Love aquatic creatures? Osaka Kaiyukan is a must visit

Honestly spent 3 hours at Osaka Aquarium Kaiyukan — it was just too pretty! Each enclosure came with a backstory and fun facts, which made the whole experience even more interesting. If you ask me, this place is a must-visit when you’re in Osaka. The layout takes you on a spiral journey down multiple floors, starting from the top and slowly circling around a massive central tank featuring their famous whale shark. Other highlights: super cute seals, glowing jellyfish and playful otters! It’s spacious, clean, and very well-maintained — suitable for couples, families, or solo explorers. Also fully indoor, so it’s a great rainy day activity. We got our tickets on Trip.com to skip the queue. Pro tip: go earlier in the day to avoid the crowd and get the best views! #osakaitinerary #kaiyukan #osaka #travel #myitinerary
