#ThisYearIMustVisit: Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium, Japan

Following a series of posts focused on helping people decide their bucket-lists for 2016, as inspired by the trending hashtag started by Hotels.ng, this post is about the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium located in Japan.

Fancy a trip to Japan? In case you're fishing for a reason to, the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium is more than enough reason to pack up and book a flight there already.

The Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium has the second largest aquarium tank in the world. The main tank, Kuroshio Sea, is 115 ft long, 89 ft wide, and 33 ft deep. It houses three whale sharks, each of which is at least 41.5 ft long and weighs 47,000 lbs. Manta rays, 80 different species of coral, and other types of fish share the space with the whale shark. The entire scenery evokes an eerie feeling like you're right there at the bottom of the ocean, observing nature.

Here's a short video of people in the observatory at the acquarium.
