After visiting the DMM Kariyushi Aquarium in Okinawa, it was super amazing, especially when you can interact with the animals up close and feed them with your own hands. The plus point is that it is not only ordinary aquarium, but also many land animals, see and can be touched at once, really healing ~ All the animals are very cute, but there are some special recommendations and not recommended places: 🌟 Must try recommendation 🐾 Tree sloth (first choice!) is definitely the most healing! They move slowly, and the whole person (tree?😂) exudes a "Buddhist" aura. When feeding, you can see him slowly reaching for food at a very close distance, his movements are super gentle, it seems completely non-aggressive, looking at it has been very relaxing, you will really not know how to watch for a long time. 🦦 Otter (Must See!) Otters are so cute! It is also very active and will swim around non-stop to get your attention. When feeding, they will catch the food with their hands, then eat in small bites, and look at you, as if the interaction is very strong, really will give them "electricity" 🥹🐧 Penguin (must go!) Penguin walking is funny enough, plus close feeding is more healing. They will line up one by one to wait for food, and some will even fight for food. It's so dramatic! Seeing their stunned looks and little movements up close, you can't help but take a lot of photos. ⚠️ Not recommended 🐖 Mini pet pig Although theoretically quite cute, but the actual experience is average. The biggest problem is that the environment is not well managed, the smell is heavier inside, and the overall feeling is a bit confusing, so in comparison it is not worth feeding specifically. ✅ Summary If you love animals and want an interactive experience, DMM Kariyushi Aquarium is really worth it! 👉 Highlights must try: tree sloth + otter + penguin 👉 Limited time can skip: pet pig area Overall a very healing, good for photography and relaxing place, especially close contact with animals this point, really few other aquariums!
We almost missed our planned itinerary... thankfully we made it! Yuquan Cave is truly magnificent! The power of nature is truly amazing! Staff at the entrance will help you take photos, and they'll give you a small photo card for free when you leave the park. You can choose to buy a larger one (the staff won't pressure you at all 💯). There are very few people around 3:30 PM on weekdays (you can't enter Yuquan Cave after 4:00 PM!), so you can take photos and walk at your own pace ☺️
This time, I used the package ticket to visit three attractions: 1. Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium: The large viewing windows offer stunning views of numerous marine creatures swimming around. There are whale shark feeding shows, manatee feedings, and dolphin performances. The park is vast and a must-see! 2. Okinawa Kingdom Gyokusendo Cave: The walkways are quite long, with clever lighting and wooden signage. The park also features many local craft experience areas (pottery, glass, weaving, etc.) and shops to visit. 3. DMM Aquarium: You can observe animals up close, and there's a touch-the-ecological pool. I highly recommend paying extra to feed the animals and take photos (maximum 5 people per group), making it suitable for families.
One-click installation is very convenient, the network speed is also good, and it's very economical.
