DMM Kariyushi Aquarium has not only fish but also birds and sloths!
DMM Kariyushi Aquarium is an indoor aquarium located in front of Chura SUN Beach and attached to a large commercial facility, EAS Okinawa Toyosaki.
It is also close to Naha Airport, only 20 minutes by car.
The concept of aquarium is “a new form of entertainment aquarium that makes full use of the latest visual expression and spatial presentation,” so the aquarium is a fusion of visual images and an aquarium that offers a different kind of enjoyment from existing aquariums.
Since it is not specialized for families, it can be enjoyed as a date course for adults.
Point 1: Enjoy the visual and spatial presentation
The DMM Kariyushi Aquarium is more than just a collection of aquariums.
Upon entering, visitors are first taken to a room where they watch a video, which is presented as if the video and the aquarium are connected.
There are many trees between the tanks where the fish swim, making you feel like you are exploring the jungle.
DMM Kariyushi Aquarium does not have an explanation panel for the fish. You download an app on your smartphone and watch the explanations of the fish on your smartphone.
Point 2: You can watch the fish from the top of the tank.
DMM Kariyushi Aquarium also has an exhibit with fish in an aquarium tank. There is no lid on the top of the tank, giving it a sense of openness.
There is also a special glass ceiling above the large 6-meter-high aquarium, on which visitors can climb to see the fishes. Even if you know it is safe to do so, you can enjoy the illusion that you are about to fall. Please take off your shoes and enjoy.
The area with many jellyfish tanks is made even more magical by the mirrors and lighting.
Point 3: Sloths and other animals are also present.
DMM Kariyushi Aquarium is an aquarium that does not specialize in families but can satisfy adults alone, allowing adults to participate in hands-on programs.
Even adults can put their hands in the touch pool.
Doctor fish eat the dead skin on the hands.
An animal area has also been added. Pelicans, tortoises, and sloths are among the animals.
You can also experience feeding a tortoise or a sloth.
One of the attractions of the DMM Kariyushi Aquarium is that it is not just an aquarium for viewing.
