[2025 Osaka Attraction] Travel Guide for Osakako Station (Updated Apr)

The boarding location of #Sightseeing Boat Santamaria is actually behind the Kaiyukan. We bought the Tourist & Tempozan Daikan train ticket (JPY 2100), and we can queue directly to get on the boat without a physical ticket. ⛵️The Santa Maria, a sailing-type sightseeing ship, is based on the ship used by Columbus when he discovered the American continent. It was a pity that the sails were not lowered that day, but it was luxurious enough and made people look forward to it! You can basically visit many places in the ship, including the front deck, aft deck, cabin, etc. ⚓️The boat ride takes about 45 minutes, enough time to visit both the inside and outside. In addition to enjoying the scenery, don’t miss visiting the inside of the ship, where there are also some exhibits! Walking up the stairs to the guest room "Sala de Colon", there are also displays related to the Age of Discovery and ships. 🍦 The space inside the boat is very spacious. If you finish visiting, you can also go to the restaurant to buy drinks and light meals. We bought a cup of Gelato Black Vanilla (JPY 350), which tastes good with black vanilla. After disembarking, we rested at the dock for a while and watched the Santa Maria sail away and the sunset. It really has a different artistic conception! . . Santamaria 📍Address: 1-10 Kaigandori 1-chome, Minato-ku, Osaka-shi, Osaka Prefecture ⏰Business hours: 12:00 - 16:00 #Overseas travel #Japanese attractions

A shrine dedicated to Sugawara no Michizane, the god of learning. A short walk from Minamimorimachi along Tenjinbashisuji Shopping Street. I happened to pass by and was happy to be able to stop by this famous plum blossom spot during the season. There was a line to offer coins, but a staff member said, "You don't have to line up. You can also line up from the side." During the COVID-19 pandemic, people were keeping their distance from others and lining up well, but it was so relaxed that I couldn't help but laugh. You wouldn't normally skip your turn in front of a god, would you? With one word from the staff member, the line cleared in an instant. It's not good for a lot of people to line up during the COVID-19 pandemic, after all. #accommodationreview #accommodationreview #spectacularview #gourmet #Halloween #autumntrip #accommodationreview #gourmetfood #westjapan

#Osaka Itinerary As you step onto Osaka Port, you are greeted by a fresh sea breeze mixed with a hint of saltiness, like a murmuring song of the sea. The port is quiet and vast. The azure blue sea reflects the clouds in the sky. Seagulls are circling leisurely in the Osaka Port in the distance, adding a bit of agility to this world. Walking beside the Tempozan Ferris Wheel, the huge disc slowly rotates in the sun, like a scale of time, recording the past and future of this city. I boarded the Ferris wheel and looked down at the entire port. Cargo ships and cruise ships at the dock shuttled back and forth in an orderly manner. The Tempozan Bridge in the distance was like a silver ribbon connecting the sea and the sky. At that moment, the hustle and bustle of the city seemed to dissipate with the waves, and the soul was filled with a boundless tranquility. When night falls, the port is lit up with lights, complementing the starry sky. I sat quietly on the shore, feeling the sea breeze caressing my face, my thoughts drifting far away. Osaka Port is not only a busy trade hub, but also a safe haven for the soul. A single stop there will leave you with endless aftertastes.

#Osaka Itinerary The moment I stepped onto the Aqua Liner water bus, my heart was filled with anticipation and excitement. This is not just a sightseeing trip, but an adventure of the soul. The ship departed from Osaka Castle Port and moved slowly along the waterway. The beautiful scenery in front of me kept changing, which amazed me! 🌸 As the boat moved forward, I saw the magnificent Osaka Castle tower glittering in the sun, as if going back in time, reminding me of that ancient history. The retro buildings of Nakanoshima and Kitahama along the way all exude a strong cultural atmosphere. Every scenic spot shocked me deeply. I couldn’t help but feel moved and even shed tears. 💖 The environment on the boat was comfortable and the cool air-conditioning made me feel relaxed.

2024/12 For transportation from Kansai Airport to Kobe, choose the sea high-speed ferry, which is the fastest and cheapest option to Kobe, with a special price of 500 yen one way. But for someone like me who gets seasick, I'd rather not experience it a second time, because I'll vomit so much that I can't stand it. Dizzy 😵💫

#Osaka Attractions Osaka Port enjoys the beautiful view of the blue waves of Osaka Bay and is a family-friendly tourist destination that integrates an aquarium, Ferris wheel, sightseeing boats and shopping mall. The Tempozan Ferris Wheel has a diameter of 100 meters, which is rare in Japan. It takes about 15 minutes to rotate once. The 8 fully transparent cabins allow you to enjoy the beautiful scenery. As the largest aquarium in Kansai, Kaiyukan is a popular aquarium for couples and families alike. The magnificent eight-story building houses world-class exhibitions.

#Seaview🏖️Environment/Facilities: Santa Maria, Captain, etc.📍Address: Osaka Port Osaka Port is one of the important tourist attractions in Osaka City, integrating history, culture and modern entertainment. First of all, KAIYUKAN is a must-visit place. It is one of the largest aquariums in the world, displaying more than 580 species of marine life, especially the huge whale shark and various colorful fish, which leave a deep impression. In addition to the Aquarium KAIYUKAN, Osaka Port also has the Tempozan Ferris Wheel, a landmark building that is 112.5 meters high. Riding the Ferris wheel, you can overlook the magnificent scenery of the entire Osaka city and Osaka Bay, especially the brilliant lights at night, which will make you linger. The nearby Osaka Port Tempozan Market is also a food paradise not to be missed. It brings together a variety of fresh seafood and authentic Japanese food.

Finally, why not take a cruise to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Osaka Port and experience another unique city style.

Osaka Port, where Lembongan docks, is a perfect location! I really don’t want too many people to know about this hidden route. You all know what it’s like when there are a lot of people on board. The boat stops opposite USJ. There is a free Tempozan ferry to the other side. You can take one subway stop or walk for 15 minutes. I think 🚶 is more convenient because you can go directly to the main entrance without crossing the pedestrian street. 1.5-day ticket is perfect for the trip if you match the arrival time in Hong Kong. The port is an 8-minute walk from Osaka Port subway station, 30 minutes to Abeno, 25 minutes to Shinsaibashi, and 25 minutes to Namba. This location is amazing! Note that the ferry and subway go in two directions. There are Kaiyukan and Tempozan Park at the entrance of the pier, which is enough for those who don’t want to take the car. #Osaka #OsakaHotel #OsakaTravel
