Things to do in Osaka

Had an absolute ball. super friendly staff, safety was excellent with hand rail getting into boat and comfortable seating. Fun captain and music made it super enjoyable and some brief history in various languages. well thought out quick 20 minute tour but worth it for the experience and photos.

had so much fun! the best to book tickets here in klook for better options and packages! skip the long lines and book through klook! had photos with mario and luigi! great food also. will always go back at USJ

A must-visit observation deck when you’re in Osaka! 🌇✨ My tip is to visit around sunset, when you can witness the breathtaking transition from the golden evening sky to the sparkling city lights. The view is simply gorgeous and absolutely amazing — an unforgettable experience you shouldn’t miss!

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.

We found the one day Osaka Amazing pass worthwhile. We scanned the QR code from my phone at subway stations for both myself and my partner one by one, it was so convenient. We planned our journeys using Google maps according to trains listed so as to make it worthwhile. First we did Umeda Sky building for viewing from its observatory deck, then the Tsutenkutu tower observation deck. We did not do the sky walk there or the slide. I did have trouble bringing up my Klook App here as I was getting no internet. They dont have wifi, only in nearest McDonald's to see the QR code. We eventually managed to log in via the website. Next we took trains to Osaka Castle. Afterwards we used the pass to do the Gozabune boat ride after exchanging our QR code for a timed ticket. Went back via a road train which we paid senior(over 65) rate of ¥200. Our final activity for the day was the Tombori river cruise in Dotonbori area. Highly recommend this day pass.

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.

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!

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.
