When you come to Okinawa, I believe that many people will not miss the Churaumi Aquarium. Influencers of social networks, Okinawan supremacy of blue screens.
In fact, The Portne Aquarium opened in 1976, quite a year ago. Once the world's largest aquarium, it was renovated in 2002 and is now almost 20 years old.
The last time Paw came to Okinawa was in 2020, when he was only shocked by the enormity of the Kuroshio Sea, and the rest were not impressed. After two years of coming back, I feel that the facilities in The Beautiful Sea are really obviously old.
The original plan that day was to shoot Koyuri with photographer Andy Children's Shoes, poured by heavy rain in Okinawa... It's impossible to shoot anything. Think about it, hide indoors, watch the seafood market... No, the aquarium is fine.
Once in the Kuroshio Sea, two whale sharks swam together, but this time I didn't see it. Checked the information on the Internet, it turned out that the mother whale shark left last year because of the irreversibility of congenital diseases. Only the oldest male whale shark in captivity remains, swimming here alone.
If there is an afterlife, hopefully they are free in the vast ocean. Instead of staying in captivity for various reasons, stay in captivity.
There is a very recommended café location in The Beautiful Sea, staying next to the Kuroshio Sea. The viewing position is only separated by a glass of the large aquarium of the Kuroshio Sea. Watching the various fish swimming around, drinking coffee and eating here, there is still an illusion of eating a rotary sushi restaurant. Boss...... Let's make a net... (Mistaken)
