Description

E-tickets for the Osaka Aquarium Kaiyukan are your fast pass to the incredible denizens of the Pacific Ocean. Book flexible e-tickets and you can glide into the aquarium anytime within the validity period (30 days of your booking date), just by scanning the QR code. Get straight in, without lining up to buy on the day. After entering, you’ll start your adventure in the tunnel-shaped Aqua Gate tank, then take the escalator up to the top-floor Japan Forest. Your route then leads down from the top floor, passing through such themed areas as Gulf of Panama, Ecuador Rain Forest, Antarctica, Great Barrier Reef, and Seto Inland Sea. You’ll see graceful sea creatures from every angle. A huge tank 9 by 34 meters in size replicates the Pacific Ocean, where whale sharks cruise past like majestic submarines. The domed tank in the Arctic Zone brings you closer than ever to its charming seals, while Fish Underpass surrounds you with colorful creatures. In the New Interactive Exhibit Area, feel what it’s actually like in the living environments that Kaiyukan represents. Experience the actual sounds, scents, and temperatures of the Arctic Region, Maldives Islands, and Falklands Islands (Malvinas). Stay after 17:00 to experience the otherworldly Kaiyukan Night Aquarium. Lights and music change to set a relaxing, almost mystical tone in the aquarium, while fish swim in their own deep blue seas as if under moonlight. If you find yourself hungry, head up to the restaurant where you can enjoy an ocean view while you eat. In the evening you can see an exquisite sunset over Osaka Port. With more than 30,000 aquatic animals from 620 species, including amphibians, reptiles, birds, mammals, invertebrates, and plants, Kaiyukan promises to awe and amaze guests of all ages.
