    Background: A family trip, including elders and young people, all of whom knew Harry Potter but weren't magic fans. Review: The young people had a blast; the interactive activities were fun, there were tons of photo spots, and there was even a sharing of the film's production process, giving you a comprehensive understanding and immersion in the magical world – definitely worth a visit. As for the elders, they mainly toured the scenes and took photos, skipping all the interactive activities. Thankfully, there were enough seats for them to rest, and the facilities were fairly elder-friendly.

    Awesome experience!! So many aquatic animals plus the great barrier reef was so beautiful 😍. The Osaka Aquarium Kaiyukan is widely considered one of the best aquariums in the world and a highlight of a visit to Osaka. Visitors often describe it as an exceptional experience due to its massive scale, innovative design, and breathtaking main exhibit. The overall vibe is highly immersive, taking you on a journey through the "Ring of Fire" marine habitats of the Pacific Rim.​The most praised aspect of the aquarium is its architecture and the sheer size of its central tank, which provides a unique and memorable viewing experience.

    There is a large park surrounding the castle, perfect for a pleasant walk. The castle is a popular tourist destination, so it’s best to plan your visit in advance, as there are often long queues. Unfortunately, the interior has not preserved its historical appearance and now resembles an office building from the late 1990s. Inside, there are small exhibitions, but photography is not allowed. From the castle roof, you can enjoy a picturesque view of the city and the park below.

    I consider it as one of the best aquariums in the world. It has wide range of marine life in well-maintained exhibits. Everything looks in order. For me, the feeding of whale sharks and sight of manta rays, are the highlights, giving me and the boys one of the best immersive experience. The boys enjoy the dolphin show, recording it all down to enjoy it over again. The park around the aquarium has scenic views too. Overall it’s a pleasant experience.

    Shiroi Koibito Park is truly a snow fantasy destination, especially in winter. The entire park feels like a magical winter wonderland, with snow-covered buildings and charming European-style architecture that makes every corner photo-worthy. Walking through the park during winter feels like stepping into a fairy tale.Beyond the beautiful scenery, the park offers a delightful experience for visitors of all ages. The chocolate-themed attractions are fun and engaging, and the sweet aroma in the air adds to the cozy winter atmosphere.One of the highlights is the wide variety of souvenirs available. From the iconic Shiroi Koibito cookies to exclusive chocolates, sweets, and beautifully designed gift items, there are plenty of lovely souvenirs to bring home for family and friends. The packaging itself is elegant and perfect for gifting.Overall, Shiroi Koibito Park is a must-visit winter attraction—romantic, festive, and memorable.

    Near the subway station, there's a locker inside that refunds your money after use. The lockers outside charge a fee unless you have large luggage. Take off your shoes, go in, get a wristband, choose a yukata (light cotton robe) to change into, and then you can play. There are gashapon (capsule toy) machines inside. If you're not particularly hungry, I suggest eating outside; there are several restaurants nearby. Eating inside is a bit more expensive and has fewer choices. When you leave, use your wristband to pay.
