Reviews
it was a fast and smooth ride. less than 10 minutes from USJ port to aquarium port. We wanted to see the view so we sat on the top although it was cold we loved the scenery
It is very convenient to go to the aquarium by boat, and the staff's instructions are very clear. It is worth a visit for families with children!
Reasonable price and ease of buying a ticket on Klook is second to none! Just be aware when you buy your confirmation QR code has to be taken into the ticket office booth for them to scan to give you a physical ticket. The agents are really sweet and helpful, they'll direct you where you need to go even if there's a bit of a language barrier. It was a fast and smooth sailing from USJ to the aquarium! Best way to get to there, even if you get off at the Universal City station and walk over to the ferry station just outside Hotel Universal Port.
The ferry to go from Osaka Aquarium Kaiyukan to Universal Studios Japan is a good way to discover Osaka by boat in the Bay of Osaka. The trip lasts roughly ten minutes. There is a deck at the top of the boat to feel the breeze from the sea and to benefit from the view. I recommend that travel experience.
great experience. got on without any issues, no wait, just make sure you check on when the ferry is running so you make it on time!
great way to see Osaka and needless to say very convenient to commute between universal studio and the aquarium/legoland/tempozan area!
Very convenient compared to riding subways or trains if youre coming from Osakako Station to Universal Studios
I think this is the fastest and most convenient way to get to Kaiyukan! It was easy to book in advance through Klook. It seems to operate every hour at 15 and 45 minutes past the hour.
10 minutes ride from universal city area to Osaka aquarium. Much faster and convenient than the train.
quick trip but it’s shortened our travel time. The breeze was amazing enroute. and the staff were very polite
