Churaumi Aquarium Blue that takes the world's breath away.

To Okinawa's Largest Aquarium, at your own pace.

Located within Ocean Expo Park, the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium is known for the world's largest-class acrylic panel tank, the "Kuroshio Sea." The sight of whale sharks and manta rays gliding gracefully is breathtaking for visitors of all ages. It is Okinawa's premier tourist attraction. Each exhibit floor—from the coral sea alive with tropical fish to the mysterious deep-sea displays—never fails to move its visitors.

From central Naha, it takes about 1 hour 50 minutes to 2 hours via expressway (Naha IC to Kyoda IC). In SUI TAXI's Alphard, you can enjoy conversation and scenery at leisure, arriving without fatigue. Leave the drowsy drive home to our professional driver. The beautiful Okinawan nature passing by outside the window makes the journey itself part of the trip.

During your visit (estimated 2–3 hours), we wait in the parking lot within the charter fee. Need a little more time? We'll flex our schedule accordingly. Don't miss the adjacent Dolphin Lagoon and Tropical Dream Center. Whether you're a family with children or a couple on a romantic getaway, Churaumi Aquarium will create unforgettable memories.

Highlights around Churaumi

Beyond the aquarium itself, Ocean Expo Park offers a wealth of free attractions. Emerald Beach is one of Okinawa's clearest swimming beaches (summer season). The Okinawa Traditional Performing Arts Village recreates a traditional Okinawan village where you can learn about folk culture. The Tropical Dream Center welcomes you with Okinawa's tropical plants. Simply exploring the park grounds lets you immerse yourself in Okinawa's nature and culture.

Nearby attractions include Nakijin Castle Ruins (UNESCO World Heritage Site), Kouri Island, and Nago Pineapple Park. SUI TAXI offers a "Northern Full Course (6–8 hours)" that combines these spots in an efficient itinerary. Your local driver will also share hidden viewpoints and dining spots known only to locals.

Visiting Churaumi Aquarium by taxi

A round-trip charter from central Naha to Churaumi Aquarium (6-hour course) starts from ¥37,200 (tax included, expressway tolls separate). The "Northern Full Course (8 hours)" adding Kouri Island and Nakijin Castle starts from ¥49,600. Your local driver will suggest the most efficient route for visiting multiple spots.

We also advise on departure times based on the aquarium's opening hours (8:30–18:30, subject to seasonal change) and crowd levels. Long queues can form during summer holidays and Golden Week — an early morning visit is recommended. On the way back, watch the sun sinking into the sea as you head to Naha — it is guaranteed to be a wonderful day.
