Coryn gazes with wonder at the beautiful and sometimes quite large fish in the three story aquarium, the second largest in the world. Churaumi means 'beautiful ocean' in a combination of chura - okinawan for beautiful and umi - japanese for ocean.
They have a 'petting zoo' of starfish and sea cucumbers, Coryn mostly likes to play with the water.
They have quite the collection of interesting specimen including these garden snakes, wall climbing-air breathing-jumping fish, and others.
The aquarium is so large it is the only one to contain not just one but three whale sharks, many manta rays, and a variety of other fish, as well as three scuba divers who were working on a section of the tank while we were there.
They have other smaller sites too, a manatee house, sea turtle pools, and free dolphin show areas. All around a fun place to visit on this little island.
