8 Children's Museums in Kinki That You Shouldn't Miss

January 14, 2022 Yuk Petri

The Kansai region (関西地方, Kansai-chihō) or the Kinki region (近畿地方, Kinki-chihō) lies in the southern-central region of Japan's main island Honshū. The region includes the prefectures of Mie, Nara, Wakayama, Kyoto, Osaka, Hyōgo and Shiga, sometimes Fukui, Tokushima and Tottori. While the use of the terms "Kansai" and "Kinki" have changed over history, in most modern contexts the use of the two terms is interchangeable. The urban region of Osaka, Kobe, and Kyoto (Keihanshin region) is the second-most populated in Japan after the Greater Tokyo Area.

Kids Plaza Osaka

Please note that even if you use the "Skip the Line: Kids Plaza Osaka Admission Ticket" sold by JTRweb limited, you cannot get priority entry. In order to redeem the ticket for an admission ticket, you must wait in line to buy the ticket. This is a very interesting children's museum and is the best way for travelers with children in Osaka. There are many educational and playful exhibits and activities for children. The Kids Town designed by Friedensreich Hundertwasser,an Austrian architect, is through the 4th floor and the 5th floor. In Japan, this is the only member of ACM, Association of Children's Museums.
