Creator's Key Takeaways

the main thing is the the main tank pretty much goes from the top floor to the ground floor and it contains two whale sharks

if you're looking for somewhere to go for okonomi Yaki this is place we can hardly recommend

having just got off a ship to get back on a ship you might not want to do that

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

✓Get a Suica card (digital for iPhone) for easy subway travel
✓Take the train from Platform One to Hommachi, then transfer to the Midosuji line
✓Visit Namba for temples, shopping, and food
