Osaka

Only one night, was spent in Osaka. Our visit consisted of the famous Osaka Aquarium, Osaka Castle, and a memorable night with our CouchSurfing host. 


The design of the Osaka Aquarium was most impressive. The tour went along the Ring of Fire, a chain of trenches, volcanic chains, and volcanic arcs around the pacific basin. The design of the aquarium is a large pacific tank in the center, with a path that spirals around the tank from top to bottom. On the spiral you visit visits in an arc around the Ring of Fire, and see each tank repeatedly from different heights as you descend deeper in the spiral.
