A fantastic day trip experience! Very convenient for those without a car; the bus was punctual and comfortable. The Churaumi Aquarium allowed ample time for a thorough visit. The scenery of Cape Manzamo and Kouri Island was stunning. The tour guide communicated fluently in Mandarin and was very attentive throughout the trip. Although it was a business trip with a side trip, it was a very relaxing day and excellent value for money!

The itinerary went very smoothly, allowing us to visit many tourist attractions within our limited transportation and time constraints. Unfortunately, the weather wasn't great that day, and with limited time, we didn't have much time to actually visit everything, which left us feeling a little unsatisfied.

Upon arrival, we discovered a sign celebrating the park's 33rd anniversary. It turns out it's been open for so long; no wonder it felt historical. Since the tickets were quite cheap, we didn't expect much. We took the miniature train around the park, and the bird show was excellent and professional, with enthusiastic staff. However, I felt this park was likely to decline soon, so it was worth visiting before it faded away! The abundance of birds was a delightful surprise!

It’s so much fun for the kids to ride on the Autonomous cart. It’s very relaxing too. We enjoyed the view from the Ocean Tower. The shell museum is also interesting.

1. Book your tickets with KKDAY. Show your QR code while queuing for the shuttle, and staff will exchange your ticket for a physical one. 2. The parking lot is a bit far from the entrance; you'll need to wait for a shuttle bus. 3. To enter, you need to take a pineapple-themed shuttle bus. These adorable shuttle buses are self-driving, and children can sit in the driver's seat! The ride will first take you around the dinosaur-themed area, and then you'll exit on foot! 4. After getting off the bus, there's a butterfly garden to visit. The park is actually quite sheltered, so you can explore even on rainy days! There are also many pineapple/dinosaur sculptures and numerous unique shops. 5. More suitable for seniors and children than I expected! Have a wonderful half-day!

Daruma Temple entrance gold purse – a must-have for Instagrammers, perfect for instant photos! No need to climb to the top. Only inconvenient for wheelchair users. Highly recommended. Combine it with DMM Aquarium for a 2-in-1 experience, or opt for a 3-in-1 package for an even cheaper price.

This time, I went to the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium and saved time buying tickets on-site. I saw the whale shark and dolphin show, which was super satisfying.
