"Marine World Uminonakamichi" re-opened in April 2017. The large-scale aquarium, which is located beside the Uminonakamichi Seaside Park in Fukuoka, underwent a major refurbishment a few years ago. The theme that underpins the facility and all the major displays is the "Kyushu Sea!" The aquarium is home to all sorts of sea creatures. Viewing all these animals fills you with a childlike sense of wonder. A number of the attractions give visitors the chance to engage with sea life. If you are looking for a more interactive experience, be sure to check-out the dolphin show or try touching a starfish!

The open sea fish tank attempts to recreate the warm Kuroshio Current that flows past southern Kyushu. More sharks have been raised in this tank than almost any other facility in Japan! We got the chance to see the "sardine typhoon." It is incredible to witness a diver feeding such a large number of sardines! It is such an interesting, powerful sight!
