    Not only is the Osaka Aquarium Kaiyukan one amongst the world’s largest, it is also Japan’s most notable aquarium. Since it is home to aquatic animals from Japan, the Pacific, and beyond, the Osaka Aquarium Kaiyukan is also an immersive learning experience about their charismatic ways of life. You may rent an audio guide to delve into the ocean of knowledge (literally) and pick up interesting facts about the animals that thrive before you.

    Organized into 15 zones, the Osaka Aquarium Kaiyukan houses over 30,000 animals that represent various environments in the Pacific Rim. The zones are arranged in a cascading fashion, starting with the “Japan Forest” and descending all the way down to the “Pacific Ocean”. This aquarium is known for its diverse display of otters, manta rays, penguins, and sharks in its many zones.

    Pay a visit to the exotic seals in the Arctic zone which is also known for housing the world’s largest dome-shaped ceiling tank. Wave at the rockhopper penguins in the Falkland Island zone and interact with rays and sharks in the Maldives zone. Saving the best for last, the Pacific Ocean zone is where one would go to marvel at the world’s largest fish, the whale shark. The aquarium is built specifically to make the animals feel comfortable, which further makes for a very informative experience for all visitors alike.
