The park's theme is "Sunshine, Flowers, and the Sea." First, enter the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium, which opened on November 1, 2002, located within the 700,000-square-meter park. Here, you can observe the "Kuroshio Sea" through the world's thickest 60cm acrylic panel, watching whale sharks and manta rays glide gracefully through the water. The park also pioneered multiple breeding programs for conservation purposes and large-scale coral cultivation displays, both global firsts.
