Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium is the biggest second aquarium in the world. Luckily, I am living in Okinawa, I have privilege to come to this aquarium, yeay!!! Yeah here we go..
Actually we had taken this picture before we entered the main building of Churaumi, and it was fun, especially me, this was my first time to visit Churaumi even it is too close, I am sorry I was pretending to be a busy student hahahha...
Okay, before I talk too much, I would tell you guys about Churaumi itself. let's start from word "Churaumi", Churaumi comes from "chura" and "umi", "chura" comes from Okinawan language has meaning "beautiful or cheerfulness" and "umi" has meaning "ocean", and this words has been used since 2002 when Churaumi had been opened for public.
On the way heading main building of Churaumi, we could see Iejima Island. Iejima island has been well known as one of beautiful island surrounding Okinawa island (but I have not gone there, hopefully in the near future hehhe). The distance between Churaumi and Iejima island is not so far, but It is separated by deep sea, as we know that Okinawa Island is surrounded by oceans, so that's why they have deep sea and such a strong wave.
If you are interested with Churaumi, do not forget to visit okinawa while your vacation in Japan :)
Have a great day guys....
