Let's go to Japan! Okinawa(3) Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium

After going to Shuri Castle,Okinawa World and Peace Memorial Park, it become the last day i stayed in Okinawa and this will be the last post of the Okinawa series. Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium is loacated in Ocean Expo Park. Since I ran out of time, I only went through part of the Ocean Expo which is the Aquarium. It was built in 1975 for the Ocean Expo. It built along the coast which is about 3 kilometers long. It has shuttle buses operate around the park. There are more than 650 species of fish in the Aquarium with 3 massive whale sharks.

 

The Kuroshio Tank is the 2nd largest tank in Asia.
From this photo you may get the feeling of how big is the tank is:

There is a Okichan theater in the park has Dophin performance every day at 11am.

 

This pretty animal call Manatees. She is so cute!!! she actually would cover her face when see us putting up the camera at her.

 Nevertheless, there is a experience tank letting out to have a feeling of the starfishes. It feels a bit funny, you can tell by me and my sister's face.

Finally, My Okinawa trip has finished. The next destination I will talk about is Okinawa which is a Modern, Active, Sexy city which is totally different to Okinawa.
