The Sea Turtle House was completed in July 2000 and is located on Ou Island next to Bade Haus Kumejima. There is a parking lot in front along with two statues, one with a boy riding a sea turtle. Past the main doors is an office on the left from which you can purchase your entry ticket. While they do offer a guide pamphlet, it is in Japanese. There is also a small gift store. Past another set of doors is a lounge area and a set of panel exhibits about sea turtles.More Information
