All Reviews for Churaumi Aquarium

The QR code is displayed immediately after purchasing the ticket, so it was convenient to buy it while in the car on the way there.

And indeed, there aren't many aquariums of this scale, and watching the gentle swimming of the whale sharks is very soothing.

It was a weekday afternoon in early April, but it was still quite crowded, making it difficult to enjoy the other tanks leisurely. I also wish something could be done about the large bags carried by foreign visitors. There were several moments where I felt it was dangerous due to the dark and narrow passages.

チケット購入後即時QRが表示されるので、向かう車の中で購入できて便利でした。

そしてやはりこの規模の水槽は他にはあまりなく、ジンベイザメのゆったりとした泳ぎを見ていると癒されます。

4月上旬平日の昼間でしたが普通にしっかり混んでいて、他の水槽はゆったりとは見れません。大荷物の外国人もどうにかしてほしい。暗くて通路が狭いところもあるので危ないと感じる場面が何度かありました

I wanted to visit Churaumi and American Village, so I chose this tour. It efficiently covers other tourist spots in Okinawa, and since it's a bus tour, traveling is quite easy!

Regarding American Village, the time for shopping and dining is a bit short, but there is an option to get off at American Village, which allows for some flexibility.

At the morning meeting point, there was a note to look for the bus, and it described the bus's features, but the bus that arrived was completely different (the description mentioned a white bus, but the one that came was blue). There were many other sightseeing buses parked in the area, and this mistake had a significant impact; there was a possibility that I might not have been able to board the bus at all. Other participants were also confused, saying, "Wait, this isn't the bus we were told about..."

Because of this, I deducted one star.

美ら海やアメリカンビレッジに行きたく、こちらのツアーを選びました。
他にも沖縄の観光地を効率的に回れ、なによりバスツアーなので移動が楽ちん！
アメリカンビレッジについては買い物や食事をするには時間が短めですが、アメリカンビレッジで下車という選択肢もあるので多少自由度もあるかなと思います。

朝の集合時はバスを目印にするよう記載がありバスの特徴も書いてありましたが、来たのは全然違うバスでした（書いてあったのは白いバス、実際に来たのは青いバス）。他にも観光バスが多く停車している場所で、このミスは影響が大きく、場合によってはバスに乗れなかった可能性もあります。他の参加者も「え、聞いてたバスと違う…」と戸惑っていました。
そのため星一つ減らしました。

I was able to visit the attractions without wasting time, and I am very satisfied. The time management was perfect as well. The guide explained everything very clearly, and it was a lot of fun.

無駄なく名所を回れて　とても満足してます　時間配分もバッチリでした
ガイドさんもとてもわかりやすく説明してくれて　とても楽しかったです

Overall, it was a packed schedule, so there wasn't much time, but the guide was wonderful, explaining everything in detail. She was a Korean sister, and I felt like cheering her on as she worked hard to speak Japanese.

全体的にぎゅっとしたプランなので、時間はありませんが、ガイドのお姉さんが丁寧に色々説明していて素敵でした。韓国オンニでしたが、一生懸命日本語を話してて応援したくなりました。

I was able to fully enjoy the essence of Okinawa in just one day! Everywhere was so appealing that I ran out of time, so next time I want to take plenty of time to explore the key spots. This time, the driver and the tour guide were both very nice people, which made the experience even more enjoyable! Thank you!

1日で沖縄らしさを満喫出来ました！どこも魅力的で滞在時間が足りなくなってしまったので、次は要所要所にたっぷり時間をかけて見て回りたいと思います。
今回は運転手さん並びに添乗員さんがとても良い人柄でより楽しめました！ありがとうございました！

I spent a day exploring the northern part of Okinawa, and although we couldn't spend much time at each location, it was enjoyable. However, it was unfortunate that we couldn't have lunch due to the limited time at the tourist spots. I had heard comments suggesting that it would have been better to buy rice balls and drinks to eat on the bus, and I wish I had done that.

沖縄北部を1日かけて、観光できるため、個々の場所が時間かけれないけど楽しかったです。
ですが、観光地で限られた時間のため、昼食は取れないのが、残念でした。おむすびと飲み物を買ってからバスで食べる方が良いとコメントがあったため、そのようにすれば良かったな。

I was actually worried that I might not have enough time or that I wouldn't be able to enjoy it because I was tired, but the bus guide was kind and made the departure times easy to understand and very helpful!

実際時間足りないかも、とか疲れてて楽しめないかなって思ってたけど
バスガイドさん優しくて出発時刻とかも分かりやすくて親切だった！

It was very good. I understood the meeting place, but the vehicle on the day was not the Celulian Blue-wrapped bus that was mentioned as a landmark. The guide was calling out the names of the participants, but their voices were mostly drowned out by the noise of passing cars, which caused a delay in the participants' responses and made the gathering take longer than expected. The tour went smoothly, but there were some people who were late each time for the meeting. The guide was very kind and always had a lovely smile. The driver also drove safely, and I truly appreciate their hard work. It was a great trip. If I have the opportunity again, I will definitely use your services. Thank you very much.

とても良かったです。集合場所は分かりましたが当日の車両が、目印と書いてあった、セルリアンブルーさんのラッピングバスではなかったのと、ガイドさんはずっと参加者の名前を呼んでくれていましたが、通行している車の音にかき消されて、ほとんど聞こえなかったため参加者の反応が遅れ、集合に時間が掛かったように思います。ツアーは順調でしたが、集合時間に毎回遅れる方がいました。ガイドさんはとても親切で、いつも笑顔で素敵でした。ドライバーさんも安全運転で本当にお疲れ様でした。良い旅行になりました。また機会がありましたら利用させて頂きます。本当にありがとうございました。

I wanted to go to the Churaumi Aquarium, but since renting a car would be a waste for just one person, I joined a bus tour. The whale sharks at the Churaumi Aquarium were amazing. At the café in front of the aquarium, you can enjoy a meal while watching the fish. I also opted for the steak full course, which was delicious.

美ら海水族館に行きたかったのですが、レンタカーは一人だともったいないのでバスツアーに参加しました。美ら海水族館のジンベイサメは素晴らしかったです。水槽の前のカフェでは食事しながら魚がみれます。またステーキフルコース付きにしたので美味しかったです。

I'm glad I was taken to the Churaumi Aquarium and Manzamo, which are difficult to reach without a car. The Pineapple Park was also larger than I expected, and I had a great time there.

車がないと行きづらい美ら海水族館や万座毛に連れて行ってもらえて良かったです。
パイナップルパークも思っていたより広くて楽しめました。

I visited the Churaumi Aquarium again because I went there 30 years ago. It was crowded with families. The Ocean Expo Park, where the Churaumi Aquarium is located, is spacious. Since the time allocated for the aquarium is about 140 minutes, it's a good idea to consider your time management while walking around. Manzamo was well-maintained along the route. Nago Pineapple Park was filled with many interesting sculptures, which was enjoyable. Since lunch is not included in the course, I think it's a good idea to bring something like rice balls. The dining places and food trucks at tourist spots were very crowded, and there wasn't enough time to eat. I bought rice balls at a convenience store and brought them with me. I participated in a plan that included a barbecue dinner. They cooked it right in front of me, and it was delicious.

30年前に美ら海水族館に行ったので、また行こうと思い美ら海水族館行きました。家族連れでいっぱいでした。美ら海水族館のある海洋博公園は広いです。美ら海水族館持ち時間140分位ですので時間配分を考慮して歩くと良いです。万座毛は順路が整備されてました。名護パイナップルパークはオブジェがいっぱいで楽しめました。昼食がコ−スに含まれて無いので、おにぎり等を持参すると良いと思います。観光地の食堂、キッチンカ−等は人がいっぱいで食べる時間有りません。私はおにぎりをコンビニで買い持って行きました。夕食焼肉ディナ-付プランで参加しました。目の前で焼いてくれて、美味しくいただきました。

Just the two of us, my son and I. Since I was anxious about driving a rental car myself, I looked for a bus tour and chose this course because I wanted to visit various places. There were many tourists from overseas participating as well, but no one spoke loudly on the bus, allowing us to relax in a quiet atmosphere. It became a wonderful memory. Thank you very much.

息子と2人。レンタカーで自分で運転するのも不安だったためバスツアーを探し、色々回りたかった私はこのコースを選びました。
海外からの観光客の方もたくさん参加していらっしゃいましたが、バスの中で大きな声で話すこともなく、静かな車内でゆったり出来ました。
いい思い出になりました。
ありがとうございました。

About 80% of the participants were foreigners. As a result, it was noisy, the scent of perfume was strong, and there were requests to sit in the front seats. The young guide seemed to be used to it, but it looked challenging for them. There was also a guide who was not Japanese, speaking in both English and Japanese, but they spoke so quickly that I couldn't really understand what they were saying. However, their effort was definitely conveyed.

However, if you are going with parents or elderly people, I think a tour with only Japanese participants on a Japanese-speaking bus would be better. The content of the tour was well-organized and efficient.

8割外国人でした。なので、うるさい、香水の匂いがきつい、前の席に座りたい、だの、若いガイドさんも慣れてはいたのでしょうが大変そうでした。また日本人ではないガイドさんが英語と日本語ではなしてくれるのですが、早口で何を言っているのかよく分からなかったです。でも一生懸命さだけは伝わりました。
しかし、親や高齢者と行くなら、日本人のみのバスで日本語のツアーのほうがいいかなと思いました。ツアーの内容は効率よく回れてよかったです。

During the journey, you shared various histories of Okinawa, which was very educational. If I have the opportunity to visit Okinawa again, I would like to go with Veltra.

道中、沖縄の様々な歴史を話してくださり、とても勉強になりました。
沖縄に行く機会があったら、またveltraさんにしたいです。

The guide advised that if you want to have a meal at the Churaumi Aquarium within a limited time, it's more efficient to buy food from the shop rather than entering a restaurant. We enjoyed our meal on a bench before the aquarium tour and the dolphin show, and even with two and a half hours of sightseeing, we had plenty of fun. The view of Kouri Island was beautiful. It was a relief for me, as someone who doesn't drive, since it's a bit difficult to get to.

ガイドさんが限られた時間内で美ら海水族館で食事をとるならレストランに入るより売店で食べ物を購入した方が効率的とアドバイスして下さいました。
美ら海水族館の館内見学、イルカショー見学の前にベンチで食事、その後イルカショー見学で2時間半の見学時間でも充分楽しめました。古宇利島の景色は素敵でした。行きにくい場所なので車を運転しない私に有り難かったです

I was glad to be able to efficiently visit so many places. The guide provided information in Japanese, Korean, and English. There wasn't much explanation beyond confirming the meeting place, meeting time, and schedule. Since the admission fee for the Churaumi Aquarium is included, I think it's a good deal. Personally, I felt that two and a half hours at the Churaumi Aquarium was enough, and the rest of the time felt a bit rushed. Especially at American Village, it’s so large that I thought I wouldn’t make it back in time if I stopped for a meal, so I gave up on that.

これだけの場所に効率良く回れて良かった。ガイドさんの案内は日本語、韓国語、英語でした。集合場所、集合時間、スケジュールの確認くらいで特に説明はありません。美ら海水族館の入場料込みなのでお得な内容かと思います。個人的には美ら海水族館は２時間半で十分、あとはちょっと駆け足だった感があります。特にアメリカンビレッジは広いので食事していたら集合時間に間に合わないと思いあきらめました。

I was able to efficiently tour the attractions in northern Okinawa in one day. At American Village, I was able to see the beach at sunset!

沖縄北部の名所を1日で効率よく観光できました。アメリカンビレッジでは夕暮れのビーチを観ることができました！

I participated in this trip with my parents. Since I'm not good at driving in unfamiliar places, I joined the tour, and it turned out to be enjoyable and stress-free. My parents, who walk slowly while keeping an eye on the time, seemed to struggle a bit, but I think we were able to visit various places within the allotted time and had a meaningful experience. The guide provided thorough explanations throughout, which allowed us to gain a deeper understanding of Okinawa.

両親との旅行で参加しました。見知らぬ土地での車の運転が苦手なので参加しましたがやはり楽でストレスなく楽しめました。時間を気にしながらなので歩行がゆっくりの親はしんどそうでしたが決められた時間内でいろんなところを見て回り、有意義な時間を過ごせたと思います。ガイドさんが終始丁寧な説明があったので沖縄についてよく深く知ることが出来ました。

I was searching for a tour to the Churaumi Aquarium and found this one. We had 150 minutes at the aquarium, and since we opted for a light meal, we were able to enjoy it without rushing.

I thought the time allocation for the other stops was appropriate, but I felt that the 50 minutes at the American Village at the end was too short.

In some places, the parking lot is far away, and we can't be late for the meeting time, so the time written is even shorter. However, since we couldn't drive around ourselves, it was a very helpful tour.

場所によっては駐車場が遠く、集合時間に遅れてもいけないしで、書いてある時間より更に短くなります。ただ自分達では運転してまわれなかったので、ありがたいツアーでした。

I joined a tour for my friend who was visiting Okinawa for the first time. We were able to visit all the places we wanted in the northern part, and I was very satisfied! I definitely recommend this tour for anyone visiting Okinawa for the first time. However, while the guide was great, the driver had a very unpleasant attitude and responded coldly to the guide, which made me feel sorry for them. It's a shame because the tour was enjoyable. I didn't think the driver was professional.

初めて沖縄に行く友人のために
ツアーに参加しました。
北部で行きたい所は全部行けて
とても大満足でした！
初めて沖縄に行く人には絶対に
おすすめなツアーです。
しかしガイドさんは良かったのですが
運転手さんがとても感じが悪く
ガイドさんに対する受け答えが冷たくて
ガイドさんがとても気の毒でした。
ツアーは楽しかっただけにとても残念です。
プロじゃないと思いました。

I had a wonderful trip thanks to the fun stories from the bus guide and being taken to many places that are a must-see in Okinawa! Thank you very much.

バスガイドさんの楽しいお話と沖縄といえばここ！という場所にたくさん連れて行っていただき大満足な旅行でした！
ありがとうございました。

Since the person I went with was visiting Okinawa for the first time, we booked this course. We were able to visit various tourist spots in Okinawa, and at the Churaumi Aquarium, we coincidentally got to see the feeding of the whale shark, which was just starting, and we were able to see it swimming vertically. There was no traffic, and we arrived at the steak restaurant an hour early. Although the restaurant was full, they arranged for us to be taken by taxi to their main store. I had no expectations at all, but not only was the performance of cooking in front of us impressive, but the meat was tender and everything was delicious. We had other plans while in Okinawa, but it was a day filled with sightseeing. I would love to participate again.

一緒に行った方が沖縄が初めての方だったので、こちらのコースを予約しました。沖縄の観光地を回って時間も適度にとって頂き、なかでも美ら海水族館で偶然ですが、じんべいざめの餌やりが丁度に始まり縦になった姿を見れました。渋滞もなく夕飯のステーキ屋さんに一時間早く着いてしまいお店は満員でしたが、そちらのお店の本店にタクシーで送って頂きました。全く期待してなかったので、目の前で焼いて下さるパフォーマンスもさることながら、お肉が柔らかくすべて美味しく頂きました。私達は他に用事があって沖縄に来たのですが、観光を満喫した１日でした。また参加したいです。

It was great to be able to visit the tourist spots in Okinawa at just the right time! The weather deteriorated partway through, but it turned out to be a fun day. ^_^

ちょうどいい時間で沖縄の観光地を巡れたのが良かったです！
天候は途中から崩れてしまいましたが、楽しい1日になりました^_^

All the tourist spots were great. I was able to efficiently visit places that would normally take more than a day to see if I were to go by regular bus.

どの観光スポットも良かったです。
個人で通常のバスで行こうとすると、１日では観光できない場所に、効率よく行けました。

I used the tickets to visit the Churaumi Aquarium, Southeast Botanical Gardens, and Okinawa World. Not only were they a great deal, but I also didn't have to wait in line at the ticket counter, which made it convenient and saved me time.

チケットを利用し、美ら海水族館、東南植物楽園、おきなわワールドに行きました。お得なだけでなく、チケット窓口に並ばなくても良いので、楽で時間節約にもなりました。

I chose this course mainly for the Churaumi Aquarium. Considering the price, I was generally satisfied with the bus guide's explanations and the punctuality of the meeting times.

However, I was disappointed with the Pineapple Park. The tour guests were guided here by the staff, but unfortunately, most of the people in the tour got lost. It took a long time to get to the exit, and I couldn't ride the cart that I was looking forward to... If they had guided us from the beginning, indicating which way to go for the cart and which way for the park tour, I could have taken the cart. I think it's better not to follow the older gentleman.

美ら海水族館メインでこのコースを選べました。価格からしたら、バスガイドさんの解説があったり、集合時刻の正確さだったり、概ね満足です。
　残念なのは、パイナップルパークです。ツアーのお客様はこちらと、係の人に案内されましたが、いつの間、ツアーの大半の人達は迷子になってしまいました。出口に行くのに時間がかかり、楽しみにしていた、カートには乗れず、、、最初から、カートの人はこちら、園内見学はこちらと案内してくださればカートに乗れたのに、、と思います。おじさんについて行かない方がいいです。

I was able to relax at the Churaumi Aquarium. If I had to wish for something, I would have liked to have a bit more time at American Village to see the illuminations, but overall, I was very satisfied. I participated alone, but I was able to talk with others who were also there alone, as well as families, making it a fun tour and a great memory.

美ら海水族館でゆっくりできました。欲を言えば、アメリカンビレッジに、もう少し滞在時間があってイルミネーションが見られたら良かったとは思いますが、十分満足できるものでした。私は、1人参加でしたが、同じく1人参加の方や、親子参加の方とお話しでき、楽しいツアーで、良い思い出になりました。

At the Churaumi Aquarium, the parking lot was quite a distance away, but seeing my companion struggling to walk, I appreciated the consideration to allow us to drive to the entrance of the aquarium. Thank you very much.

美ら海水族館で駐車場からかなり距離がありましたが、歩きにくそうにしていた同行者を見て水族館の入口まで車で移動できるよう配慮していただきました。ありがとうございました。

I participated alone.
If it's your first time in Okinawa, I think it's enough to cover the key spots, even if it's a bit rushed.
You can also buy meals and souvenirs.
One thing that bothered me a bit was that the foreign person in front of me reclined their seat quite a bit, which made it very cramped.
On the way back, perhaps due to traffic, the driving was quite rough, and I felt a bit nauseous. If you're going to hit the weekday rush hour, I think it would be better to depart a little earlier.
However, the staff on the bus were kind, polite, and worked hard, so overall, I’m glad I participated.

一人で参加しました。
沖縄初めてでしたら、駆け足ですが要所を回るには十分だと思います。
食事もお土産も買えます。
少し気になったのは、前の席の外国の方がシートをかなり下げてきたので、非常にキツくなった。
帰りは渋滞したためか、結構運転が荒く、若干酔いました。平日の帰宅ラッシュにぶつかるのであれば、少し早い時間に出発しても良いかと思いました。
なお、バス内の従業員の方は親切丁寧で、一生懸命でしたので、総合的には参加して良かったです。
