    As Osaka is an important Japanese/Asian port, it's natural to assume there's an aquarium here.
    The complex around the aquarium here (Tempozan Harbor Village) is a great way to spend the day with the kids, or on your own.
    Within walking distance of the subway are:
    - Universal Studios Japan
    - Osaka Aquarium
    - Suntory Museum
    - Tempozan Marketplace
    ...and a further subway stop or two (or a good heathy walk):
    - Osaka Maritime Museum
    - Nanko Bird Sanctuary
    - Asia World trade Centre (business)
    - great shopping

    Famous kaiyukan (aquarium) and the Ferris Wheel next to it at the Tempozan Harbour Village. Think the Ferris Wheel was at one time the largest Ferris Wheel in the world (not sure if it still is).

    I enjoyed the aquarium, but it's a good idea to go when it's quiet, a weekday for example, otherwise the crowds are horrendous. Osaka people aren't exactly renowned for their manners in such situations either, plenty of elbows going here and there.

    There are plenty of different species to look at, and it's worth a visit as long as it's not on the weekend.

    I saw the amazing long glass tunnel under the water in this aquarium. The aquarium was very large. There were also many fishes and other ocean creatures there. I liked to visit this aquarium very much.

    Osaka Aquarium is a great place to spend the day and see sea creatures with your family and/or friends. Be very careful though, if you take small children. The place gets so crowded that if your child wanders off, like mine did, you'll be running around frantically trying to find the child. Luckily, Japan is a generally safe place to lose a child. Mine wandered downstairs to the help booth and ended up staying there with another child that had done the same thing playing a game while waiting for me to come pick her up. The aquarium, though, has some great ocean life swimming around in the tanks. So don't forget your camera and a leash for your kid.

    Osaka Aquarium is one of the largest aquariums in the world. Firstly, you travel up this giant escalator to the very top floor, where you walk your way down as if you are descending through the depths and different layers of the sea. You will see otters, monkeys, penguins, and dolphins. As you descend, you can watch these animals swimming. It is an amazing experience to see the bouyancy of the otters whilst they clean themselves floating on their backs, and you can also watch the dolphins from an underwater point of view as they gracefully swim and play in the sea! Osaka aquarium holds a whale shark, which is the largest shark ever held in an aquarium. There is also a sunfish, which is the strangest looking fish ever! The jellyfish were also amazing to see. They were lit up strategically by UV lights so some glowed a red color, some glowed white, some blue. They pulsate gently, and look like aliens from another world! Oh, talking about aliens, the Japanese Deep Sea Crabs were giant alien looking creatures! They are huge! And creepy! Definately a sight worth seeing! If you go to the aquarium on the weekend, be prepared for many many children and crying babies, perhaps during the week would be more relaxing! However, I went on the weekend, and it was still a very enjoyable experience!

    Starting from Japanese forest, down to the underwater creatures in Pacific Ring of Fire (volcanic zone), to Antartica and so on. See the dolphins dive and swim very fast! You can even see the penguins--they made the temperature in the penguin "cabin" similar to the pole. The big aquarium in the center where we follow down in spiral circle has big ocean creatures such as mantas and sharks. At the end of our journey, we can see beautiful colourful glowing jellyfish.
