Highlights

Whale Shark Exhibition

Travel from the 8th floor down to the 4th all while gazing as these majestic and serene creatures swim alongside other marine life in their collosal tank. The Kaiyukan has one of the world’s largest manmade habitats for whale sharks and the cylindrical tank ensures that you’ll see their every angle.

Touch Tanks

In the Maldives area of the Osaka Kaiyukan you can experience touching some incredible species of sharks and rays. Compare the texture of the rough sharkskin to that of the smooth ray. Will you be brave enough to reach down and touch these majestic animals?

Night Aquarium

Experience a new whole of marine life and romance during the mysterious night aquarium. Every night from 5 pm until close the lights are dimmed and the aquarium takes on an otherworldly quality as the animals show their nighttime behavior and begin to fall asleep. Let their sleepy world lull you into a calm unlike any other.

Tempozan

At the nearby Tempozan Harbor Village right outside of Kaiyukan, you can see even more interesting things, like Legoland Discovery Center Osaka; the Tempozan Marketplace with its various shops; or Naniwa Kuishinbo Yokocho, an eatery with local specialties as well as well-loved staples. Then take a 15-minute ride on the Tempozan Giant Ferris Wheel, one of the largest in the world.
