Family tour in Osaka, three days of fun, the editor recommends three attractions: ①Osaka Children's Park (Osaka's kidsplaza); ②Osaka Aquarium (Osaka's Aquarium); ③Osaka Universal Cinema. DAY1

In terms of transportation, you can buy the Osaka Amazing Pass, because this card is very cost-effective in terms of transportation. In addition, there will be some discounts when going to Kaiyukan, and many attractions are free. But if you are going to Osaka not to see those attractions, but to visit specific destinations, then there is no need to purchase it.

Because there is not much time on the first day, the editor recommends going to Osaka Children’s Park first. The address is: 2-1-7 Ogimachi, Kita-ku, Osaka City

The main attractions of Osaka Children’s Park It is a large-scale children's paradise integrating scientific exploration, music perception and professional experience. You can take the JR Loop Line and get off at Tenma Station, or take the Subway Suji Line and get off at Ogimachi Station, which is right from Exit 2.

The design of this amusement park is very careful. There are five floors at the beginning of the park, and only 3-5 floors after playing. The fifth level is mainly for scientific and natural exploration and cultural and social experience. One of the more recommended things to do here is that many experiences require adults and children to play together, which is highly interactive. For example, there is a soap bubble experience area here, which is the kind that everyone often sees surrounded by huge soap bubbles; children should also like the soap bubble curtain wall, where they can see soap bubbles rising and bursting in front of their eyes; The music experience area is also very good, where there are Yueqi from all over the world for children to play; there are also some natural exploration areas that are also very good, allowing children to understand human structures.

The fourth floor of the park is a professional experience area, where children can experience many professions such as workers, police officers, doctors, supermarket cashiers, etc. There are also many good work clothes.

The third floor of the park is a somatosensory game area, as well as a hand-making classroom. Hand-making is more fun for older children. Most of the staff in the park are elderly and have a kind and friendly attitude. , is also very patient.

Finally, let’s talk about the biggest attraction here, which is the castle designed by the Austrian artist Hundertwasser. This castle is also very unique in shape and rich in color, linking the third and fourth floors. Children will probably like it here, and they may be worried that they won’t have enough fun. DAY2

On the second day, you can choose to go to Osaka Aquarium or Osaka Universal Studios. These two places are not very far away. You can see Universal Studios outside Aquarium, but There is a port between the two. The editor will come back later to talk about transportation information with you. It is recommended to leave enough time to visit Universal Studios. You can take the JR Osaka Loop Line (in the direction of Sakurajima) and get to Universal City after five stops. This is a way without changing. You can also take the bus to Nishi-Kyujo first, and then transfer to the bus bound for Sakurajima to reach Universal City.

If you are traveling with children, there are two recommended routes. The first one is suitable for children over three years old. It mainly visits the Universal Wonderland area and the Minion Paradise area. The decorations inside They are all beautiful. People with a height of 92cm or above can play most of the events in these two areas, which is suitable for children.

The second one is suitable for primary school students over six years old. Some of the projects here are more challenging. The main areas to visit are New York, Jurassic Park and the Magic of Harry Potter. world zone. However, there are many activities here that have height restrictions. Basically, you need to be above 122cm to ride alone, so everyone must pay attention to the height limit when going to play.

Some of the more recommended projects are: Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey (height above 122cm), Flying Dragon (roller coaster, height above 132cm), Spider-Man's Horrifying Adventures - Car Tour

4K3D (This is highly recommended, height is above 122cm, height can be above 102cm when accompanied), Hollywood Dream Ride - Reversal of the World (height is above 132cm.)

Because of the Universal Studios There may be a lot of people, so you can reduce the queue time in some ways, such as purchasing Universal Studios fast pass tickets. The fast pass tickets are divided into 7 items and 4 items. The decibels are matched with popular items that cannot be passed. You can buy suitable fast-pass tickets according to your preferences. Remember to buy this in advance, otherwise you may not have it when you go to play. For lunch, you can eat at the Happy Restaurant (Minion Paradise). The food inside is very cute and children may like it. DAY3

On the last day, prepare to go to Osaka Aquarium. First take the subway and get off at Osaka Port Station. There will be signs on the road. The first thing you see is the Temposan Ferris Wheel, and below it is Aquarium. Floor plan of the Kaiyukan area.

The sightseeing boats are closed in winter. After entering the aquarium, you can rent a tour guide at the front desk. All the creatures inside are explained in Chinese. The rental fee is 1,000 yen. You need to register your Japanese address and phone number. Before going in to play, you can go see the marine animal feeding. The schedule is as follows:

The biggest selling point of the aquarium is that there is a giant water tank three or four stories high. When you walk there, you can circle around it. , you can see a variety of marine life here, as well as the treasure of the museum, the "whale shark". The glass here is very clean and the photos are not bad.

You can see baby seals and penguins at the exit. These are without glass, but you are not allowed to touch them with your hands. However, there is a large pool where you can touch the animals at will, including rays and so on. . After you finish watching Kaiyukan, you can take a ride on the Ferris wheel. The Ferris wheel has fully transparent carriages and ordinary ones, and it will be over in about ten minutes. You can also go to the Legoland Discovery Center to continue playing. These are all near the Kaiyukan, so you can go there if you have more time.

All the above activities require tickets, so remember to buy tickets in advance when you go to play.

In addition to the above attractions, there is also the Tennoji Zoo, where you can take your children to see wombats, raccoons, elephants and the only kiwi in Japan, or the Osaka Municipal Science Museum and SPAWORLD

Go to places such as Shiba Hot Spring World, Bigbang Osaka Prefectural Children's Center, etc. Children will like these places more. Accommodation

For accommodation, you can choose to live in a hotel or a B&B. The price of the hotel may be higher, and the price of the B&B will be lower.

If you want to visit scenic spots, it is recommended to stay in the Namba and Nihonbashi areas, that is, the Kuromon Market area. It is a 10-minute walk from Shinsaibashi, the central business district, and is in the center of many scenic spots. area, and it is also very convenient to take the subway.

If you want to visit the attractions introduced by the editor above, it is recommended that you stay in the Kaiyukan area. It is very close to the movie theater, Kaiyukan and LEGO MINILAND. These are basically all you need. After playing for two days, you can enter and exit Universal Studios multiple times with tickets. When the children are tired from playing, they can go back to sleep at noon. It's really convenient to take the subway here.

Or you can go to a hotel with convenient transportation. We recommend the Osaka Marriott Miyako Hotel. This hotel is located above Tennoji Subway Station. The transportation is relatively convenient. There is an elevator directly from Tennoji Subway Station to the hotel lobby. The hotel lobby is on the 19th floor, and the guest rooms are on the 38th to 57th floors. The 60th floor is a 360° Observation deck, you will be given a ticket to the observation deck when you check in at the hotel. Downstairs of the hotel is a Kintetsu department store with complete items, but there is no Chinese reception here, which is not very convenient.

Everyone should pay attention to one issue when booking a hotel, that is, many hotels will state that they do not accept children, or there are restrictions on the age of children. These are set by the hotels themselves, and some are 4 Years old, some are 6 years old, some are 12 years old. However, most hotels in Osaka are international chains, so they are not so demanding, but you must pay attention when booking accommodation.

If you want to experience the Japanese style in a Japanese-style hotel, I have to tell you that it is difficult to find one that accepts check-in, and even if you find one, you will be charged extra. Hotels in Japan are generally on the small side. The so-called double bed rooms are actually only 130-140cm wide, and those with a width of 150cm are called "extra large beds." Catering

One thing you need to pay attention to when going to Japan during the Spring Festival is that there are a lot of raw and cold foods in Japan. You will drink ice water wherever you go in winter. Also, most restaurants in Japan only sell a single type of food, such as sushi. The store only has sushi, and the ramen store only has ramen. Convenience stores are okay, but many convenience stores do not allow eating and drinking in the store.

You can eat in the park when you are playing in the park. Some popular restaurants in Osaka have long waits, and children may not be able to endure hunger.
