Creator's Key Takeaways

the aquarium behind us is well worth a visit

it's a fantastic place if you're going to go in there give yourself a good couple of hours because it is amazing

we can hardly recommend one of the good things about eating in here prices are actually quite reasonable

certainly Namba is the easiest area to get to there's lots to see there's plenty of temples there's shopping luxury goods and you know what and plenty of food
