Things to do in Abeno Harukas

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 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!

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.

We had a fun tour with our guide Takeshi. He showed us areas which we normally wouldn't know about or find out. He gave us some useful tips and some historical facts. We had this tour the day after our arrival! Recommended if you are for the first time in Japan!

Ferdinand was awesome, super knowledgeable and very friendly and interactive with the kids

Price: Very good. Experience: The best, it gets you up and down very quickly. There were too many people there; with the Express Pass I was able to make it for the sunset, otherwise I wouldn't have stood a chance 😅

I did the 2 days Osaka Amazing Pass and it was worth it. I literally didn’t have to pay extra for attractions or metro because it was included. I didn’t have time to go to all the attractions but if I visit Osaka again I will buy it again. I like that the attractions and metro were all part of one thing so it was easy and accessible especially since it was my first time visiting. Also, you got discounts on some attractions such as Don Quijote Oval Ferris Wheel.

Universal Studios Japan is worth visiting. Rides are manageable good for kids and adults. However they are too strict for height requirements for kids. It’s totally okay not to get express pass as long as you plan what you ride. Zombie night is also super fun!😊

Visiting Universal Studios Japan this time and purchasing the Express Pass was truly worth it. Although it is not cheap, it significantly cuts down waiting times for popular attractions. Highly sought-after rides like Mario Kart and Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey allowed for quick entry, saving a lot of energy and time. The park was very crowded that day, and without the Express Pass, some attractions would have required waiting for over an hour. It is especially convenient for travelers accompanied by elderly family members or young children, allowing more time for taking photos, shopping, and enjoying the park's atmosphere. The overall redemption process is simple—just show the QR Code at the entrance. Highly recommended for first-time visitors to Universal Studios or travelers with limited time.
