Things to do in Tower of the Sun

We had such a great day on this tour with Apple. Apple was great at giving information about each place before we arrived. We were provided with must see and visit recommendations to help us whilst exploring Arashiama on our own. All of the stops are beautiful. The tour itself was very efficient with just enough time in each place to see all the highlights. Would definitely recommend!

was a great family experience and fun for the whole family from start to finish and to see the end result makes it all worth it and the kids lived doing it

⛩️🌧️ Katsuo-ji Temple — BEST Osaka experience ever! ❤️🎎 Even with the rain absolutely showing no mercy 😂☔, this place was magical, peaceful and somehow transforming. ✨🌿 So many beautiful photo spots 📸, but it never felt overly crowded or chaotic. We’ll definitely come back for better weather and decent photos! 😅☀️ 🐟 Highlight: the koi feeding area! Watching the koi swarm for food was oddly satisfying 😂🐟🍴. Don’t miss the stamp collection either — it’s a fun excuse to explore more of the temple grounds and finish the whole experience. 🗺️🎎 🚍 Downside: about 1 hour from Namba, with buses only every ~30 minutes. The ride up the mountain is very zigzaggy, so get a seat and don’t give it up! 😂🚌 Once you arrive, there are plenty of vending machines 🥤 and even a photobooth 📸 to complete the experience. Just don’t arrive starving — snacks are limited to the cute baby Daruma cakes. 🎎🍰 Bring snacks if needed! Rain or shine, absolutely worth the journey! 🌧️❤️✨

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!

fantastic package and good value for money. walked straight pass all those queuing to get ticket. that was a very long queue that I skipped using the QR ticket. definitely a must!

This indoor aquarium and small zoo is perfect for summer activities, as it's air-conditioned. It features a wide variety of marine life, as well as animals like tigers, crocodiles, and hippos. The final exhibit allows for close-up interaction with some animals, which greatly excites children.

The tour was well worth the money, and our guide, Gary, was very professional. When I visited Osaka last winter, I booked a one-day tour through Klook, and the guide contacted me via WhatsApp beforehand. This time, no one contacted me in advance, which made me quite anxious. However, everything started very smoothly once we arrived at the designated time and meeting point. My husband, children, and I had a wonderful trip, enjoyed a delicious lunch, and had a great time tasting green tea. I highly recommend booking this tour if it's your first time visiting the places on the itinerary, as it takes care of your meals and transportation.

It was our 12th day in Japan, and all the previous days had been exhausting. I had wanted to do this tour on my own, but the kids weren't keeping up as well anymore. I decided to book this tour a day in advance, and it was the best decision. We visited several places without getting too tired or worn out, and the kids happily continued. We wouldn't have been able to see so much on our own. Our guide and driver were very kind!

Absolutely fantastic experience! We took this tour today and couldn't be happier with Mr Zheng Haowen, our driver and guide. The evening before the tour, he carefully sent us all the exact details and instructions for the meet-up, which made the morning completely stress-free. Throughout the entire day, he took incredible care of us and made sure everyone was comfortable, safe, and happy. Highly recommend booking this tour, thank you for making our day in Osaka so special!
