Trip in Okinawa(沖縄）②

When i was staying in Okinawa, i went to Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium(美ら海水族館）.

This aquarium is a part of the Ocean Expo Commemorative National Government Park and one of many popular attractions of them.

This photo is the main tank called the Kuroshio Sea(黒潮の海）.
It holds 7500 cublic metres of water and features an acrylic glass panel measuring 8.2 by 22.5 metres with a thickness of 60 centimetres.
When this acuarium was opened, it was the largest panel in the world.
Incidentally, Dubai Aquarium has the largest panel now.
Anyway, you can watch whale sharks and manta rays and many other fish species there.

Also, close to the Aquarium there is a dolphin show .
You can enjoy their performance and learn about their power and abilities of dolphins.

I really recommend you to go to this aquarium when you have a chance to go to Okinawa.
