Osaka Kaiyûkan Aquarium 大阪海遊館

The Kaiyûkan aquarium, one of the most beautiful aquariums in Japan

Located at the water's edge, Osaka lives to the rhythm of the ocean. In Japan more generally, the sea is never far and its imprint is anchored in the landscape. The Kaiyukan Aquarium shows a sustained connection to the aquatic world and offers a visit that will appeal to the whole family!

A Japan for families, both children, and adults

 

This family outing entertains young and old alike and everyone will enjoy the variety of species that coexist. The meal times of the inhabitants of this miniature sea are available on the website of the aquarium, which can lead to very entertaining shows for the little ones.

The more curious can also come at the end of the afternoon and visit at night. In the twilight of twilight, observing penguins asleep against each other or otters floating on the surface of the water in their sleep gives the impression of rediscovering the animal kingdom in its intimacy.

At the end of the visit, a special room will not fail to surprise you: a contact space, where it is possible to touch certain specimens without risk . Wash your hands, then dare to immerse them in the water to stroke stingrays, small sharks, and fish ... A unique experience that will please young and old alike.
