What to Expect

Marine World Uminonakamichi aquarium focuses on the aquatic life of Tsushima's warm current and is made up of a total of 70 tanks. The three largest contain 2,000 m3 (530,000 US gal), 1,400 m3 (370,000 US gal) and 720 m3 (190,000 US gal) respectively. The largest is used for dolphin and sea lion shows, the middle contains more than 120 sharks of 20 species, while the last is for dolphins.

Other marine mammals at the aquarium include sea otters and spotted seals.

Kushida Shrine is dedicated to the gods of Ohatanushi-no-mikoto, Amaterasu-omikami and Susanowo-no-mikoto. According to tradition, in 757, when Emperor Koken was in the reign and Tairano Kiyomori designated Hakata port as a base of Japan-China trade, the shrine was built on the emperor’s order to share a god with Kushida shrine of Ise province (the present Mie prefecture).
In 1585 during the Hakata restoration, Toyotomi Hideyoshi contributed to rebuild the current main building of the shrine.

The tour will be conducted mainly by English materials such as a brochure and a pamphlet.

Our perfect itinerary

We had an amazing day with our friendly driver. We visited all of the destinations we had chosen as well as some surprise stops with delicious food and interesting shops. The experience was a delight from start to finish. And with the same driver staying nearby tonight, we will also be taken to Fukuoka airport tomorrow morning for the rest of our journey. Kurokawa Onsen, Mt Aso, and the Nabegataki Falls can be difficult to reach by public transport, so the solution we have been given is perfect.

Thank you for being our customer and leaving us a wonderful 5-star review. We are so glad to know that you enjoyed your trip in Kumamoto and wish you all the best for the rest of your trip. Have a nice day!

Efficient and Fully Dependable

I booked the service several months before the actual event and was very happy that on the actual day the taxi showed up at my cruise terminal as arranged. The driver was efficient and knew exactly what was required although he did not speak english. Can recommend them as a convenient and cheaper way to tour Aomori instead of joining a ship excursion.

Tr taxi R.

Thank you for recommending us in your review! We are so glad to know that you have enjoyed your trip in Aomori and hope that we will be able to assist you in exploring other parts of Japan in the future. Thank you!
