OKINAWA CHURAUMI AQUARIUM LOST AND FOUND
Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium lost and found: aquarium and Ocean Expo Park
The official lost-and-found routes for Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium, Ocean Expo Park, its parking areas, and items found elsewhere in northern Okinawa.
Last verified: September 29, 2026
Short answer
Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium's official FAQ tells visitors to call the aquarium for an item lost at the aquarium or the Ocean Expo Park Management Center for an item lost in the wider park. The aquarium route and the park route are different, so identify the building, outdoor area, parking area, restaurant, shop, or shuttle before contacting the operator. If the location is outside the park, contact the relevant hotel, bus, rental-car company, or police station separately.

What to do
- 1
Separate aquarium from park grounds
Write down whether the item was inside the aquarium, at a restaurant or shop, on an outdoor path, at a beach or garden area, in a parking lot, or on a park shuttle.
- 2
Call the matching official desk
The official FAQ lists the aquarium at 0980-48-3748 and the Ocean Expo Park Management Center's park-use service desk at 0980-48-2741. Use the desk matching the last controlled area.

Describe the visit precisely
Include the date, approximate time, ticket or reservation context, exhibit or facility, parking zone, route after the loss, brand, color, contents, and distinctive marks.

Coordinate outside operators
If the item may be on a bus, rental car, hotel, or another attraction in Motobu, make a separate report to that operator and to police when appropriate.

What if I lost something in a park parking area?
Give the parking area and time to the park-use service desk and ask whether the parking operator keeps a separate record. Do not assume the aquarium desk can search every outdoor area.
