The Churaumi Aquarium located in the Okinawa Ocean Expo Park is probably the best tourist attraction on the Okinawa Main Island. It was very packed with tourists and school classes.
The big tank with the whale sharks is the highlight of the museum, but the remaining part of the aquarium is also worth seeing. Quite spectacular is the cafeteria next to the tank with tables just next to the glass.
It takes around 2 hour to get to the aquarium by bus from Naha with a change of bus in Nago. Note that the last express bus (111) leaves relative early from Nago in the afternoon. Consider renting a car.
