Since opening to the public in 1976, Ocean Expo Park has been a destination for many Okinawans wanting a quick getaway to enjoy many ocean-related exhibits and activities. The large public park in Motobu Peninsula is well known for the Churaumi Aquarium, a popular stop for tourists and locals.

The aquarium is fun and has plenty to see, but there are also other fun activities that you might enjoy while visiting this huge park. However, come prepared because there is a lot to do here, and you might not be able to see all in one day.
