The journey begin on the top floor of the building,8th floor, with wildlife on the beach or surface water, then step dowm floor by floor with spectacular animal from japan and all over the world. The outstanding star is Giant whale shark within big tank of waters with transparent high pressure proof acrylic panes where we can observe its natural lifes with amazing grace with other marine lifes.

Ths is place brings calm and peace, the bridge is beautiful. The steps on the bridge are deceptively steep but when you walk on them they are just like ordinary stairs, amazing architectural design. Take the subway to Tennoji station then Hankai line tram to Sumiyoshitorii-Mae, you get to enjoy the charming tram too, an unexpected experience in modren Osaka,

5. Minoo Park

Reviewed By edithssalazar - Baguio, Philippines
We visited Minoo Park after a morning rain so it was a cold overcast afternoon. The autumn colors were stunning we couldn’t stop taking pictures along the 2.8 km uphill path going to the Minoo waterfalls. It was my 5th time in the Kansai area so we decided to go “off the beaten path” and it was all worth it. If you stay in Northern Osaka this is just a 15 minute train ride to the outskirts. It was so easy to find, we saw the signs as soon as we got off the train. It was a serene and pretty place with crisp clean air. I would love to go back on a sunny day though.

Tour the facility that produces Japanese coins and medals of honor and visit the historic coinage museum year-round. If you visit during the spring, you might catch the cherry blossoms on the Mint's 400 cherry trees.
7. Expo '70 Commemorative Park

Reviewed By rob3170 - Melbourne, Australia
I'm not normally one to get excited by strolling in the gardens, but this was actually quite good fun. The autumn colours especially made it enjoyable, and the fresh air and blue skies helped. The highlight was the Sun God statue you encounter when you come in - I quite like that sort of sculpture but it may not be everyones taste. Note, I got in to the park for free on the day I visited. Not sure why. I don't know what entry normally is, but that may have changed my opinion a bit - but still, if you enjoy a stroll in parks and gardens, this will be fun.
