Located just a 20-minute drive from Naha Airport, DMM Kariyushi Aquarium opened in 2020 in the ever-popular "Toyosaki Town" area, home to beaches, resorts, and shopping facilities. The aquarium is designed around the concept of providing "zero-distance wonder and immersive experiences”, so you can get even closer to beauty of nature and marine life via innovative displays.

Make your way through the 2nd floor entrance gate to find a space inspired by subtropical forests, featuring giant banyan trees and various freshwater fish. The immersive environment allows you to explore and observe the diverse creatures as if you're venturing through a real forest. Kick back at the Umikaji Dome, a spot designed to mimic Okinawa's shoreline and changing skies from bright blue to sunset. Hands-on experiences like the touch pool, where you can feel sharks and starfish, or feeding activities with otters and sloths, add an extra splash of fun.

On the first floor, you'll find a large tank showcasing marine life from the waters surrounding Okinawa, as well as individual tanks displaying colorful local fish and jellyfish in a dreamy setting. The large tank's ceiling is made of glass, meaning you can even peer in from the second floor as if walking on water. There’s a café inside the aquarium where you can catch a meal while gazing up at the sprawling tank and happily lose track of time.
