The whale-shark tank is the day’s main hall. Emerald Beach is next door. Kouri is a short extension across the bridge.
Churaumi day
The official page usually opens at 8:30 and closes at 18:30, last entry 17:30. Some stretches in 2026 stay open later — follow that day’s page. Ocean Expo Park and the Bise fukugi are walkable. Do not add Shuri.
Drive or cycle the bridge — do not walk the whole span. Sea grapes and the beach stay on the island.
