We were all set up to embark on
our next journey to the ever famous Kaiyukan Aquarium. Located at sub-urb part
of Osaka, it’s one of the world’s largest indoor tank with wide collection of
deep-sea fishes and marine life ranging from sharks, penguin, dolphin, string
ray and some exotic looking organism.
Our breakaway trip from the usual
touristy spot costs us around 2,300 yen which is 5x the price for entrance to
temple. However, it was all worthwhile to enjoy a quintessentially spectacular
marine life. Here are some of the photos along our way!
We murmured with excitement upon
seeing so many different species of underwater wildlifes!
‵(*>﹏<*)′
The
full-glass tank features exotic species of sharks, whale and dramatic
collection of other large and small fishes. We can sit whole day here to watch
the descending spiral forms around them. It’s as if their natural
correspondence to each other especially the shark which has the prowess to
attract attention with its austere look and steady manoeuvre.
We enjoyed clicking away prior to
entering the castle especially the scenic park which is adjacent to the castle.
The castle was surrounded by huge stones and gates while the entrance and tip
of the castle were covered in scaffoldings and nets.
Perched up to 8-storey tower, each
of the floor displays armour, weapon, traditional costume and historical
documents. Some of the expensive replicas include a Golden crouching tiger,
dolphin-shaped-fish and a whale. We were particularly impressed with the
immersive 3D puppet show which was broadcast through crystal-glass enclosed display
and the figurines which brought the Summer war scene to life.
Outside the castle, there were
many push carts which sell light snacks such as takoyaki, sweet potatoes,
crepes and ice-cream. This time round I decided to go for a double-flavoured
ice-cream instead of the matcha ones. Don’t judge me for having ice-cream at
cold temperature! It’s sassy but cool, ohyeah <{=••••• Meanwhile, hubby was
having fun with the dart game, too bad, he only received the Ninja dart as
complimentary gift.
As night falls, we headed to the nearest
shopping mall which features Dalloyau, a premium food store selling wide assortments
of pastries and macaroons. We opted for “Xiao Long Pau” instead hehehe We
looked for a nearby restaurant serving delightful Japanese skewed food. We
truly enjoyed our fine gourmet that night which foots up to 4,000+ yen/pax despite
the miniscule size *@o@*
