Osaka Museum of History will hold a special exhibition "Excavation! Daimyo's Storehouses - Rice, Goods, and People Gathered in the 'Kitchen of the Nation'" in the Special Exhibition Room on the 6th floor from Saturday, January 11, 2025 to Monday, March 3, 2025.
During the Edo period, Osaka flourished as the nation's kitchen. Many feudal domains built storehouses in and around Nakanoshima to sell rice tax and local specialties. The number of storehouses reached over 120 during the Tenpo era (around 1840). This exhibition will portray the actual state of the storehouses, which supported the finances of feudal domains throughout Japan and were the driving force behind the development of Osaka, including the birth of the Dojima Rice Market, while also introducing drawings and ancient documents, focusing on the results of the latest excavation surveys.
In recent years, many storehouses have been surveyed in and around Nakanoshima, revealing a variety of storehouse styles, from those equipped with a shipyard, storehouse, and palace, such as those in Saga, Hiroshima, and Takamatsu domains, to those in Akita's Yajima domain, which had no shipyard and only had a storehouse covering the entire site. Based on excavated wooden tablets, shells, ceramics, etc., it is now possible to depict the work, lifestyle, and interactions within the residences.
By taking a bird's-eye view of these storehouses from their birth to their demise, we hope to provide an opportunity to widely publicize the important role and importance that Osaka played in early modern Japanese society. We will shed new light on the Osaka storehouses, a historical heritage that represents the city of Osaka, along with Naniwa Palace and Osaka Castle.

The general tour from the 10th floor to the 6th floor costs 600 yen. The construction history of Osaka Castle began in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. It was greatly influenced by ancient China. The maids&#39; dress, etiquette, and specifications make people feel as if they have traveled back to the ancient Tang Dynasty of China. When you go to a city, you must visit the city&#39;s museum

Awesome experience!! So many aquatic animals plus the great barrier reef was so beautiful 😍. The Osaka Aquarium Kaiyukan is widely considered one of the best aquariums in the world and a highlight of a visit to Osaka. Visitors often describe it as an exceptional experience due to its massive scale, innovative design, and breathtaking main exhibit. The overall vibe is highly immersive, taking you on a journey through the &quot;Ring of Fire&quot; marine habitats of the Pacific Rim.​The most praised aspect of the aquarium is its architecture and the sheer size of its central tank, which provides a unique and memorable viewing experience.

There weren&#39;t many highlights. It was a reconstruction of an old building, which explains why there were so many modern architectural details. There was a lot of explanatory material, but not many original artifacts; it seems that apart from the foundation, there&#39;s not much from the Toyotomi Hideyoshi era.

The extra stone museum ticket wasn&#39;t really worth it. You just go in, look at the pile of stones from the foundation, and then leave. The Japanese are really something&mdash;they managed to put together an exhibition of such a small amount of material.

I had a lot of fun. I bought the triple pack where you can &quot;dive and walk,&quot; slide, and go to the observation tower.I wanted to do it in that order, but due to the language barrier and not clear directions on where to go I slid first, then observation tower, and I did &quot;dive and walk last.&quot; If you want to dive and walk first then you need to bring your QR code to an office which is about 1 min from the tower. In that office you change into your harness and helmet (and that&#39;s where you bring it back too). I loved the experience and the tower, I just would have liked to have done &quot;dive and walk&quot; first. Regardless, I had fun and recommend it.

Near Tennoji in Osaka, you can enjoy a 360-degree panoramic view of Osaka&#39;s night scene from 300 meters high. You can see the sunset around 5 pm. Afterwards, go to the garden on the 16th floor of the building. The building is a complex that integrates restaurants and shopping malls and is worth checking out.
