Activity
Get up close and personal with whale sharks, the world's largest species of fish!
The "Kuroshio Sea" is one of the world's largest aquarium tanks, at 35 meters wide, 10 meters across, and 27 meters deep. The sight of whale sharks gliding through the water is truly a sight to behold. The aquarium is home to 16,000 animals of about 70 species, including manta rays and tuna.
The beautiful sea of Motobu is reproduced in the "Coral Sea."
This aquarium has no roof, so the radiant sunlight reaches the tank without hindrance.
