Considered one of the best aquariums in the world and it’s definitely for good reason. Lots of unique fishes that are only available at the site so that’s a great motivation for marine lovers too! Don’t miss out the dolphin show just outside the main auditorium area too.
Это был мой первый опыт посещения океанариума. Я в полном восторге, много интересного и необычного. Кроме самого океанариума рядом в определённое время проходит выступление дельфинов.

Plenty to see and do. There are a number of different performances to watch. Time your trip right and you can watch the various performances. The butterfly park was a little disappointing.
There are some Japanese ancient villages here, with traditional folk costumes and dance performances. There is a performance schedule at the door. It feels very quiet? You can take a look around for an hour. If you want to watch the performance, you can take a leisurely walk for 3 hours.

A special attraction in Okinawa. It is actually very small and I feel that I can walk around it in less than half an hour. I can see wild pineapples on the roadside. It feels quite fun. There is not much else to comment on. The sea is actually very blue~
Cape Manzamo in Okinawa is a stunning spot with a famous elephant trunk-shaped rock formation. It's great for photos, especially at sunset. The area is easy to access and has historical significance. It can get crowded during peak tourist times, but it's a must-see for its natural beauty and cultural value.

Kouri Island is a circular island with a diameter of about 8 km floating in the north of Yagaji Island. Sea urchin and mozuku are the specialties of this island, which are well-known and the fishing industry is prosperous. There is the Okinawan version of the creation myth of Adam and Eve, and ancient sacrificial activities such as the Sea God Festival held after the Bon Festival in July of the old lunar calendar have been passed down.

Passing through Obu Island and Yagaji Island in Nago City, the main island and the bridge are connected.

I highly recommend this activity. It combines excitement, sightseeing and fun. It's worth a try.
I paid 5,500 yen and went out to sea on a speedboat. The humorous helmsman on the boat slowed down to introduce each scenic spot and took photos for tourists.
When the boat arrived at the cave, it felt like an adventure, and the sight of the sea turning into a clear blue was also very beautiful.
The sparkling blue was mystical and a valuable experience.
Our plan was to swim and snorkel to reach the cave, so we were able to interact with the fish to our heart's content.
They also had wetsuits for small children and swim rings that their feet could fit into, which was helpful.
My daughter started crying because she couldn't reach the water, and it was a bit chaotic, so next time I think we might plan to take a boat to the cave.

The Kouri Ocean Tower is a great spot to visit in Okinawa. It offers fantastic views of the ocean and surrounding islands. The observation deck is a perfect place for taking photos and enjoying the scenery. It's a cool place to visit with family or friends. Plus, there's a nice cafe for a quick bite. Don't forget to check it out if you're in Okinawa!
Generally, a day trip to the aquarium will include Kouri Island, but not everyone will go to the Ocean Tower. It was cloudy when we went there, so the scenery was greatly reduced. There is also a battery car from the ticket gate to the Ocean Tower. The highlight is that the battery car is unmanned, and the introduction broadcast will be played in your native language throughout the journey, so you can basically understand the history of Kouri Island and the characteristics of the Ocean Tower in just ten minutes. The shell museum on the first floor, walk around and have a look, the two shell lamps are good, but the price is not cheap. The pumpkin cake on the second floor is the first recommendation, it is not a meal, so I didn’t try it. The third and fourth floors are all viewing platforms, and you can ring the bell on the open-air platform on the top floor.
Because Kouri Island is an island that symbolizes love, couples come to climb the tower and ring the bell that symbolizes love, which is also a good omen. For parent-child travel, it depends on personal circumstances. Compared with the Ocean Tower, my child prefers to dig sand and soak in water at the beach.

The Kouri Bridge is so beautiful under the clear sky. The white bridge is reflected on the blue bridge. Below is the white beach and the clear sea water. There are different depths of sea water on both sides of the bridge. If you drive by yourself, I highly recommend this attraction.

Ocean Expo Park was established in August 1976 to commemorate the Okinawa International Ocean Exposition held in 1975. It has many facilities, including the Dolphin Theater, Emerald Beach, Ocean Culture Museum, Native Village, Botanical Garden, Tropical Dream Center, Tropical and Subtropical Urban Greening Botanical Garden and Sunset Plaza. You will definitely have an unforgettable happy time here.
Ocean Expo Park is connected to the sea. You don’t need to buy a separate ticket for the dolphin show theater inside. You can see it after coming out of the aquarium. The dolphin show is cute and powerful, and the interaction with the audience is very lovely. Remember to prepare a change of clothes.
