Osaka Aquarium Kaiyukan Highlights: Must-See Features and Attractions

Some information may have been translated by Google Translate

• Encounter approximately 620 species

• The world’s largest aquarium

• You can come into contact with a variety of animals

Kaiyukan is an aquarium that faithfully recreates the natural environment of the Pacific Ocean and its surrounding waters. Each region of the Ring of Fire that surrounds the Pacific Ocean has been selected and recreated in a large tank. Each tank in the aquarium is positioned to correspond to an actual geographical location in the Pacific Ocean. Approximately 30,000 creatures of 620 species are kept and exhibited in various tanks, including the "Pacific Ocean" tank in the center of the building where whale sharks swim leisurely, the "Japanese Forest" tank with its lush vegetation and waterfall, and the "Tasman Sea" tank where white-sided dolphins live. The "Jellyfish Galaxy" tank, which explores the charm of jellyfish, and the "Arctic Circle" tank, where ringed seals and other creatures live, are also popular.

△ [Aqua Gate] A world of blue spreads out before you, like a transparent undersea tunnel.

△ [Tasman Sea] In this tank, Pacific white-sided dolphins swim dynamically.

△ [Pacific Ocean] This tank is home to many creatures, including majestically swimming whale sharks, gracefully flapping manta rays, and schools of horse mackerel.

I have been to the Osaka Aquarium Kaiyukan twice. It's always so amazing. The layout of the aquarium makes a lot of bottlenecking, so it is really depends in how into fish and things like that you are. It's basically a big snake path that wraps around the huge central tank and a lot of people pe up as soon as they see the big tank. I been there during new year time a peak season for them to visit here, so it's super crowded. My advice here is if you want to visit Osaka Aquarium Kaiyukan, maybe u can visit during the non peak season.

An amazing experience at this world class aquarium. As one of the largest in the world, it can truly live up to its name. From sea life to reptiles, you are guided from area to area, taking in the many sights and amazements of the various exhibits. One of the best parts of the experience is the under aquarium tube that you travel through - being able to see many underwater giants float all around you. Don’t miss the dolphin show as it’s quite remarkable the agility and skill of this ocean wonder

The aquarium is really one of the best spots to relax on weekends. the colorful aquatic series with surroundings pleasant ambience makes this trip a worth. Penguins 🐧 and seal 🦭 are worth to watch and then add happiness with clown fish.

It will look at first glance like an oddly shaped red and blue building but it is actually the Osaka Kaiyukan which contains within it an aquarium. It is a very popular tourist destination and on the day we visited, we arrived during midday without having booked a ticket only to be told that we had to wait until 4 PM before there is space for us to go into the Kaiyukan. There is thankfully the Tempozan shopping center nearby to kill sometime. Entering the Kaiyukan, the visitor is first directed
