I was soothed by the whale sharks and many other fish at the Osaka Aquarium Kaiyukan!
This time, I'd like to review the Osaka Aquarium Kaiyukan, which I visited during my trip to Osaka!
In conclusion, "I absolutely love it!"
I was truly satisfied every single time! I wish I could have stayed longer if I had more time (lol).
I also love the Osaka Aquarium Kaiyukan and have visited it several times!

▼Now, let me introduce them!
I went to my favorite aquarium, Kaiyukan, with my family and my grandmother—a total of seven people!
This will be the first time in his life that our youngest son, who is three years old, will be visiting the Osaka Aquarium Kaiyukan.
Since I wasn't sure what time I would arrive, I didn't book tickets in advance. I arrived at the Osaka Aquarium Kaiyukan at 11:20 AM , but I was actually able to enter at 12:45 PM .
It's as crowded and bustling as ever, but I really want to see the whale sharks at the Osaka Aquarium Kaiyukan, which I love, so I'm going to visit, prepared for a long wait!
If you're planning to go, I highly recommend booking your tickets online in advance to minimize waiting times!
Don't worry about how to spend your time while waiting!
There are events being held in various locations, and you can also enjoy shopping and dining at Tempozan Harbor Village, so you won't be bored!
I never imagined I'd see a face-changing show in the plaza in front of the Osaka Aquarium Kaiyukan! (lol)
Honestly, I have no idea when things will change!
In Nagasaki, it's considered a good omen if you happen to encounter one!
There was an event by the Chinese Acrobatic Troupe in the plaza in front of the Osaka Aquarium Kaiyukan!
It was thrilling and exciting, and so much fun!
It's insane to stack them up that high and do a handstand without a safety harness! (lol)
Located next to the Osaka Aquarium Kaiyukan, "Tempozan Harbor Village" offers plenty of shopping and dining options, and events are sometimes held in the plaza, so you can enjoy yourself so much that you might not have enough time!

I've uploaded videos of the Osaka Aquarium Kaiyukan four and seven years ago, but this time, my three-year-old youngest son visited for the very first time, which gave me a different kind of emotional experience.
It's truly amazing to see the fish swimming gracefully in the enormous, impressive aquarium, which is easy for children to understand!
One of the great advantages of the time-based entry system is that the number of visitors is carefully controlled, so the museum never becomes overcrowded and you can't see anything.
Additionally, the route clearly indicates the remaining distance in the format "XXXm," making it easy to see how much further you have to go to reach the finish line, and allowing for better pacing even when traveling with small children.
And above all, the sight of two whale sharks swimming together gracefully in a giant tank is simply breathtaking, no matter how many times you see it!
It was a day that made me realize once again just how much I love the Osaka Aquarium Kaiyukan (lol).
You can comfortably see everything inside the museum in about 1 to 1.5 hours.
I hope this video will be helpful for families planning outings or visits to the Osaka Aquarium Kaiyukan!
