Water World

The sight of a shark in the sea is one of the few things that can make you cringe, unless, of course, the shark is behind acrylic glass and comfortingly well-fed. At Tempozan Harbor Village's Kaiyukan Aquarium, that is the situation. One of the biggest public aquariums in the world and a favorite tourist spot in Osaka, it often draws throngs of people to its walk-through exhibits of aquatic life. Don't pass up the opportunity to ride the 112.5-meter-high Tempozan Ferris Wheel for a fantastic perspective of Osaka after spending the afternoon at the aquarium.

Osaka Aquarium Kaiyukan is a favorite place to visit when traveling to Osaka. This is one of the largest aquariums in the world. Visiting Kaiyukan Aquarium is sure to impress visitors. This place has large aquariums with a length of up to 34m, a depth of 9m, a capacity of 5,400 tons of seawater that have faithfully recreated the underwater life of marine species in the Asia Pacific region. With 15 expansive aquariums housing more than 620 species and more than 30,000 marine life, visitors can explore the aquatic environment. Osaka Aquarium has established a new theme area called the continent "Antarctica" - imitate the home of Antarctic penguins - with the intention of conveying the enigmatic beauty of the blue sea in the ice continent and the enigmatic creatures living there. The world's largest whale shark, manta rays, and other species may all be seen up close by going through a sizable aquarium tunnel that simulates being submerged in the water while playing with the animals. The aquarium also houses amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals, all of which serve as representations of the stunning and diverse natural world. As a result, Osaka Aquarium Kaiyukan is among the intriguing Japanese tourist sites that shouldn't be missed.
