The Bay Area faces Osaka Bay. It is home to the Osaka Kaiyukan, famous for its whale shark exhibit, and Universal Studios Japan (USJ), which attracts people with its many attractions.
The Osaka Bay Area offers tourist attractions such as Kaiyukan, INTEX Osaka, and Osaka Municipal Central Gymnasium, sightseeing events such as the River Festival, the Yochi-Yochi-Walking Grand March, the Penguin Parade, and the 1300-year-old traditional Nagare Nagare-Suijin Festival - River Festival, and local gourmet foods such as okonomiyaki, takoyaki, and sake lees soup.
It can be said that Tempozan is one of the most amusement-oriented areas in the port area of Osaka. Not many people know that there really is a mountain. The lowest mountain in Japan, listed by the Geographical Survey Institute as 4.5 meters above sea level, is Tempozan. However, few people know this fact because the surrounding facilities are so famous.
The area is also famous for the newly built Universal Studios Japan (USJ), one of the most exciting amusement complexes in the world.
Among the various amusement facilities in Tempozan, the first one I would like to introduce is the famous Kaiyukan. The world's largest shark, the whale shark, is the centerpiece of Kaiyukan.
The world's largest aquarium is truly impressive, and the complete reproduction of the undersea ecosystem is a wonderful sight that can only be seen here.
The collection of various fish and sea creatures, as well as the night tank that recreates the world of the deep sea, make Kaiyukan a fun amusement that will make you lose track of time as you see so many rare and unique things.
In addition, the Tempozan Market Place, Osaka Culture Museum Tempozan, and Naniwa Shokushinbo Yokocho are located next to the Kaiyukan. The "Tempozan Giant Ferris Wheel" is another famous tourist attraction located here.
In front of the Kaiyukan Plaza, street performers are always entertaining visitors with their performances. It is a sightseeing spot that can be enjoyed by couples, families, and other visitors of all kinds.
Speaking of gourmet food, "Naniwa Kuishinbo Yokocho" is the place to go. This amusement park recreates the atmosphere of Osaka in its heyday around 1970, with a shopping district in front of the station, a downtown area, and other themed areas.
In this atmosphere, representative gourmet foods of Naniwa have been carefully selected and opened. If you want to experience Naniwa's food culture and eat until your stomach bursts, please enjoy Naniwa's gourmet food to your heart's content. There is also a food court at Market Price.
And after all, the most recent amusement in this area is USJ. The area to explore, including the surrounding hotels, is very extensive.
The attractions are all designed to stimulate the five senses and are reminiscent of the famous Universal movies, and can be enjoyed by everyone from couples to families.
The food is also very popular, with many of the stores and restaurants in the area being Americanized. The surrounding hotels and shopping amusements are also good, and the high level of satisfaction can be assured.
