Churaumi Aquarium Direct Entry Tickets [E-Ticket]

About this experience

Churaumi Aquarium Tickets The Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium stands as one of the world's largest and most impressive aquariums, located within Ocean Expo Park on the Motobu Peninsula. Your direct entry e-ticket gets you straight inside without queuing, where you'll discover the famous Kuroshio Sea tank that holds 7,500 cubic metres of seawater and houses whale sharks, manta rays, and hundreds of other marine species behind a massive glass panel spanning two floors. Beyond the main tank, you'll explore naturally lit coral reef exhibits using real seawater to sustain over 70 species, observe endangered sea turtles in dedicated pools, and venture into deep-sea displays featuring bioluminescent jellyfish and rare deep-water creatures. The aquarium also showcases the world's first large-scale live coral cultivation, where sunlight and fresh seawater maintain extensive coral colonies that demonstrate Okinawa's natural marine beauty.

Take your time exploring at your own pace - there's no time limit on your visit. You can take breaks at the café or open-air terrace before returning to watch the whale sharks in the main tank. Remember that re-entry isn't allowed once you leave the premises, and items like pets, selfie sticks, and outside food aren't permitted inside.
