Things to do in Tsurumi Ryokuchi Park

Mr. Yang was awesome. As a solo traveler, I felt safe and guided with his instructions. Arashiyama was a bit confusing at first, he assisted by walking me to the entrance and during lunch time recommended some spots. We communicated via goggle translate without a problem. If you are short on time and what to discover some landmarks at once -10/10 recommend, hassle free and way to take advantage of a full day schedule at your pace by beating the crowds.

We had a great time in Himeji and Kobe! The atmosphere was so peaceful… slow, calm, and serene. Mr. Cao is a great driver! He is very approachable, friendly, and organized, which made the whole trip even more enjoyable. Overall, it was a wonderful experience! ✨

Beautiful experience to have a real view of most of the city. The skip the lines is REALLY worthwhile. I scheduled my experience so I could enjoy daylight. sunset and night. both were unique. Don’t forget that there is an open overhead floor after the one the main elevator takes you. beautiful too. Oh and the skip the line also wotks on the way down.

On the last day, we had breakfast in Dotonbori, came back to our accommodation, checked out early, took a taxi for a little over 10 minutes, arrived, and played for four hours. We spent the longest time in the bubble experience zone. The structures were unique, and there were many experiences we couldn't have in our country, which made it fascinating and fun. The elderly staff members were all kind, demonstrating things with their bodies and trying to explain them. We ended up playing longer than expected. We had already eaten, so for snacks, we had cookies and bread from our suitcase, and we also got milk from the Anpanman milk vending machine. Many Japanese people brought their own lunchboxes, and there were tables for eating outside food, which was convenient and nice. The large outdoor slide was made entirely of metal, so I was worried my child would get burned. We went up to the net-like structure but only rode the covered slide once. I wish our flight had been later so we could have played longer. It's a shame! You can also re-enter after leaving, so it would be good to plan for a whole day. It only took about a 5-minute walk from Tenma Station by subway!

Four of us used the Osaka Subway, the Osaka Aqua-Bus, Osaka Castle, and Tsutenkaku. At the tourist spots, many visitors were waiting in line to buy tickets, but we were able to proceed straight to the entrance, which saved time and was great. Also, thanks to what seemed to be a campaign, we were able to purchase them with about a 10% discount, which was wonderful. Since they can be bought up to 270 days in advance, it might be a good idea to aim for a time when you can get a good deal. Using the subway with a group takes a little getting used to, but once you get the hang of it, it's interesting. I think this is the ideal ticket for efficiently touring Osaka.

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 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!

Nice Sumo experience! Fun and interesting insights in the sumo world. When arriving at the site be aware you need to go downstairs on the side of the buildings for the sumo arena.
