Things to do in Sumiyoshi Taisha

Thanks to Guide Luffy-chan's excellent commentary and care, we had a wonderful bus trip. I wish you all the best in your endeavors. Okini!

We had planned to use it at night, but my family was very tired, so we moved it up to around sunset. There were only four of us on the cruise—my family and one other gentleman—so it felt like a private cruise, haha! The guide gave excellent explanations, and the City cruise had the best facilities. The person assisting us spoke Korean so well, I wondered if they were Korean, which made things very comfortable. A cruise offers a different kind of scenery than walking around, so I highly recommend trying it at least once!

The guide was very informative and friendly! It's fine even if you go alone. I recommend this to anyone who doesn't know what to do on their trip.

This is the best observation deck in Osaka. I highly recommend going up to see it. There are three levels where you can sit and enjoy panoramic views of Osaka. It's 60 stories high and very beautiful. You can go around 4 PM to watch the sunset.

Such an awesome experience! Definitely rug up as can get cold but they provide blankets which is so sweet

well worth the visit. It’s completely different to other viewpoints as the floor to ceiling windows offer an unobstructed view 360 degrees of Ōsaka. Perhaps a few more seats to rest weary sightseers legs would be useful though. Oh and the “Loo with a view” is pretty fantastic!

They have a great atmosphere and the staff is super friendly.

It's an incredible viewpoint, the staff is very friendly, and they tell you the history of the tower.
