Pickup points and meeting tips
- Osakako Station on the Osaka Metro Chuo Line is about a 5–10 minute walk away.
- The Captain Line ferry connects Tempozan with Universal City Port, useful for groups splitting between the two.
- Agree on a pickup point near Tempozan Marketplace rather than at the aquarium entrance, where vehicles cannot wait.
Vehicle access
Tempozan has parking that accepts tour coaches, and all vehicle sizes are suitable. Traffic can build up when cruise ships call at the nearby terminal or during events.
Check available group vehicle parking and cruise traffic.
Luggage
Keep luggage in the vehicle; the aquarium does not store large group luggage. Strollers are commonly used inside.
