Review:
The Osaka Aquarium Kaiyukan is arguably the most impressive aquarium in Japan. Nestled in the bay area, in the Tempozan Harbor Village, the aquarium specifically features the aquatic animals found in the Pacific Rim. The aquarium’s main draw is its nine-meter central tank which features animals of the Pacific Ocean including a majestic whale shark. For first-time guests, the best way to explore the Osaka Aquarium Kaiyukan is to start at its top level, the eighth floor, and to travel downwards, seeing other exhibits while circling the central tank. What’s unique about the Kaiyukan is the way it allows visitors to see animals at different depths and perspectives thanks to many of its tanks stretching across several floors.
