OSAKA AQUARIUM KAIYUKAN

Topping the list of some of the most unique Osaka beautiful places is the Osaka Aquarium Kaiyukan. With a structure that resembles giant blocks of Lego, this aquarium is one of the biggest in the world. It is here where you can see several thousand marine and other wildlife species not just from Japan, but also from Antarctica, the Pacific Ocean, the Great Barrier Reef as well as the Monterey Bay.

Home to 27 large tanks, the aquarium is a great place to catch sights of freshwater marine species, in addition to the native Japanese mammals and reptiles. For a more unique experience, visit the aquarium at night, when all the tanks are lit up, making the ambience more magical.
