Churaumi Aquarium

Following our day of playing the tourist at Okinawa World, we played tourist at Churaumi Aquarium which is one piece of Ocean Expo Park. SUCH a beautiful place!! We took so many pictures it'll take two posts :-)
The entrance plaza with the ocean in the background

LOVED all these fun flower-full topiaries!!




The aquarium building entrance
Behind the aquarium is a manatee pool, a sea turtle pool, and a dolphin lagoon and theater.
You can walk down to the beach, too!
So many fun picture spots :-)




Another part of Ocean Expo Park right next to the aquarium is a Native Okinawan Village. Read carefully the list of no-nos posted in front of the houses!!
Rest assured, we refrained from "scribbling" on the houses!!

Next up..... pictures from inside this fantastic aquarium......
