Dotonbori shopping street
Dotonbori is a famous tourist destination that is lined with huge three-dimensional billboards and is often featured on TV and in magazines.
Not only can you enjoy gourmet foods unique to Osaka such as Konamon and Kushikatsu, but you can also enjoy strolling while looking up at neon signs, or take a sightseeing cruise along the river with live jazz music and a rakugo storyteller to guide you through the story. It's also fun to enjoy it. Please enjoy the bustling city of Osaka Expo!
Tsutenkaku
Tsutenkaku is built in the downtown area called Shinsekai, where you can enjoy gourmet food while sightseeing.
Enjoy the view and night view from the observation deck, eat a parfait inspired by Tsutenkaku, experience the thrills on the see-through floor of the pop-up observation deck, and scream with excitement on the 60m long experiential tower slide. It is a symbol of the downtown area that you can see and enjoy.
Osaka Castle
Osaka Castle was built by Toyotomi Hideyoshi in 1583, and has been at the mercy of history, including being burnt down during wars and air raids, and has undergone numerous losses and restorations. It houses a wealth of cultural assets related to the history of Osaka Castle, which are displayed at any time in the exhibition room to convey the history of prosperity and turmoil of the people of Japan.
The ``recovery castle tower'' as a museum still stands today. The entire area of Osaka Castle Park is designated as a special national historic site, and most of the old buildings are designated as important cultural properties.

``Kaiyukan'' is an 8-story building that walks from the top to the bottom, along with the flow of water in the natural world, and the natural environment centered on the vast ``Pacific Ocean''. I realized that we are all living organisms that interact with each other.
Aqua Gate, which is like a transparent undersea tunnel, Kaigetsu Galaxy, and in the Arctic area, there are rare hands-on exhibits where you can meet ringed seals up close, and the aquarium has fun exhibits that make use of its vertical structure, such as dolphins, penguins, whale sharks, and sunfish. .
