Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium Ticket

Okinawa's #1 Must-Visit Destination,
Churaumi Aquarium

A utopia of beautiful seas and mysterious marine animals! We invite you to the Churaumi Aquarium in Okinawa! The Churaumi Aquarium is one of the most beloved tourist destinations in Okinawa and a must-visit course that you should prepare in advance if you plan to travel to Okinawa. 

Here, you can find various marine creatures such as manta rays and whale sharks that are hard to see in other aquariums. The sight of marine creatures swimming gracefully in the super-sized aquarium is a spectacle you can't see anywhere else! We also recommend taking pictures with the super-sized aquarium in the background. In addition, there's no time to be bored with various themes and shows where you can admire colorful coral reefs or meet deep-sea animals. 
 

1F / Discover tanks that recreate the deep sea of Okinawa

First, the 1st floor of the Churaumi Aquarium is designed as a space where you can see various underwater scenes with the concept of 'recreating the deep sea of Okinawa'.

The deep sea, a sea full of countless mysteries, commonly refers to the sea exceeding 200m in depth, and it perfectly recreates that mysterious world. You can see about 100 species of organisms that have not been introduced until now beyond the transparent acrylic.

2F / Introducing the Kuroshio Sea

The main attraction of the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium, the ‘Kuroshio Sea’, is a place where you can learn more about the ecology of sharks. At the Churaumi Theater, you can watch high-vision videos about the ecology of various creatures living in Okinawa's Churaumi and the relationship between the people of Okinawa and the sea, and you can understand the shark ecosystem in the shark room.

The highlight is the Aqua Room that you meet through the huge acrylic panel on the front! You can admire whale sharks and manta rays swimming in groups in a large tank with a capacity of 7,500m3.
