Things to do in Osaka Castle

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.

This place is amazing! I don't know the booking details for the tickets, but I want to go on every ride and visit Nintendo. The all-inclusive ticket covers admission, the train, and various passes. I definitely got my money's worth. It's worth the price, so go ahead and buy it. One ticket does it all!

Hide was a fantastic guide. We would never have learnt as much without him. I thoroughly recommend this tour. We did the tour with our 2 teenage children and we all really enjoyed it.

It’s super convenient and easy to use this Amazing Pass. You can just enter so many attractions and metros only using this. Please make sure you are connected to the internet to use the barcode that will always be refreshed within 1 minute.

We arrived a little early but the staff were so kind and quick to help us! once we set foot into the store, there was a wide variety of options of kimonos in different patterns and fabrics. I ended up paying a little extra for a premium kimono because I loved the color! Putting on the kimono was very thorough, and I was happy with the attention to detail as well as the check in on how comfortable it was! After, I got my hair done, and also picked a premium option. I was so happy with the style and accessories offered! I loved the final product and appearance! I would definitely recommend this shop to a friend!

It is located under the green bridge. If you search for Wonder Cruise on Google Maps, it will come up. With upbeat music, the host tried hard to keep the atmosphere lively, and since the boat makes a U-turn on the river, you can get a great view of the Glico Man sign whether you sit on the right or the left. They also stop briefly in front of it so everyone can take pictures! For this price, you get to see the night view, enjoy the vibe, and even take photos, so I definitely recommend trying it at least once!

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.

Absolutely great experience! I chose the 1.5‑hour night tour, and I’d definitely recommend going for the later time if you’re visiting in summer. I actually ended up with a personal tour, which made the whole drive even better. Seeing Osaka Castle lit up at night, along with the tower, was a highlight. Make sure to arrive at least 30 minutes early, since there’s a short safety video you need to watch before driving. You can also rent a GoPro (extra cost) if you want to capture your driving experience — totally worth it if you want to relive the ride later. Would definitely recommend this to anyone who wants to drive like Mario in Mario Cart 😁 Will definitely be doing this again. 5⭐️ to the crew.

We purchased two-day tickets for our family trip, which included two adults and two elementary school children. Although there isn't a separate child fare for the tickets, we were able to enjoy a classic Osaka trip at a great value, visiting Tsutenkaku Tower, the Tsutenkaku Tower Slider, the Umeda Sky Building Observatory, the Wonder Cruise, and the Osaka Bay Twilight Cruise! Even though it was crowded everywhere during the Obon holiday, it was a great advantage that some locations had dedicated ticket counters for the Rakuyu Pass, allowing us to exchange our tickets without waiting in line to purchase them!
