Preserved in the archive in 2009. Historical article; travel and business details may have changed.

Universal City Osaka district is located in Osaka Harbor. Universal City Osaka includes Universal Studios Japan, hotels and shopping centre. Universal City Osaka is located in the Konohana waterfront district of Osaka. The key attraction in Universal City is the theme park Universal Studios Japan. Universal City Osaka also has many large hotels, some bars and the Universal City Walk Osaka which features shops, cafes, bars and restaurants. Universal City Walk Osaka One of the interesting parts of the Universal City Walk Osaka is the Osaka Takoyaki Museum which like many of these commercial museums in Japan is more about the food and not so much about the museum. Despite this short coming, the Osaka Takoyaki Museum is a great way to try some of the various kinds of takoyaki found in the Kansai area. Osaka Takoyaki MuseumUniversal City Osaka Transport The easiest way to get to Universal City Osaka is via train. There is a branch line off the main JR Osaka Loop line and you stop at Universal City Station then follow crowds (signs). The train trip will take less than 15 minutes depending on where in Osaka you are and then about a 10 minute walk from the station. The station is actually closer than most of the car parking places!
