What the guides say about Universal Studios Japan

Tennoji and Shinsekai suit travellers who want old Osaka, with Shitenno-ji, Tsutenkaku and kushikatsu counters nearby. Osaka Bay makes sense only if you're coming for Universal Studios Japan or the Osaka Aquarium Kaiyukan, because it's away from the rest of the city.

An aquarium, a Ferris wheel and a replica sailing ship

Osaka Bay is two areas that share a waterfront. Tempozan has the Kaiyukan aquarium, a Ferris wheel and a mall, and Universal Studios Japan sits further along the coast in Konohana Ward. It suits families and rainy days, and it's the one area where a full day is easy to fill.

Osaka Bay has 8 places on the Roam Osaka map: 3 landmarks, 1 museum, 1 shop, 1 viewpoint, 1 park or garden and 1 bar. Read the Osaka Bay guide.
