Osaka Aquarium is hands down one of the BEST aquariums out there! It is one of the biggest aquariums in the world and houses over 600 species of animals. Outside, there is a range of restaurants and convenience stores so if you’re in a rush then you can grab a snack and head on in.

I recommend taking your time inside to embrace the spectacular designs and amazing animals. Upon entering the ‘Pacific Ocean’ tanks with the whale sharks, there was a massive crowd surrounding the tank as it showcases a vast amount of incredible species ranging from turtles, octopuses, Japanese spider crab, stingrays, jellyfish and so many more.

My favourite part is the seals as they are just a representation of me in my daily life.. lazing around and chilling in the cold. You can stand there for hours and stare at them as they are a big ball of cuteness!
There is also a petting zoo towards the end and it is such an awesome experience to get up close to stingrays and baby sharks. You are allowed to touch them but just be careful not to touch the stingray’s tail and avoid going close to their mouth.

There is a souvenirs store at the end where they have the cutest seal plushie. I recommend anyone visiting Osaka to swing past the aquarium because it is not a place to miss!
