If you are traveling to Osaka with kids🎎, we recommend planning a family trip to museums🐾 for one day. As these are indoor venues, you don't have to worry about the weather🌧️. Compared to simply walking or shopping, kids will be more interested in these places🤗. ⚠️Two suggestions: 1⃣Visit Osaka Kids Plaza in the morning, and head to Osaka Port in the afternoon to visit the LEGOLAND Discovery Center and Osaka Aquarium Kaiyukan. (Note: The last two museums are together. If you plan your schedule tightly, you can also take a ride on the Ferris wheel at Osaka Port.) 2⃣Buy tickets online 2 days in advance during peak season and reserve a time to enter the museum. It's not that you can't buy tickets on site, but you can't predict whether there will be a peak queue. 🌟[Osaka Kids Plaza] (also known as Osaka Children's Museum) Four floors of creative exhibition areas are open to the public, with various science games and career experience activities. 🕘9:30–17:00 🎫JPY 1,400 for adults, JPY 800 for elementary and middle school students, JPY 500 for children over 3 years old, free for children 2 years old and under 🚇About a 3-minute walk from Ogimachi Station 🌟[LEGOLAND Discovery Center] Recreates Osaka's attractions with millions of building blocks, and offers a variety of fun-themed rides and building activities. 🕙10:00–18:00 🎫JPY 2,200 on weekdays, JPY 2,800 on weekends, free for children under 3 years old 🚇About a 6-minute walk from Osaka Port Station 🌟[Osaka Aquarium Kaiyukan] One of the largest aquariums in the world, with nearly 620 species and more than 30,000 marine animals, featuring giant whale sharks. 🕙10:30–20:00 on weekdays, 9:30–20:00 on weekends 🎫JPY 2,700 for ages 16 and over, JPY 1,400 for ages 7–15, JPY 700 for ages 3–6, free for children 2 years old and under 🚇About a 7-minute walk from Osaka Port Station

#JapanTravel 📌Location: Osaka Kaiyukan 📌Features: It's great to see it together with the Tempozan Ferris Wheel. Kaiyukan is an aquarium with the concept of going down to the bottom of the sea from the 8th floor to the 4th floor, so the fish tank?? is huge and long. The Osaka Kaiyu Kitpu, which combines the Kaiyukan admission ticket and a 1-day pass for Osaka's transportation (subway, bus, New Tram), allows you to get a 50% discount on admission to major tourist facilities in the Osaka Port area. At the pier right next to Kaiyukan, you can board the Santa Maria, where you can enjoy a sightseeing cruise. This ship is a sightseeing ship that is twice the size of the Santa Maria, the sailing ship that Columbus rode when he discovered the American continent. It's worth a visit. Recommended!!!! #Osaka #Kaiyukan #OsakaAquarium

#OsakaTravel Osaka Aquarium Kaiyukan is located in the Tempozan Bay area of ​​Osaka Port and is one of the largest aquariums in the world. This red and blue building houses a 5,400-ton giant reservoir and 15 smaller reservoirs, displaying nearly 580 species of marine life from the Pacific coast. The Kaiyukan features a massive central tank that is home to the famous whale sharks, allowing visitors to get up close and personal with these giant creatures. In addition, the aquarium also has several themed exhibition areas, such as the Antarctic, Pacific and Great Barrier Reef areas, each of which carefully simulates a different marine environment. Visitors can also participate in special nighttime events and experience a different ocean world from that seen during the day. 📍Address: Osaka Aquarium Kaiyukan 1-1-10 Kaigan-dori, Osaka, Japan 💰Average consumption: Adult fare: 2,400 yen Child fare (elementary school students and younger): 1,200 yen Infant ticket price (4 years old and under): 600 yen

Smile Hotel I chose Smile Hotel for this trip to Osaka. It costs about 1,300 yen to go directly from the airport to Namba and then take a taxi. If you don’t have much luggage, you can take the subway from Namba to Nagahoribashi one stop and walk about 600 meters. The room was clean and bigger than expected. Address: 2-8-17 Higashi-Shinsaibashi, Chuo-ku, Osaka. Kaiyukan I highly recommend Kaiyukan! Really happy! One voice introduction is enough for two people, I ordered two which was a bit of a waste. If you don't know the names and characteristics of the animals, you won't be able to understand Japanese. Address: 1-1-10 Kaigandori, Minato-ku, Osaka City. Kizu Market Kizu Market is closed on Wednesdays! Be careful not to miss the target. We were disappointed because the seafood restaurant was crowded and we couldn't even eat even after waiting in line. Address: 2-2-8 Shikizu-Higashi, Naniwa-ku, Osaka City. Kyoto It is very convenient to go from Osaka to Kyoto, about an hour by train. There are many shops renting kimonos on the street, and the price is two to three hundred yuan a day. We mainly went there for Kaiseki cuisine, so we didn't rent a kimono. Otherwise the photos should be very good. Shinsaibashi There are many places to eat in Shinsaibashi and the shopping malls are also fun to visit. On our first night in Osaka we spent some time walking around and eating in Shinsaibashi. You can check Tabelog for food reservations. Some restaurants allow direct reservations or will have a reservation website address. The kaiseki restaurant I went to was a bit disappointing. The service and fish were not very good. Everything else is good. Address: Shinsaibashisuji, Chuo-ku, Osaka. Hand-Pulled Noodle The two ramen restaurants in front of the hotel are both good and recommended. There is a ramen shop at the Shinsaibashi intersection. Don't eat there, it's terrible! Barbecue Eating yakiniku in Osaka is really delicious even with your eyes closed. A barbecue restaurant I stumbled upon randomly in Shinsaibashi is called Dahuan. The beef tongue has a milky flavor and is really delicious. Address: Shinsaibashisuji, Chuo-ku, Osaka. #Osaka #OsakaHotel #OsakaTravel

I’d like to share my favorite and I think this is must visit places in Osaka that I went last time. 😍 1.Osaka Castle - A historical landmark with beautiful gardens and a museum. 2.Dotonbori & Shinsaibashi - A vibrant area famous for its street food, neon lights, and entertainment. 3.Universal Studios Japan - A popular theme park with attractions based on famous movies and characters. 4.Shinsekai - An old neighborhood with retro vibes, featuring Tsutenkaku Tower and local eateries. 5.Osaka Aquarium Kaiyukan - One of the largest aquariums in the world, showcasing marine life from the Pacific Rim. #osaka #dontobiri #shinsekai #shinsaibashi #usj #universalstudiojapan #osakaaquarium #kaiyukan #japan #kansai #kix

When in Osaka, don't miss Osaka Aquarium Kaiyukan. It is known as the world's largest aquarium. There are 15 large tanks with a variety of aquatic animals. It's like bringing the Pacific Ocean here. There are penguins, whale sharks, seals, rays, jellyfish, and many other creatures. The aquarium is arranged in a circular pattern. The inside is very beautiful. It's very exciting. It's another aquarium that you can't miss. Opening hours: 10:00-20:00 Transportation: Take the train to Osakako Station, then walk for about 5 minutes. #VisitAquarium #100WaysToVisit

☀️ In the scorching summer heat, of course, it's best to find indoor places to have fun! The aquarium is a great place for both education and entertainment~ 🇯🇵 I visited Osaka 10 years ago, and the most memorable place was the aquarium. 💃 I didn't think I would visit the aquarium again this time, but when I found out that the zoo was closed on Monday, I decided to go to the aquarium instead~ 🚇 Transportation: Getting off at the Universal Port Station is super convenient, just a few steps away from Tempozan. I wouldn't recommend driving as the parking fee is a bit expensive. 🎫 Tickets: Adult tickets are 2700 each, and there are also package deals available, including options like the Captain Line and the Santa Maria. We bought the one that includes the Santa Maria, which was 3700 per person. ✨ How to play: Claimed to be the largest aquarium in the world, I'm not sure if it is, but it feels like it's about the same as the rest of Asia. The area with the most people at the start is where you should quickly browse, and then take your time to enjoy the less crowded areas. The whale shark zone is really crowded! But the whale sharks are so cute!!! I didn't get to see the otters much this time, which was a bit disappointing. The aquarium is very clean, and there are also restaurants and souvenir shops. ⚠️Tips: There's a lot to do at Tempozan, including a Ferris wheel, shopping mall, Santa Maria, etc. You won't be bored spending a whole day here! 💙 In conclusion, the aquarium is a great place to escape the heat and truly enjoy the charm of marine life!

Osaka Aquarium Kaiyukan is one of the world’s largest aquarium with many marine species. The aquarium is well-designed, making the walk experience great. Most people like the whale shark 🦈 exhibit as well as the penguin 🐧 exhibit. It’s highly recommended to purchase tickets in advance as the ticket queue may be long during school holidays and you may need to wait for your turn to enter the aquarium. #citywalk

Remember to buy tickets on the official website before going, arrive on time and scan the QR Code to enter, no need to queue up in the hot queue outside to buy tickets🫶🏻 The goal of entering is to see the penguins🐧 fat and short, they are so cute! ! If the dolphins encounter employees feeding, they will interact with the dolphins, clap their hands, and spin around in place🫢 As I walked, I heard people saying they were hungry, delicious, sashimi. . 😆😆 It took 2 hours to walk, cool down the air conditioning and see how good it is 👍🏻 The Oceanarium is really suitable for both adults and children #OsakaSeaAmusement Park #FamilyGoods #OsakaAttractions #OsakaAquariums #OsakaMustSight Attractions

A truly once in a lifetime experience at the Osaka Aquarium Kaiyukan. Beautiful exhibit and central tank housing whale Sharks! I felt like a kid again in sheer amazement. The atmosphere is very tranquil and calming allow for a superior enjoyable experience for all ages. You can get lucky and watch the stay feed the animals as well and that alone is an memorable site to see! Forever locked in my memory.

August 21, 2023 If I came to Osaka alone, I probably wouldn't revisit Kaiyukan. But this time I came with two middle school students, and they really like penguins, sea lions and seals, so I revisited the place. In the hot summer, the air-conditioned Kaiyukan is actually a good itinerary. There was not much difference between the things in Kaiyukan ten years ago and now. My two nieces had a blast at the Aquarium and spent a lot of time watching the sea lions and seals at the Monterey Bay exhibit. My favorite fish to watch is the Mola mola sunfish. The first time I got to know it was when I visited the Aquarium Kaiyukan for the first time ten years ago. Warm reminder: There are two gift shops in the CNOOC Museum. After viewing the exhibition, you will see the gift shop at the exit, but it is very small. My nieces couldn't pick out the gifts they liked in this gift shop, so I told them to learn to give up and not buy just for the sake of buying. In the end, they bought gifts they didn't like and went home. As a result, when they walked down one floor and were about to leave, they saw a large gift shop. They excitedly ran in and spent half an hour shopping, and returned home with a lot of gifts. If time permits and you have purchased an Osaka Amazing Pass, you can go outside and take a free ride on the Tempozan Ferris Wheel. #Kaiyukan #Ferris wheel #Osaka #Osaka attractions #Molamola #Aquarium #osaka #aquarium #Kaiyukan #Osaka good places #Overseas travel #Night view #Japan travel #Japan attractions

Since I bought the OSAKA AMAZING PASS and came to Osaka Port Station, after riding the Ferris wheel, of course I couldn’t miss another famous attraction here - Osaka Aquarium Kaiyukan (but please note that this is not included in the free attractions of the tour pass). This aquarium is one of the best in Japan. It has 7 floors and a large area. There are many different kinds of marine life to see, which is especially suitable for family trips. We first looked at the feeding schedule at the entrance, took note of the parts we particularly wanted to see, and then began our journey of exploration. After entering, you will slowly walk down from the 7th floor. It feels a bit like the design of the Ocean Park Aquarium. My mother is a good audience. She is excited about everything she sees and even asked me to read her the introduction next to it. Although I didn’t know much about marine life, I was (forced) to learn a lot of knowledge😂 The chubby capybara and the penguins swaying from side to side in the Osaka Aquarium are my favorites. There are many children around them. If I have the chance, I will bring Avocado to visit again. The glass box design of the aquarium is very thoughtful, allowing visitors to view the animals inside from multiple angles, and it is quite close and clear. The last must-visit area I want to recommend is the interactive area where you can touch stingrays and small sharks (make sure to clean your hands before entering)! The mother still has a childlike heart and kept expecting the stingray to swim over, then she gently touched it. Of course, she took a few more pictures of this precious moment. These stingrays don’t seem to be afraid of people. They keep swimming over to let you touch them. They feel slippery to the touch, which is a very special experience. On a hot summer day, the aquarium is really a great place to visit! #Osaka Attractions #Kaiyukan #Osaka Places to Visit #Osaka Port #Marine Life

I went to Kuromon Market that day and had brunch, then took the subway to Aquarium KAIYUKAN, which took about half an hour and was very convenient. There are clear signs at the subway exit leading to the Aquarium Kaiyukan. Follow the signs for about 10 minutes and you will see Lego Land, which is right next to the Aquarium Kaiyukan. If you have enough time, we recommend visiting the Aquarium and Lego Land in one day. Tickets are also available in combination packs. Tickets are also sold for a combination of going to the sea + Kaiyukan, but I personally recommend not going to the sea🤣 The layout of Kaiyukan shows that each area is carefully designed, everyone is connected, and there are many small tables for stamping, which is very considerate. The restaurant is a bit small, and there are not many types of food and drinks, only hot dogs, soda and the like. The only advantage is that there is a seat overlooking the sea. In summary, it is a good place for leisure. You can bring your children here to learn about the ocean, calm down and watch marine life, and relieve stress at the same time, killing two birds with one stone☺️ #大坂自由行 #大坂亲子游 #海洋生物

Coordinates: https://maps.app.goo.gl/PZZmxTXi32x65JXA9?g_st=ic Getting there: We took the train to Osakako Station and walked a bit. It took us a short while to get there. Entrance fee: 2,700 yen (You can buy it at the entrance. The queue is a bit long, but it goes by slowly.) The aquarium is divided into several zones. When we went, the Great Barrier Reef zone was closed for renovation. What a shame. The highlight here is that there are whale sharks to see. The tank is not very big, but you can see them clearly. There are also penguins, seals, dolphins, sunfish, etc. When you come out of the aquarium, there is a shop for shopping for cute products and a restaurant. Every menu is made in the shape of a sea animal. It's cute and fits the theme perfectly. I highly recommend it. Bring your kids here and have fun. #Attractions for kids

#Japan Attractions [Enjoy whale sharks up close. Tenpo Mountain Sea Amusement Park】 🐋 "Tenpoyama Sea Aquarium" is one of the most spectacular aquariums in Japan. I brought my brother to visit a few years ago. I still remember his excited reaction to seeing the whale shark. 💕We bought the ticket online in advance, after landing at the counter to collect the tickets, today you can enter directly, very convenient! 🐡 "Tianbao Mountain Sea Tour Pavilion" is really big, if you slowly enjoy taking pictures, you can consume 3 hours! The favorite activity in the museum is to be able to touch the stingrays and small sharks, it is a very special experience, the younger brother has to be afraid and touch, very funny! 🐠 Of course, the main character whale shark, really huge and beautiful! There are also penguin feeding shows, king penguins, capybaras, seals, otters, jellyfish and different species of tropical fish. 🐳After walking, remember to visit the souvenir shop, the animal dolls inside are all cute! 🎡Annie's mother highly recommends!

#AquariumVisit Kaiyukan Aquarium is a large aquarium in Osaka, located in Tempozan Harbor Village. It has 8 floors in total, displaying creatures according to their habitats. There are 15 tanks to see, including aquatic animals, amphibians, reptiles, mammals, invertebrates, and various plants, totaling 30,000 creatures. The various types of creatures are arranged together to resemble the natural ecosystem as much as possible. Therefore, we can see many creatures living in this aquarium under the virtual exhibition. To visit Kaiyukan Aquarium, you must first enter from the top floor and then walk down to the bottom floor. As you walk around each floor, you will see aquatic animals living in different depths of water. But the highlight zone is the whale shark zone, which is the largest fish in the world. It swims in a tank that is 9 meters deep and holds 5,400 cubic meters of water. There is also a jellyfish zone with a galaxy theme. The small, transparent jellyfish move around, looking like bright stars in the sky. It's a beautiful picture. #DaddyMomTakesYouTraveling #DaddyMomInvitesYouTraveling #LetsTravel #AquariumTravel #KaiyukanAquarium #OsakaAquariumKaiyukan #Kaiyukan #Aquarium #TravelJapan #TheValueOfTravelIsNotMeasuredByDistanceButByHappiness

This aquarium is in Osaka. Every time I go there, I have to stop by here. There are so many cute aquatic animals. I like to sit and talk with the fish. 🤣🤣🤣 They also have a diving show. I watch it every time. I like it so much. And I like the stingray the most. What a cute and delicious fish. 555 I could stay here all day. The highlight is the sharks with sharp and fierce patterns. There is also a penguin show. I didn't have time to take a picture. If anyone wants to go, it's very easy to get there. Get off at Osaka Station and walk for 10 minutes. The entrance fee is about 2,300 yen. #Aquarium #TravelJapan #Osaka

If you go to Kaiyukan, you should definitely try this! Delicious! Whale Shark Bento The Whale Shark Bento is only sold at SEASAW, a cafe attached to the official museum shop on the second floor. SEASAW is not inside Kaiyukan, so enter from the side entrance near the Captain Line shuttle boat to Universal Studios Japan. There is also a Starbucks nearby. Whale Shark Bento 600 yen Whale Shark Soft Serve 410 yen I bought this. The Whale Shark Bento is steamed rice that is steamed after you order it. It takes about 10 minutes from when you pay attention to when you receive it. If you are going to Universal Studios Japan by shuttle boat, be careful of the time! The contents are ◯Soft and chewy soy sauce flavored rice ◯Meatballs ◯Omelette ◯Octopus Wieners ◯Green peas ◯Carrots ◯Beans (Whale Shark Eyes) It was so delicious that I was impressed, so I definitely recommend you try it! The portion wasn't that much, so I was able to finish it while on the Captain Line boat (just under 10 minutes each way). #OsakaSightseeing #Osaka #Kaiyukan #WhaleShark #WhaleSharkBento #WhaleSharkSoftServe
