[A dreamlike blue adventure] - Walk into the DMM Okinawa Aquarium and feel the gentle breath of the ocean

【Okinawa・DMM Aquarium】Relaxing in the blue ocean is my favorite way to travel During this trip to Okinawa, I specially arranged an itinerary that I had been thinking about for a long time: going to DMM Kariyushi Aquarium. No one urged me, no schedule, I just wanted to walk around and look slowly by myself. And this place is really more healing than I imagined. The aquarium is located in the shopping mall "iias Okinawa Toyosaki" in the south, about 20 minutes by car from Naha Airport, which is a very relaxing attraction. The design of the entrance alone is very textured, not the feeling of a traditional aquarium. The overall style is clean, fashionable, and a little mysterious. As soon as you walk in, it's like stepping into a quiet blue universe. The lights are dim, the floor will light up, and the fish will shuttle around. The projection on the wall is so dreamy. I was a little tired at that time, and as soon as I entered, I felt-ah, it seemed that time had slowed down. That kind of calmness is very direct, which will make you can't help but take a deep breath, then walk slowly and look slowly. There is a jellyfish light show in one area, which is really beautiful. The jellyfish float in groups, and with the light and shadow flickering in the background, it feels like watching them dance in space. I stood there for a long time, and I didn't want to leave because it was so healing. There is also a digital interactive coral reef. The children had a lot of fun, but I think it's also fun for adults to watch. The whole wall is full of dynamic fish and corals, and you can click and interact with the fish, as if you are playing an underwater animated movie. To be honest, DMM Aquarium is not the kind that is super large and requires walking to the point of breaking your feet. Its focus is more like "feeling", with a little art, a little technology, and many gentle moments. It is a place that is very suitable for arranging in the middle of the itinerary to let yourself relax and take a breath. I really recommend this itinerary to those who like to feel quietly, like to watch animals but don't want to be crowded. It is not as spectacular as the Miraka Sea, but it has a charm of "quietly telling stories", which makes people feel refreshed when they walk out. 📍 Address: Toyosaki 3-35, Tomigusuku City, Okinawa Prefecture (inside iias shopping mall) • 🚗 Transportation: About 20 minutes by car from Naha Airport, or by bus • 🕙 Business hours: 10:00-20:00 (last admission 19:00) • 🎫 Ticket price reference: • Adults ¥2,400 • Junior high school students ¥2,000 • Elementary school students ¥1,500 • Free for children under three years old • 📷 Is it suitable for taking photos? : Absolutely suitable!
