Osaka Aquarium Kaiyukan Highlights: Must-See Features and Attractions
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
• Encounter approximately 620 species of living creatures
• The world’s largest aquarium
• You can come into contact with a variety of animals
Kaiyukan is an aquarium that faithfully reproduces 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 reproduced 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 a waterfall and lush vegetation, 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 starlings.

The largest indoor aquarium in the world, Osaka is a must-visit☀️ 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!SereneEscapesBySmith1

Following Jaehyun from NCT at Kaiyukan Aquarium.Let's follow the footsteps of the NCT127 boys at Kaiyukan Aquarium! Kaiyukan Aquarium is one of the must-visit attractions in Osaka, as it is the largest aquarium in Asia. It features a wide variety of aquatic animals and other species that are not found in Thailand, such as whale sharks and otters. It's definitely a great experience and worth the admission price. There are timed entry slots which you can inquire about at the front counter. The staff are very helpful. I was particularly impressed by the overhead dome where you can see otters swimming through - that's the spot where Jaehyun from NCT took a photo! After visiting the aquarium, you can also go on the Tempozan ferris wheel and take a cruise on the Santa Maria ship to view Osaka Bay, with USJ on the opposite shore. It's like hitting three spots in one visit, saving a lot of time. You can visit all three places in less than a day. The journey is also easy and straightforward, accessible by JR train from Osaka station with just a short walk. I visited in May when the weather wasn't too hot, around 25 degrees Celsius, but the sun was very strong. Don't forget to bring an umbrella or a hat.Jinnxjeong

Sea Animals are waving!#thingstodo Absolutely loved this aquarium. I found it incredibly well done with great exhibits and variety. The Great Barrier Reef section was closed for upgrading works when we were there but it was still an overall fantastic experience. The 2 whale sharks were definitely the highlight. Such beautiful, magnificent creatures. Pro tip: buy your entrance tickets online and get the table of feeding times on the website before you come here and plan your visit accordingly. They don’t display all the feeding times in one place anywhere; rather, the feeding time is displayed on each individual exhibit, so it makes it quite challenging to see overall feeding times in one place to plan your route. You can easily spend half a day here.Ms.Claire

The Chinese giant salamander is considered to be a "living fossil". Although protected under Chinese law and CITES Appendix I, the wild population has declined by more than an estimated 80% since the 1950s.
it is extensively farmed and sometimes bred, although many of the salamanders on the farms are caught in the wild. It has been listed as one of the top-10 "focal species" in 2008 by the Evolutionarily Distinct and Globally Endangered project.
It is considered critically endangered in the wild due to habitat loss, pollution, and overcollection, as it is considered a delicacy and used in traditional Chinese medicine. On farms in central China.
Osaka Aquarium Kaiyukan, also known as kaiyukan,is a mesmerizing aquatic wonderland that offers an unforgettable experience for visitors of all ages.
Osaka Aquarium is one of the most beautiful aquariums I have visited. the people are so friendly and helpful and there is so much to see (my favorite were the Otters) It’s very affordable and you can even get a package that includes a ferry ride after the aquarium. Everything in there is so beautiful and they have many different eateries and a ferries wheel right outside. I would definitely go back!
