A Rainy Day in Osaka

We decided to see Osaka Aquarium so booked online then set out in the rain to the station. The Osaka Aquarium Kaiyukan is one of the largest aquariums in the world. It has a huge tank housing an array of sea creatures including two enormous whale sharks, rays, sharks and fish. It also has many other displays of other sea life such as otters, dolphins, seals and penguins. We spent a few hours enjoying the exhibits along with many school children. After the Aquarium we headed to catch a train to Dotonbori shopping area. This is a very busy area near a canal. It has long wide arcades with many restaurants, boutiques, high end stores, cafes etc. We looked around and stopped at a restaurant for lunch. Later we realised we were close enough to our hotel to walk back.Læs mere
