Whale sharks on an Okinawa headland, a tank inside a Tokyo skyscraper, another in a Ginza gallery. Entry is around $16 almost everywhere, so these 15 are sorted by what the building does rather than what it charges.

★★★★★★★★★★4.1 · 20 reviews · 11 hours · from $61

Review of Okinawa’s 11-hour bus tour to Churaumi Aquarium, Cape Manzamo, Bise Fukugi Road, and American Village, with lunch included.

“Il y avait trop d’endroit à visiter pour la même excursion. J’aurai préféré avoir plus de temps à chacune des activités et avoir moins d’activités. La visite du village et l’endroit des vieux arbres devrait être retiré à mon avis. J’ai apprécié les autres endroits. Le bus était propre et ponctuel. La guide était gentille.”

“Jan was an incredible guide that went above and beyond to make our honeymoon unforgettable. He knew the area of Okinawa insanely well and could make very good recommendations just from talking with you. If you are second guessing this you need to book him now he will be better than any tour guides in the area.”
