Japan Travel Day 7 - Osaka Tsutenkaku Tower 🌸

🌇Japan Travel Day 7 - Osaka Tsutenkaku Tower & Osaka Aquarium Kaiyukan & Ferris Wheel 🌺Morning: Tsutenkaku Tower 🍃This morning, we visited the Tsutenkaku Tower, a lookout tower less than 100 meters tall. 🎢It wasn't particularly impressive, but one notable thing was that you could get stamps of seven deities there. 🎢 The tower's slide requires a height of over 1.2 meters to ride. 🌇My son couldn't meet the height requirement and ended up crying a lot. 😢 🌺Afternoon: Osaka Aquarium Kaiyukan 🍃In the afternoon, we went to the Osaka Aquarium Kaiyukan, and I genuinely loved it. 🎢 The aquarium is massive, with a wide variety of animals on display. The most popular animals were the otters, dolphins, and penguins. 🌊 The most breathtaking part was the two large whale sharks in the tank. 🌿 Their size and intricate patterns were simply astonishing. I spent a long time watching them, just mesmerized by their beauty. 🐳 The aquarium also had many stamps available for collection, and the kids were thrilled, hunting for them like it was a treasure hunt. 🌟 🌊Souvenir Shopping 🌸The souvenir shop was great fun. We bought lots of small plush keychains, and each of us picked our favorite animal. 🌿Naturally, I got a whale shark keychain. 😄 🌊 The gacha machines in the shop had exquisite craftsmanship, featuring five representative animals. We tried three times and got seals, which weren't our first choices. 🌸 Feeling a bit disappointed, we tried two more times and got a manta ray on the first try and a whale shark on the second. Wow, what a satisfaction! 🎉 Ferris Wheel Ride 🌿After leaving the aquarium, we used our Osaka Amazing Pass to ride the Ferris Wheel for free. It was a delightful experience. After the ride, we grabbed some ramen at a nearby restaurant and headed back to the hotel, feeling very content. 🍜 Tips: 🌸The Osaka Aquarium Kaiyukan does not accept the Osaka Amazing Pass. The admission fee is 2,700 yen for adults, 1,400 yen for children aged 7-15, and 700 yen for children under 6. 🌿 You can buy tickets on-site, but be prepared to wait for about an hour for a scheduled entry time. While waiting, you can explore the adjacent mall. 🌿 #JapanTravel #Osaka #OsakaAquarium #TsutenkakuTower 🌊🎢
