# DMM Kariyushi Aquarium

You enter the aquarium from the second floor of the iias Okinawa Toyosaki mall, about twenty minutes by car from Naha Airport. Its upper floor is built as a subtropical forest, with owls, penguins, sloths and tortoises. The lower floor is the sea: a walk-through tunnel, a jellyfish room, a tank of Okinawan fish, and a coral display. Feeding sessions are offered for otters, sloths, penguins, tortoises and the micro pigs. Everything is under a roof, with elevators and ramps on both floors.
