Things to do in Osaka

we had a great time. even though it was super hot but there was so much to do and see. if you love roller coasters, best to purchase the express pass so you can skip the long line which sometimes does take up an hour or even more.

İt was so great experience! Buying this express pass was really make our trip easy. İt was really comfortable! You can pass the famous rides easily you have to wait at least 15-25 minutes but it is really worth it! İf you will buy the express pass you will can ride the famous rides easily and then you will have time to spend!

I had planned to get here for sunset but never worked out. Even though it was wet it was a clear view of Osaka on the roof top. I got carried away so didn't get chance to eat a proper meal so was great could get a snack and a sakura ice cream, which was very delicious. To top it off got to wat whilst taking in the view. There is also a souvenir shop and if stamp collecting is part of your trip there is a stamp book in the shop

This was incredibly well-used. I rode the subway and bus to my heart's content while traveling for two days. In just one day, I used this pass to visit Osaka Castle, the Santa Maria Cruise, the Tempozan Ferris Wheel, and Tsutenkaku, and I was extremely satisfied. If you plan to sightsee intensely for a day, the 1-day pass should be sufficient. Also, although it's not included in this pass, I highly recommend visiting Harukas 300 at night. It's truly breathtaking. I also strongly recommend the Santa Maria Cruise. Make sure to stand at the very front of the boat. Oh, and I don't recommend Osaka Castle. Taking photos of the exterior is fine, but the interior is a museum filled with Japanese history and war stories. Since I didn't know much about it, it wasn't interesting, didn't catch my eye, and there wasn't much to see. My legs just ended up hurting a lot.

Abeno Harukas Observatory is a must-visit viewpoint in Osaka. Its impressive height offers a 360-degree panoramic view of the entire city, providing an incredibly open vista. On clear days, you can see for miles, and both daytime and nighttime views have their unique charm, with the night view being particularly stunning as the city lights create a spectacular sea of illumination. The observatory boasts a spacious layout with glass designs that ensure an unobstructed view, making it excellent for photography. It never feels cramped, allowing visitors to stroll and admire the scenery at their leisure. There's also a cafe and seating areas inside, where you can relax and enjoy the high-altitude views. Compared to other observatories, Harukas stands out for its height and superior comfort. Crowd control is also managed quite well, contributing to a very pleasant overall experience. While the ticket price might not be the cheapest, it is definitely worth it. Overall, it's a highly recommended attraction. If you want to see the most beautiful panoramic views of Osaka, this place will certainly not disappoint!

This is well worth it. Beleive me it was a hot day and last thing is having to line up and wait in a massive Queue. This place gets packed. Great thing if u book/make a reservation you skip these lines. It was a great experience they even had spray machines for you on way up to cool yourself down. They also have souvenir shops inside the castle to buy memorabilia. Its quite a massive space to explore and you get a good glimpse of history and the area is just magnificent to be in. You can also pay for boat trip down the river & other excursions. Wonderful experience.

The ferris wheel is a really fun way to take in city views! Located inside the Hep Five building on the 7th floor. We visited as a couple, usually its x4 people to a capsule but as it wasn't super busy they let us in as a pair in our own capsule which was nice!

This is a very worthwhile pass. I bought it during a 50% off promotion. You can choose 3 attractions to visit, or shopping/restaurant discount coupons. I used mine for 1 attraction and 2 shopping discount coupons. The total regular price of these three items was more than double the cost of the pass I purchased. It's also very convenient to use; just scan the QR code to enter the attractions, no need to queue up again to exchange for tickets.

This is the iconic tower in Osaka. It is pretty nostalgic when taking the lifts to go up and down the tower. The view is super nice on top. The outdoor top level is free to enter as well. One can enter directly with the Klook QR code but must adhere to the timing of the booking. It’s recommended to choose the early morning time slots to avoid crowd.
