    For traveling abroad, I highly recommend Ctrip. Booking tickets is very convenient, and you don't have to worry about language barriers. The interface is simple; you just show your documents. Booking Universal Studios Osaka this time was also very easy and convenient. Ctrip is really great!

    Aquarium is amazing and well maintained, my only problem were people who kept taping on glass and sticking their faces bothering fishes. There should be sign that glass should not be touched (especially for all grown up people who were doing it)

    There weren'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's not much from the Toyotomi Hideyoshi era. The extra stone museum ticket wasn'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—they managed to put together an exhibition of such a small amount of material.

    It's a bit far, so we chartered a car. There are speed passes available for purchase. But since I don't speak English or Japanese, I just had to wait in line. My private guide wasn't available today. We'll have the itinerary tomorrow. If you're not good at foreign languages, ❌ but have the money, find a private guide. Any recommendations?

    Worth a look if you like animals and are visiting nagiya. Enjoeyed the dolphin show and most of the exhibits. Food expensive as per theme parks, but plenty of other places to eat as you leave. Nice area right on the port, good place for a break from the city.
