Sea Turtle Pool

Visitors will be able to watch the sea turtles that live within the Okinawa waters, from both above and below. The sea turtles can be seen underwater from the underground viewing room. Within the enormous water tank, we have placed a sand area for the turtles to lay their eggs and we have been blessed with new eggs every year. There is said to be 7 species (some say there are 8) of sea turtles in the entire world, and our Sea Turtle Pool is home to 5, including the Hawksbill turtle, Loggerhead sea turtle, Green sea turtle, Kemp's Ridley and the Black turtle.

Viewing is admission free. The pool is approximately a 9 minute walk from the Park Information Center (Haisai Plaza). The Electric Trolley (charges apply) can be used for access as well.
