Whether it’s to see a giant oceanic manta ray casually gliding by in the massive Kuroshio Sea Tank, or to get a close-up look at whale sharks, yellowfin tuna, and yellow and blueback fusilier, Churaumi Aquarium is going to delight you like nothing else. The aquarium is also home to the world’s first large-scale exhibit of coral reproduction, made up of more than 800 different coral colonies.
Walk around and explore the other areas, and you’ll come across some rare exhibits including blacksail snake mackerels and sea spiders. There’s even a shallow Touch Pool, where you can see and hold starfish, cushion stars and sea cucumbers!
