  • It's one of the best aquariums I've visited. I spent here more than 1,5 hour and absolutely didn' t get bored. There are many species of sharks, turtles and various exotic fishes in open aquariums...

  • Well I have to say it's not the most exciting museum I've been to, but on this little island your choices for activities are limited, so you might as well pay a short visit. You can learn some...

  • Here you can learn a little bit about the history and facts of kuroshima. I've learnt that there isn't a policeman on the island! You have to pay 500 yen for entrance fee but I think it's worth going to contribute sea turtle research as I love sea turtles.
  • Thanks to visiting this research center, I truly enjoyed my stay in Kuroshima. I participated in turtle release activity - we had a short lecture about turtles inhabiting in Okinawa, they showed us some alive turtles to see the difference between sea and land types. In the end, we released one turtle in the ocean.
  • A execellent education lessoon of sea turtle
  • Must go. It's marvellous.
  • Fantastic place well worth The trip on the boat and the bike ride+all the signs are in Japanese and English a great experience for my family.
