Osaka Aquarium Kaiyukan
The exhibits are diverse; in "Japanese Forest," you can enjoy a natural environment with waterfalls and lush vegetation, while in "Tasman Sea," you can observe the lives of dolphins. The "Jellyfish Galaxy" showcases enchanting jellyfish. In 2020, to celebrate its 30th anniversary, the aquarium renewed its tank lighting, realistically reproducing moments when sunlight penetrates the ocean and when clouds obstruct the light.
Access is convenient, just a 5-minute walk from Osaka Metro Chuo Line's "Osakako Station." For families, couples, and nature lovers, Kaiyukan is the perfect spot to appreciate the beauty of the Pacific Ocean and the value of life. Take this opportunity to reflect on the wonders of life and the importance of the Earth's environment.
