Things to do in Osaka

one of my travel dreams came true. for the period i was going. January the time slot for Nintendo world was not necessary it was not to busy and even the rides doable with the top waiting time 70 minutes. I loved the park felt like a kid again, definitely worth your time and money. once in a lifetime experience

The Osaka Amazing Pass was one of the best decisions for my Osaka trip! We visited over eight attractions in one day — from Osaka Castle to Umeda Sky Building and even a river cruise — all included with the pass. Unlimited metro and bus rides made getting around super smooth, and I saved a lot compared to buying separate tickets. Easy to use and truly worth it for sightseeing!

Buying the Express Pass is really much more convenient. On Friday, January 30th, we went to Universal Studios, and for Mario Kart, Forbidden Journey, and Minion Mayhem, there was almost no waiting; we could just go straight in and play. Only Donkey Kong still required a 20-30 minute wait, but that was already very smooth. I'm really glad we bought the Express Pass. On that day, you didn't need to get a ticket to enter the Mario area; you could enter and exit freely all day. After 3 pm, there were no lines at the restaurants in the evening, and the Power-Up Band challenges were also very smooth with almost no waiting. Around 7 pm, maybe because it was cold, there were very few people, and there were no lines for Mario Kart or Yoshi, so we could play again. The Minion area was also walk-on. In the morning, while everyone was in the Mario area, we played Flight of the Hippogriff and Jaws, and watched the WaterWorld show. The Minion street games are worth trying; we each succeeded once and got two large plush toys! Because we bought the Express Pass, the kids got to play what they wanted, saving us queuing time, and we even had extra time to eat and rest at Toadstool Cafe. We'll definitely buy it again next time!

Visited around 5:30 PM on Friday, January 26, 2016. Follow the blue (sky blue) guide line on the floor to enter the building, go up to the 16th floor, and then follow the observatory guide line to find the desk. Show the QR code that you reserved, exchange it for a physical admission ticket (1 ticket per person), and enter without waiting!! Arrived at the observatory... The night view spread out before my eyes was "Amazing...amazing," words that came out unconsciously. No matter where you look at 360 degrees, all the lights are under my feet and my gaze~ If you want to see an unobstructed night view, I highly recommend Harukas 300!!!

Great views and very nice building. Don’t forget about the art museum. The art museum feels more exclusive than the observatory view, and at the end of the museum there is a cafe which has very nice seats and good place to reflect.

fast. a little more expensive than line up. about $2 more but you skip the line. I suggest you get the osaka sightseeing pass, it will include a lot more+discount of transfer bus and trains in Osaka castle area.

Osaka Aquarium Kaiyukan - Osaka Bay Area There are a lot of people queuing to buy tickets on-site, so it's best to buy tickets online in advance. However, you must enter within the specified time; you cannot enter early. (Online ticket purchases seem to start from 15:00 at the earliest.) It's a relatively family-friendly marine aquarium. Water Gate - First, you pass through a circular vaulted tunnel to greet the large aquarium creatures. Then, you enter the aquarium according to geographical and ecological zones. Main Tank Area: Consists of forests, rainforests, land, islands, rivers/bays, trenches, straits, oceans, etc., allowing you to appreciate various marine animals from multiple angles, from the surface down, from shallow to deep water layers, such as sea lions, penguin colonies, and various colorful fish. Continue downwards along the tank to explore other marine creatures: dolphins, manta rays, whale sharks, sunfish, sea turtles. Special Exhibition Tank - The special tank on the other side features different cuttlefish and octopuses. Jellyfish Galaxy - Jellyfish Exhibition Area: Exhibits different types of jellyfish. Arctic Zone - Exhibits polar cold-water creatures, fish, and you can even encounter angel fish that you've seen in Hokkaido before. Special Themed Exhibition (Naturally Adorable) - A very interactive area suitable for children, including clownfish, golden garden eels, and red shrimp. Little Penguin Zone - The last exhibition area, with glass fences for separation, it's rare to see so many little penguins indoors. Gift Shop - Located next to the penguin area, where you can buy some ornaments, clothing, and souvenirs. Since the Osaka Bay area has shopping malls and the Kaiyukan, you can also combine it with the "Osaka Amazing Pass" according to your preferences to participate in free activities such as the Santa Maria sightseeing ship, Tempozan Ferris Wheel, and Classic Car Museum.

An excellent experience that you shouldn’t miss in Osaka. We opted for the private bath to enjoy privacy, and it was absolutely worth it. The facilities were clean and relaxing, the atmosphere was beautiful, and the entire place was very Instagram-worthy. The food from the izakaya meal set was also delicious and well presented. Overall, it was a perfect way to unwind after a full day of exploring. ease of booking on Klook: service:great price:ok service:excellent price:fair facilities:great experience:suoerb

During our trip to Kansai, we used the "Kansai Enjoy Pass 1 Week Free Pass" and were very satisfied with the overall experience. We highly recommend it to first-time visitors to Osaka, Kyoto, and Kobe. Highlights: • We felt relaxed from the moment we arrived at the airport: The included HARUKA Kansai Airport Express train ticket (from Kansai International Airport to Osaka city) saved us the hassle of worrying about transportation from the airport to the city. • The pass covers over 200 popular facilities and restaurants in Osaka, Kyoto, and Kobe, giving us more flexibility in planning our attractions, transportation, shopping, and dining. • Easy to use: Simply show the QR code or voucher to redeem, very convenient. • Overall, the pass integrates transportation + attractions + discounts, which saved us a lot of money and planning time.
