About this spot
Ocean Expo Park in Motobu Town, northern Okinawa, is one of the largest national parks in Japan and an absolute must on any Okinawa trip. With a total area of over about 70 hectares, it is packed with so many attractions that even a full day of play is not enough. The main attraction is the "Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium," where giant whale sharks and manta rays swim leisurely. The tank, which recreates the powerful Kuroshio current, is moving no matter how many times you visit. The dolphin show at "Okichan Theater," which can be enjoyed free of charge, is sure to bring smiles to adults and children alike. Within the park are facilities that let you experience nature and culture at once, such as the "Tropical Dream Center" with orchids in full bloom and the "Okinawa Village" recreating old Okinawan houses. A stroll on the white sandy "Emerald Beach" is also ideal for a date or refreshing yourself. Whether you are with family, enjoying a leisurely solo walk, or taking great photos with friends, it is a leisure base in Okinawa enjoyed by every kind of traveler.
