Okinawa is a tiny island, I must admit. So it may not be easy to imagine that one of the largest aquarium is established here on the 100 mile long island. We don't have a vast expanse of land, yet we are surrounded by the huge body of water, located between the edge of the Pacific Ocean and the East China Sea. If not mistaken, "Churaumi Aquarium" is one of the three largest aquariums in the world, and if you are planning to visit Asia, you might want to add this unique destination to your itinerary.
This huge aquarium proudly displays three shark whales -- the largest kind of shark existing on earth -- and the way those huge marine creatures swim in a grandiose manner in the aquarium is sure to dazzle every visitor.
It is my hope that more cruise ships will make port calls at Motobo harbor so that more foreign visitors have chanses to see the great aquarium.
