Aquarium in Okinawa

Aquarium in Okinawa


I visited Okinawa with my wife for vacation. This was not the first time for us, but was so much pleasant! Okinawa means the Okinawa islands located between main island Japan and Taiwan. Therefore Okinawa is very warm place surrounded by the beautiful ocean. Many divers mention that Okinawa is one of the most beautiful diving spots in the world. One of the most interesting places in Okinawa is the famous aquarium. This aquarium was built in the site of international exposition held many years ago. My wife I visited several places but the aquarium was most interesting, a lot of fish in the huge seawater tank was amazing! What is interesting is the whale shark. Seeing The huge (about 10-meter long) whale shark swimming slowly was as if we were under the sea. Of course I have visited other aquarium many times, but this site is one of the most interested ones ever before. Well enjoy the sea creatures under the sea. You must be in the ocean with them too!









Most of all, whale shark is amazing! My wife and I became fan of them!! They are so huge but not dangerous like other killer shark. Their big mouth is just for gathering and screening planktons. Gazing them, they look cute, because their eyes are small and opening mouth seems something funny. Of course I understand that the whale shark's swimming slowly all the time is their important business, business for living. I know that the shark can not stop because they need the flow of fresh seawater to live. Their mouth can not make any flow of fresh water. Well, my wife and I agreed to establish a fan club of whale shark!! Why don't you join us?
