This aquarium situated in the northwest of Okinawa Island houses the largest single tank in the world. It's main attraction being 3 whale sharks. Within the same tank they also have an assortment of rays, such as the manta, school of giant trevally, tuna and various others unknown to me. They also have other tanks where they have sharks, bat fish, napoleon wrasse and other cool marine sea life.
On the outside is actually a hotel with a park which has many places to explore. For example, traditional style Japanese homes, a botanical garden, a flower garden, a spiral staircase which brings you to a gorgeous view, a maritime museum about the historical Okinawan wars, sea turtle and manatee tanks, and an entertaining, lovable dolphin show that all should enjoy.
Then when you're tired you can relax and go to the beautiful white sand Emerald Beach. Here you can take a dip, play beach volleyball or just soak up some rays and laze the rest of the day away.
As you can see, you need to be there early to really take in all its sites. If you go to Okinawa, Ocean Park Expo should definitely be on the list!
