Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium Ticket

Booking through Klook is convenient: I recommend purchasing tickets in advance from Klook. You won't have to wait in line to buy tickets, and the price is slightly cheaper than walking in. The aquarium itself isn't very large, but you can walk around until you reach the dolphin show (you can watch the show without scanning your ticket) and the turtle tanks. It's a decent distance and well worth it. The staff provides excellent service, with both Japanese and international employees available to answer our questions.

Full of visitors on that day i visited, and too bad, raining day as well, no show performance , but still enjoyable, feel stunning while seeing Huge Shark infront of me. and highly recommende to purchase ticket via Klook, since can skip the queue to purchase ticket on the spot.

We arrived at around 10.45am on a Monday and managed to park at the multi storey car park without much difficulty. Even though it was raining throughout the day, the attraction was still very crowded. We booked our tickets via Klook, which allowed us to skip the ticketing queue completely and simply scan the QR code at the entrance. Inside, there were many visitors everywhere, which sometimes made it difficult to take time to read the information panels about the marine life. However, we were still able to enjoy the beautifully designed aquariums, especially the massive main tank which was a highlight of the visit. We also managed to catch the dolphin show at 1.00pm. It is recommended to head to the Okichan Theatre early to secure a good seat as it gets filled quickly. There are several food options available on site, ranging from buffets to food trucks and snack bars. Toilets are plentiful and the facility is also very accessible for wheelchair users and families with young children.

2nd time to come here. The aquarium entrance ticket is worth to see all variety of sea animals. The whale shark is so beautiful and other special species are very interesting. You can only see or hear some of them from the TV shows or books but they come to your eyes!

This aquarium indeed does not disappoint. We spent at least 3 hours indoors going through 3 levels, and then went outdoor to feed sea turtles, watched the dolphin show and fed the dolphins. The dolphin feeding experience was very popular though, and it’s limited to 25 ‘groups’ of participants for each time slot, so will need to queue up really quickly. Both feeding programs are separately payable. ¥500 per bucket of food.

The Aquarium is a must see with different marine species big & small. The animals looks healthy & well taken care of. The whole park is massive to walk around with a nice garden overlooking the sea. There’s picnic grounds & playground for kids & a beach area. A chill place to get some fresh air or swim from April to October only. The Dolphin show is entertaining!

The ticket arrived in my email inbox in less than a minute and everything worked smoothly. The aquarium and the Ocean Expo Park were also worth seeing and beautiful. Take your time for this place, because the other attractions and the beach are really great.

The Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium is a true marvel, both visually stunning and educational. Nestled in a beautiful natural setting within Ocean Expo Park, it offers a fascinating dive into the marine ecosystems of the region. The main attraction is undoubtedly the gigantic "Kuroshio Sea" tank, one of the largest in the world. Watching whale sharks, manta rays, and schools of tropical fish swim behind an immense pane of glass is simply magical. The rest of the aquarium is equally interesting, with tanks dedicated to coral reefs, deep-sea creatures, sea turtles, and dolphins. The route is well-structured, and the information is clear and accessible in both English and Japanese, making it easier to understand Okinawa's marine biodiversity and the importance of its protection. Both children and adults will enjoy it, finding wonder and raising awareness.

Beautiful aquarium with several unique sea creatures. There is a cafe inside with a beautiful view. It costs 500 yen to sit next to the aquarium window, but it worth for sure. And the beach is amazing too.

what a wonderful aquarium, a little far but what a scenic drive, and the dolphin show was lovely. the aquarium itself was amazing and had lots of great information. great place for both kids and adults.
