Jun
If you live on Okinawa and have not seen Ocean Expo Park and their famous attractions, then what are you doing?
Churaumi Aquarium or Ocean Expo Park is full of fun and great things to do. Some of the attractions include a theater, Dolphin studio, Sea Turtle pool, Manatee house, Dolphin Lagoon, museum, native Okinawan village, Emerald beach, restaurants, and the massive indoor aquarium.

I would suggest planning a full day trip if you want to enjoy everything the park has to offer. It is very easy to spend a couple hours in just one location without knowing it. 
It is hard not to be amazed by the size of their tank. One tank holds three whale sharks and other various marine life.
Because Ocean Expo Park is so large, they offer an electric tour car to take you around the sites.
- Electric Tour Cars provide you a comfortable ride in the Ocean Expo Park.
- The carfare is 200 Yen/day (one day excursion ticket). You can choose one-way ticket, 100 Yen/ride, also.
