Mushfiqur Rahman Chowdhury:“Considered one of the best aquariums in the world and it’s definitely for good reason. Lots of unique fishes that are only available at the site so that’s a great motivation for marine lovers too! Don’t miss out the dolphin show just outside the main auditorium area too.”
くろくり:“My first bullfight! I was so excited.
About 3,000 people gathered in the magnificent dome, reminiscent of the Colosseum, which seems out of place on an island with a population of 30,000.
It was a moment that made me feel the passion the islanders have for bullfighting.”
Anonymous user:“I thought my trip to Jurassic Park in Okinawa would be a sour memory due to the chaotic management. The tickets for the popular attractions sold out as soon as they opened, making our early morning rush seem like a joke. The lack of a proper dining area was a shame for the food, which was beyond our expectations. We waited in line for the off-road vehicle after midnight [facepalm]. I only did this one ride the entire morning, and I wanted to hit someone! I felt bad for bringing my kids to this kind of trouble, even though I'd already been to summer camp once [embarrassing]. I was so frustrated by my decision.
The moment I entered Spa Junglia, my resentment seemed to evaporate with the steam. "World's only extravagant attraction" was truly a joke!
I had thought I'd just cut my losses after the hot springs, but the popular safari turned out to be the biggest surprise. The moment we climbed onto the tour bus, the Jurassic World of the movie suddenly came alive—dinosaurs roared from deep within the jungle. When we saw the scene where a soldier was devoured by a dinosaur, my heart nearly leaped out of my chest! The realistic movements, roaring sound effects, and the staff's all-out performance made me grip the handrails tightly, holding my breath, speechless with awe.
Even luckier, we caught the penultimate show. At the end, the staff smiled and said, "You can do it again." It was like finding an Easter egg! During the second ride, I focused on details I hadn't caught before: the texture of the dinosaurs' skin, the hidden traps in the jungle, and the thrilling "swallowing scene." I was even more captivated.
At 7:30, fireworks suddenly exploded over the park. My child and I, in the safari bus, looked up and exclaimed in amazement. Perfect!
This trip, which was nearly doomed to be overwhelmed by negative reviews, was ultimately redeemed by the warmth of the hot springs, the awe of the safari, and the dazzling display of fireworks. Perhaps imperfection is the norm in travel, but it is these unexpected highlights that make memories particularly vivid - it turns out that the four words "worth the trip" have always been hidden at the corner of "almost giving up".”

China living:“Plenty to see and do. There are a number of different performances to watch. Time your trip right and you can watch the various performances. The butterfly park was a little disappointing.”
Mushfiqur Rahman Chowdhury:“Unfortunately for me, I happened to be there during renovation time so I couldn’t catch the final version but the general structure was visible from a distance and looked very impressive. There’s a nice souvenir shop close to the entrance as well with interesting designs and keepsakes.”

Iuliia Gorelova:“Сказочная пещера, что впечатляет своими размерами. Также в парке проводится шоу барабанщиков. Было интересно посетить музей посвящённый змеям.”

东海:“This is a chain restaurant that only operates in Kagoshima and Amami. It is very economical. It mainly provides simple meals and set meals. Many set meals come with coffee and all-you-can-eat drinks. I have eaten breakfast here many times on Amami Oshima, and I am so happy to have met it again in Tokunoshima this time!”
东海:“Very delicious island ramen. A typical mom-and-pop shop, but very clean and local. The ramen soup is very very good and cheap. I really sympathize with those who flock to the crowded Ichiran and other internet celebrities to check in, hahahaha.”
