What travellers are saying
- JlgBensheim, Germany214 contributionsA must see area in Osaka. Crazy, wild, loud, full of people shops, food stalls and restaurants as well as electronic billboards especially after dark.Written 20 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- uj1994North America240 contributionsWe had a great time. After 3 pm ticket is $15 cheaper. We knew we were not going to stay there for hours since we don't need to go on every rides so it worked out for us. If you buy this twilight ticket at their office go all the way to the right for entrance. It is busy just like any other amusement parks but atmosphere was nice and everybody was in the great mood so crowds didn't bother us at all. Popular rides had 90 min wait so we went on rides that didn't have long wait and walked around. People who work there were very nice and professional. I am not sure why some people expect them to speak English when you are clearly going to universal studios Japan? I would suggest to eat before or eat at universal walk before entrance. Train to this station was crowded even on weekday. If you want to go on every rides without paying extra or if you can't stand crowded place I would not recommend this amusement park. We had a wonderful time.Written 27 December 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- KYee CKuala Lumpur, Malaysia939 contributionsThis is one of the attraction in the Osaka bay area. Its in a 6 level building with the huge Pacific area display occupying the centre of the building from top level to ground floor. The main exhibit are 2 whale sharks.
Entry is based on time slot but the queue was not too long while we are there.
The displays are rather normal with that you can see in other aquarium.
Tempoza market place is situated next to it and there are plenty of dining options.
As we were there in December, it was windy and can get quite cold when the wind is strong.Written 18 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - Mark HThe Netherlands3 contributions
