Fodor's Review:
This eye-catching red, gray, and blue building is the best aquarium in Japan. More than 11,000 tons of water hold a multitude of sea creatures, including whale sharks, king penguins, giant spider crabs, jellyfish, and sea otters. You can stroll through 15 different re-created environments, including the rivers and streams of Japanese and Ecuadorian forests, the icy waters around Antarctica, the dark depths of the Japan Sea, and the volcanically active Pacific Ring of Fire. To get here, take the Chuo subway line to Osaka-ko Station; the aquarium is a five-minute walk northwest from the station.
- Cost: ¥2,000
- Open: Tues.–Sun. 10–8; last entry at 7
