Things to do in Osaka

I took the tour during the afternoon and had a nice experience! Since there was only 2 groups (3people in total) our guide was able to be more personal and talk to us a bit more casually, asking about what we liked about Osaka, where we came from and where we wanted to go! Photos from. the river were much easier to take as well

We loved our time at USJ! Our kids (4 year old and 8 year old) enjoyed the Super Nintendo World, Harry Potter, Minions, Snoopy, and Jaws areas. Make sure to come as early as you can if you are not planning to buy express passes. Also, we used the kids switch and had no issues.

amazing view, nice Matcha cafe, staff is very professional, the building houses a lot of other cool things to do, it is a trip on its own, the outside plaze and skyline is beautiful, both at daylight and at night, the city looks beautiful, amazing and alive, every direction you look it is one large painting of light, movement and uniqueness. There is seating in front of the windows at almost all sides where you can enjoy the moment while drinking and eating Japanese food and drinks. There is an exhibition showing the thoughts behind the design, the architects musings, miniatures, blueprints and stories. one corner features an anime specifically made about the building, it is interesting, well made and involves a family story that is well made. The souvenir store is large and has options in both expensive and affordable segments, which is also great. If you’re finished with the sky view you can chec.mk different floors for a large cinema, a great chinese restaurant, curry shop and more

If it’s your first time visiting USJ and you want to skip the long queues, getting an Express Pass is definitely worth it! You can enjoy the attractions with less waiting and less stress, making the most of your day at the park.

Super worth it! We used the Amazing Osaka pass for the first two days of our trip. It was a perfect some sort of "introduction" to the culture and must-have experiences if it's your first time visiting the place. I do recommend to plan your itinerary well when using their pass, grouping the attractions according to area (which we did) - it made the trip easier to navigate and less travel time to hop to one place to another. One minor hiccup we encountered along the way (and i think it's a wifi issue from our end), was that one time the QR code for the subway trains wasn't working (yes we checked the line was covered by the Amazing pass). So it's still best to have your loaded Icoca card with you in case this happens. All in all, I'd still purchase this pass in my future trips, there's still so much to do and enjoy in Osaka. I'm looking forward to more areas to explore and visit next time I'll avail this pass. Thanks Klook!

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.

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.

Tennoji Zoo was a wonderful experience and one of the highlights of our Osaka trip. The star attraction for us was definitely the polar bear—it was amazing to see such a powerful and beautiful animal up close. The enclosure was spacious and offered great viewing opportunities. The zoo is easy to explore, family-friendly, and home to a good variety of animals from around the world. The grounds are well maintained, and we enjoyed spending several relaxing hours here. Highly recommended!
