Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium, Japan

Situated near the seashore of Motobu, Japan, this water zoo is one of the most sophisticated destinations for aquatic lovers.

Previously known as Okinawa Ocean Expo Aquarium within the famous Ocean Expo Park, this establishment used to hold the record for the largest aquarium ever. It is now home to large whale shark tanks, manta rays ecosystem, and deep sea habitats such as flame snappers, black snoek, and luminescent shrimp — all visible through big acrylic windows.

There is an active research division within the facility and all of the exhibitions are guided by information on the go. For a traveller, a quick visit to Okinawa will replenish with its beautiful coast, magnificent shoreline, and of course — a visit to this water zoo on top of that.

You can instantaneously pick this Park if you are travelling with family and children as the water zoo emphasises teaching marine conservation and presenting aquatic life to its visitors in an attractive manner.
