It’s a nice waterfront area, but the main view is of industry. A car factory for example. There are... read more

When we docked in Osaka at 6pm we saw a row of cherry trees in blossom and a gigantic ferris wheel which changed colour. There was a very modern Japanese Tempozan shopping centre next to the terminal and also an aquarium – apparently the largest in the world! The pedestrian area outside the shopping centre was very attractively lit up. Unfortunately, we didn’t see much more of Osaka apart from the drive to the station to catch the bullet train to Kyoto.

It is the waterfront area. There is the ferris wheel, boardwalk and a small park here.

We came here in December, so it was cold and there was minimal outdoor activities.

It was really quiet and we felt isolated.

This area is probably best avoided on Japanese public holidays with long queues for most activities. We visited the aquarium but the other attractions we wanted to see just had insane queues. Probably would have been better to come on another day.

Another tourist area, so expect higher prices. There is a food court where prices are more reasonable. You see the usual shopping malls, restaurants, entertainment etc. Accessible using the Osaka metro.

This is Osaka’s version of Kobe’s Meriken Park, though the view is not as stunning. Accessible via the Chuo (green) subway line at the Osaka-ko station, this place has all the touristy attractions - Osaka Kaiyukan Aquarium, the ferris wheel ride, Lego Discovery Centre and a mini mall for your food and souvenirs (Tempozan marketplace). Come here only if you’re visiting one of these attractions.
