Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium, Japan

The Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium in Okinawa, Japan, is the world’s second largest aquarium behind the Georgia Aquarium in Atlanta, USA. It’s one of the very few aquariums in the world that keep whale sharks in cavity.

Video of Kuroshio Sea, the largest tank in the aquarium; shot by Canadian filmmaker Jon Rawlinson. Mesmerising stuff; I can watch this for hours…

    i love it!!! and i have to second your “i can watch this for hours” statement..it would be better if it were the real thing..like, just go the aquarium to pass time..just watching the creatures in there and maybe listen to music at the same time..i actually want to go to places like this one..

  4. Holy Wow…. that is absolutely amazing! This place is ON my list now! Thank you for bringing this here. Again, absolutely fantastic! We have an aquarium in Malaysia but in no way it is even close to this.
