Osaka Aquarium Kaiyukan, Japan

One of Japan's most magnificent aquariums, Osaka Aquarium Kaiyukan, is situated in the Tempo Zan Harbor Village of Osaka's bay area. It exposes several species of life that live along the Pacific Rim in an impressively well-organized manner. More than a dozen tanks filled with marine life, each one representing a different part of the Pacific Rim, are on show. The aquarium's star attraction, a whale shark, is housed in the nine-meter-deep central tank, which represents the Pacific Ocean.

Beginning on the eighth floor, visitors gently descend the aquarium's floors while circling the main tank. Some of the tanks have many floors, allowing viewers to view the animals from various angles and depths. The "New Interactive Area," which launched in 2013, enables guests to go near to the animals and perhaps even touch them. Three distinct zones have been built in the "New Interactive Area": the Arctic Zone, where you can see ringed seals, the Falkland Islands Zone, where you can see southern rockhopper penguins, and the Maldives Zone, where you can get up close and personal with stingrays and small sharks like brown banded bamboo sharks and coral catsharks. The museum shop reopened on February 22nd, 2020, following renovations completed in time for the business's 30th anniversary.
