No.2 of Best Things to Do in Fukuoka
Marine World Umi-no-nakamichi, located in Fukuoka City, Fukuoka Prefecture, opened in 1989 with the concept of being "an aquarium that adults can enjoy as well."This aquarium exhibits approximately 350 species and 30,000 marine creatures.It features a beautiful exterior reminiscent of a white shell.It has four floors above ground, a site area of 48,000㎡, and a total floor space of 21,400㎡. It is one of the top five aquariums in Japan.One of the most popular attractions at Marine World Umi-no-Nakamichi is the performance show featuring dolphins and sea lions.A wide variety of dolphins, including Pacific white-sided dolphins, bottlenose dolphins, and short-finned pilot whales, appear here and perform in perfect harmony with their trainers.The dolphins are particularly impressive when they jump across the pool or when the trainers perform tricks while riding on the dolphins' backs.In addition, at the end of the show, there is a unique element where the dolphins throw a ball towards the audience with their tails, making the audience feel even closer to the dolphins.
My visit to Marine World in Fukuoka offered a fascinating spectacle of sea lions and dolphins, showcasing their incredible intelligence and agility. The excitement in the air was palpable as the show commenced.
The sea lions, with their playful antics and dynamic flips, immediately captured the audience's heart. Their interactive session with the trainers highlighted their intelligence and demonstrated a strong bond of trust.
The excitement escalated with the arrival of the dolphins. Their performance was nothing short of breathtaking. Leaping high into the air, flipping, and gliding through the water with remarkable grace, they captivated the audience with their synchronized maneuvers.
This unforgettable show at Marine World Fukuoka served as a reminder of the wonders of marine life, the significance of their preservation, and the joy they bring into our lives. It was a delightful blend of entertainment, education, and appreciation for these amazing marine creatures.

About 350 species and 30,000 sea creatures are on display with the theme of the sea of Kyushu. It is divided into 10 types of aquariums, and the highlight is a large aquarium with the theme of the outer ocean of Kyushu. With a depth of about 7 metres, you can see the lives of creatures that are closer to the natural world, such as the upper, middle, and lower layers. In addition, there is Kaiju Island, where you can interact with seals and sea lears, and an otter pool where you can meet sea otters. The dolphin and sea lion show is held at the show pool with Hakata Bay in the background. Show times are subject to change, so check your schedule in advance.

【 Fukuoka trip. An aquarium themed on the sea of Kyushu】
#Fukuoka Attractions
[Fukuoka trip. Aquarium themed around the Sea of Kyushu】
🐠Dad knows that the two brothers love to see marine life, so he booked the "Marine World Hai Nakado Aquarium", which is located in the Hai Nakado Waterfront Park, is a Kyushu-themed aquarium that displays many of Kyushu's marine life.
🐡 The aquarium is 3 stories high, the venue is not big, but it is very good to walk, along the proposed route can be observed in the large aquarium various fish, very spectacular, beautiful photos, and you can buy fish to feed the sea lions, very suitable for taking children to play!
🦭 There are many performances at the aquarium, remember to do your homework and note down the performance time. We saw the dolphin and sea lion performances at the Ocean Theater and enjoyed the feeding performance of the sea otter.
🐬 Recommend you to eat in the restaurant on the 1st floor of the aquarium, you can watch the dolphins up close while tasting the delicacies, the marine food shape is very beautiful, and very tasty!
🐙After visiting the aquarium, the afternoon stayed at the "Hainaka Road Waterfront Park" to play. There are so many play facilities that I can't play in a day.

"Ocean World Uminonakamichi" 🐠An aquarium with the theme of the sea of Kyushu🦈
🐋The aquarium with the theme of "Kyushu Sea" is not far from the city of Fukuoka and the transportation is very convenient.
🐬The overall environment is very beautiful. Although the marine life exhibited in each aquarium is similar, you can still feel the careful display of the exhibition area and the smooth arrangement of the traffic flow.
🦭The semi-open-air performance pool is the most recommended. The performances of dolphins and sea lions are very exciting. 🐡What I like is the jellyfish area, with all kinds of jellyfish, which are very dreamy and beautiful after being lit.
🍣In addition, the gourmet restaurant on the first floor is adjacent to the performance pool, where you can enjoy delicious food while watching dolphins swimming. The marine life-shaped meals are also very popular, and they are both photogenic and delicious.
🐳 Overall, it is a very fun place. It takes a whole day to visit it carefully. If you want to spend a day together with the park outside, I think it is not enough. When you come to Fukuoka, I recommend that you put the aquarium in your itinerary.

Ocean Adventure — Fukuoka's Sea World Marine Path
The Sea World Marine Path is not just an ordinary tour; it's a journey into the mysteries of the ocean. As I stepped into this marine kingdom, the colorful schools of fish, the leisurely turtles, and the graceful dolphins, each exchange of glances filled me with awe. 🐠🐢
The dolphin show is the star attraction here, where the agile dolphins leap out of the water. Their performance is not just a display of skill, but also a silent communication and understanding with humans. At this moment, it seems possible to feel a special connection with these marine creatures. 🌟🌊
In the touch pool, I gently touched them with my fingers, feeling the warmth and texture of life. Although they belong to different worlds, at that instant, the boundaries blurred, and we were so close. 🤲💦
The Sea World Marine Path offers not only indoor exhibits but also outdoor entertainment facilities and play areas that bring endless joy to families. Children play to their hearts' content here, with every corner brimming with innocence and laughter. 👶🎢
At Fukuoka's Sea World Marine Path, every step is an exploration, every glance a discovery. From the mysterious deep sea to the bustling coastline, every creature, every landscape, tells the story of the ocean, and I am the listener of this story. 📚🐟

Marine World, Uminonakamichi Park at Fukuoka🐬
Where to choose for family travel in Fukuoka? Different marine creatures are displayed in the sea shopping lane of Sea World. My favorite is the dolphin show. The dolphins will fight together, swim on the water and perform on the shore, sing, ride waves, and spray water at the audience.
When you walk into the Shark House, some staff will give food to the sharks in front of your eyes. You will feel extremely scared in front of your eyes, as if the sharks are jumping towards you in search of food. It is both fun and exciting.
The penguin is the most popular among children. The penguin is so funny. It can't stand still when it swings down. It's very interesting.

🌸Take a trip to Marine World Fukuoka Aquarium.
#Sakura2024
🌸Marine World is an aquarium near Uminonakamichi Seaside Park in Fukuoka Prefecture. Inside, there are many aquatic life exhibits. There is a large aquarium. The beautiful lighting makes us feel that the nature of the sea is this beautiful.
🐬 In addition, there are shows of various animals such as seals. And the highlight is the dolphin show. It is fun, exciting, and new. I've never seen it anywhere before.
🦦 And the animal that impressed us the most here is little Riro-kun. He is a chubby sea otter. Fluffy fur is the cutest and most adorable. Anyone who sees it will have to say the word cute kawaii. 🥰

You can ta
You can take a boat to and from Hakata Port on Uminonakamichi, which takes about 20-30 minutes. It is very convenient.
It’s just that the flights are a little short, so please pay attention to the time.
The show inside is very exciting. The dolphins can also splash water🤣

Marine World
#fukuokatrip The show in the main pool is a lot of fun. The staff does a really good job at getting the crowd involved. It also changes based on seasons I am assuming. When we went in the summer they got into the water with the dolphins, but when I went in the fall they didn't. The dolphins instead had different tricks. It was nice that it wasn't the exact same show.
The other smaller shows are very interesting as well. I really enjoyed it overall. My favorite tank is the really large one with the sharks! So peaceful to just sit and watch them.
You can also get really up close and personal with the penguins. Overall, I recommend it.

#fukuokatrip
Marine World is the aquarium located in Fukuoka. You can reach out this place by train. I use a train and transfer the other train from Hakata. Marine World is located near sea and looks like an island. Many people visit this place with their children. Very good place to visit with children. You can see the dolphin show everyday. Awesome sea animals as well. I highly recommend this place to visit when you visit in Fukuoka, Japan.

Fukuoka Aquarium (Marine World Uminonakamichi)
An aquarium adjacent to the ocean, not far from downtown Fukuoka.
The facilities are quite large and there are many things to see, so it would be a great place to go with children.
#vacation trip #family trip
If you search on the Internet, the site will show you what performances, feeding, and training schedules are on that day at what time, so it would be good to refer to them.
If you have some free time, there is a well-developed beach park nearby, so I recommend going on a family outing. #Fukuoka trip #Fukuoka

"DENCHA" is a Fukuoka one-man train that runs along "Umi-no-nakamichi"
A Fukuoka one-man train nicknamed "DENCHA".
It stands for "DUAL ENERGY CHARGE TRAIN"
It runs on batteries even in non-electrified sections.
It runs between Nishitozaki and Umi
It seems to be used by many tourists.
The Nishitozaki area of Fukuoka is home to Umi-no-nakamichi Seaside Park
There are aquariums, amusement parks, pools, hotels, glamping, barbecues, live music events, and more
There are many tourists from both inside and outside Fukuoka Prefecture.
The train was designed by Eiji Mitooka, who also designed the cruise train "Seven Stars", so it's a train you'll want to use for sightseeing in Fukuoka, where you can also enjoy the interior design. #Fukuoka #FukuokaTourism #Umi-no-nakamichi #Kashii #Nishitozaki #Umi #FukuokaTrip

Marine World Umi-no-nakamichi 🐟 [Fukuoka Prefecture]
There are events every hour, such as dolphin shows, so I was able to stay there for a long time without getting bored.
There are many types of sea creatures and the tanks are quite large, so it's hard to choose.
Recommended for family outings or a date with your girlfriend!
Adult admission is 2500 yen per person, but if you are a JAF member, it's 2200 yen per person.
If you take the Fukuoka Urban Expressway and get off at Island City, you'll arrive in no time, so it was easy to access!
