Giant Aquarium with Whale Sharks!
The Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium is the biggest fish tank in the whole world with a plaque from Guinness to prove it. They also have three whale sharks, the largest and one of the rarest fish species known to man, in that gigantic ocean zoo!
Check out this quick video [.wmv], to get an idea of how massive that aquaruim really is with 7,500 tons of water behind 5ft thick acrylic glass wall.
Thank Tokyo Mango for the tip.
