Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Mar)
Churaumi Aquarium - Okinawa
Churaumi Aquarium is located on the northern part of Okinawa, about an hour and a half drive from Naha. The aquarium is situated close to the seaside, where visitors can also enjoy the view of the ocean upon entering the aquarium. The aquarium features diverse species of marine life, which are predominantly native or can be found on the coasts of Japan. The aquarium is also the first facility in the world to artificially birthed a shark. Information on the marine species are available in both Japanese and English.

This is the Churaumi aquarium located in Motobu town, Okinawa. Travelling by car would be an easier choice but there are are also buses that you can take from the airport. I don’t know why but it just feels very therapeutic just to sit there and look at the large Kuroshio sea aquarium, looking at them swimming around. Also do catch their feeding time too! It’s interesting to watch. There is also beluga whale and dolphin show~ They are just too cute! There is also a small park and a sea view to enjoy~
I wish that I could visit more aquariums in the future

hello marine creatures!
It is a very nice place to immerse in the presence of marine creatures.
1. For the outdoors, there is a performance by the dolphins, which was very entertaining.
2. For the indoor, relax by watching the whale sharks swim around.
Do get an audio guide to appreciate more!

Okinawa trip
My friend and I went to Okinawa. It was an amazing trip! the best part is Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium. There are different kind of species. I also recommend for family trip. The Aquarium is well-organized and clean. The city is also very nice. It is somehow different from other cities in Japan, in term of the styles and building. However, Amazing authentic Japanese food are still around the corner! We went there only 3 days but I think we got all the places in our list. We rent a car and drove around the city which is very convenient.
We booked a hotel very close to Aquarium As mentioned above, this place is amazing!#gooutside #staycation #passionpassport

Ocean Expo Park Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Mar)
Okinawa Attractions: Kouri + Churaumi
1. Kouri Ocean Tower
Address - 538 Kouri, Nakijin, Kunigami District, Okinawa 905-0406
Highlights - “Observation tower overlooking the sea.” Pictures do not give Kouri island justice. Tower is beautiful by itself but I think the ocean is the prettiest. Standing by the tower and seeing the bright blue of the ocean is a sight to see.
Rating - 4.2
2. Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium
Address - 424 Ishikawa, Motobu, Kunigami District, Okinawa 905-0206
Highlights - The aquarium is actually located inside a large park area with other great attractions. The aquarium was once considered one of the biggest aquariums in the world. If you ever visit, you will notice that the place holds a variety of different marine animals and species. It can be very picturesque as well!

Okinawa-forest tunnel to the sea
Really, Motobu Town in the north of Okinawa not only has the famous Ocean Expo Park, but also a very niche attraction called Fukumulin Road.This is a hidden village surrounded by Fukumulin, with a total of 20,000+ Shurong
For more than 300 years, Fukugi was planted by the Okinawa people who lived there for the sake of moisture and wind, and over time, it formed a pleasant forest rain road. When the weather is good, stroll through it.
The sun flickers among the dense foliage, the old tree roots are intertwined, as if entering the fairy tale world of the Wizard of Oz. There are two main roads in the entire area, as well as many dense trails leading to the seaside.
The end of the lush forest tunnel is the blue sea, so the quiet picture makes people look forward to it. Many Okinawa locals will come here to take pictures of wedding dresses!
Get the other side of the blue sky and sea of Okinawa. You can also rent a bicycle at the entrance, or experience the special buffalo cart, and have fun.

Ocean Expo Park located at Okinawa, Japan is a very spacious park with several major attractions, including Tropical Dream Center, which has many tropical trees and flowers, and Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium. Apart from the most visited aquarium, there are other facilities around the park. My favorite actually goes to the Sea Culture Museum with an impressive collection of canoes and ships, as well as anthropological exhibits of the Pacific Islands. Very impressive aquarium! Well maintained and the big shark tank is impressive! Dolphin show is nice too!

The beautiful sea aquarium is one of the important destinations for my trip. In order to stay in the aquarium for an extra hour, I can arrange time to watch various performances. I did not book a day trip, but I took a fast bus from Naha. The aquarium really didn't disappoint me. The two phones didn't get electricity. Although the temperature in Okinawa was humid and humid in September, it was good to be air-conditioned indoors and to have fun.
The ocean around Okinawa is a habitat that is formed by the three elements of the huge warm current "black tide", coral reefs, and the deep sea in the east and west of the South West Islands. It is a mysterious sea world with rare world rare earth populations. The beautiful sea aquarium condenses the Okinawa waters by means of waves, Kuroshio and deep sea tours, giving visitors a comprehensive Okinawa sea.
Entering from the entrance, the first part is the touch pool, which is close to the creatures in the coral reef pool.
Looking and watching, turning a corner, the huge "sea of the Kuroshio" appeared in front of me. I have seen countless photos of the Kuroshio Sea before, but only at the scene can I feel the shock and excitement of the scene. In the 7,500 cubic meters of sea water, three giant whale sharks over 14 meters swim around your head, from time to time to meet you or pass by.
Walking down the spiral staircase, close to the glass of the 10-meter high sink, in front of the huge sea screen, people are so small. Look closely at the depths of the blue, up to five or six meters, only one thin tail has more than 1 meter long ghost manta, black "ghost face" drifting, it is easy to be scared.

Tropical Dream Center Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Mar)
Okinawa tropical
#thingstodo What a beautiful gem on the island of Okinawa. A well-designed and well-cared for botanical garden with an impressive array of butterflies along its easy to follow path. A great place to visit whether you’re living on the island or just visiting, and absolutely worth the drive from anywhere on the island. This is one of my favorite places on Okinawa.

Tropical Dream Center
#thingstodo It was very beautiful. We enjoyed our visit a lot. We went when the tulips were in bloom, which I highly recommend if you're here during that time.
Not the most stroller/wheel chair friendly. There were a few spots that did not have ramps or elevators to complete the tour of the center. We had to carry our stroller in these areas.
They have stamps kids can collect in different areas. There is also a craft area inside the building, a cafe, and a large area that looks like an arena where our kid played and ran.

Yaedake Sakuranomori Park Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Mar)
Sakura is the national flower of Japan, and Okinawa is the earliest place for Japanese cherry blossoms. To see the cherry blossoms, Okinawa can sneak a sneak peek.
Yakusho is the earliest open place for Okinawa cherry blossoms. The cherry blossoms that open from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain adorned the Yae-jou into a sea of flowers. Yae-Yue is very big, cherry blossoms are not concentrated, and many tourists are driving to watch. Because Yae-Yuyue has fewer cars and narrow roads, it is easy to cause traffic jams during cherry blossom viewing.
In addition, the famous street is also full of tourists who enjoy cherry blossoms. In addition to the cherry blossoms, the entire city will go to the party on the street, very lively. The famous park next to the Orion brewery is where the cherry blossoms bloom. The location of
Naha Cherry Blossom Festival is located in the Park of Heyi Park in Naha City, with about 400 cherry trees. It is not far from the international park, the Huwu, and the Makishi public market. Walking, monorail, or taxis are easy to reach.
