One of the largest aquariums in the world, featuring a wide variety of marine life.
Address
1 Chome-1-10 Kaigandori, Minato Ward, Osaka, 552-0022, Japan
What I like about it
I could live in this place. As you can visit at night it was so calm and quiet. Watching the whale sharks swim by was a surreal experience. The aquarium is so big and there is so much to see even collect all the cute stamps for your book!
Hōrinji Temple
A serene Buddhist temple located in the mountains of Kyoto, known for its beautiful gardens and peaceful atmosphere.

What I like about it
Such a surreal experience. The temple and its gardens are covered with duruma dolls, which were fun to spot and made for such incredible photos. The temple is located in the mountains so it was so peaceful and quiet, it felt like we were the only ones there.
Dotonbori district
A lively entertainment district in Osaka, famous for its vibrant nightlife, delicious street food, and iconic neon signs.

What I like about it
Absolutely loved all the neon signs, the takoyaki was the main reason to get me there but the food was so good and there was so much to choose from. It was so lively and fun, I could have stayed there all night. Oh and don't forget the shopping at Don Quijote!
