Lunch: Inside park with app plan, or Tempozan/Kuromon for relaxed option.

Door to door sequence
- USJ: hotel → Nishikujo → JR Yumesaki Line to Universal City; exact start depends on hotel.
- Aquarium: Osaka Metro Chuo Line to Osakako.
- Platform: Confirm on station display and official app on travel day.
Taxi fallback: Taxi from a major interchange if exhausted; USJ pickup can be crowded.
Return to hotel: Leave the attraction with a conservative buffer; use live route to hotel and do not rely on the final train.

We’re tired
