Things to do in Miraiza Osaka-Jo

Facilities: The slide is fun, but a little dizzying. Once you've been to Tsutenkaku Tower, you probably won't want to go again. Didn't get to experience the Tsutenkaku drive due to time constraints. The Dotonbori boat ride was pretty good 👍, I recommend it. Convenience of booking with Klook: Scanning the ticket was quite fast.

Highly recommended for all history lovers! Osaka Castle offers history lessons in videos and reading, beautiful views of the city and - what surprised us - an elevator! So it's easily accessible even for disabled people. You can also visit Castle Gardens and a beautiful shrine inside castle's walls.

I absolutely have to say, please buy this! Except for JR and airport lines, you can ride everything else until you drop. You even get fast-track entry to Osaka Castle. Buy the pass and spend your money on other things! 😍 Let's all make a killing in Japan! 🤣

It's a lovely experience, although the interior is very modernized. Inside, it's quite impressive and definitely worth seeing. Keep in mind that you can't take photos inside, and it has breathtaking views. Nearby, there's a museum, a variety of restaurants, and souvenir shops with unique items.

Excellent! It covers all the popular attractions. A must-have for visiting Osaka Castle. We enjoyed the boat tours and Ferris wheels to our heart's content. Unlimited subway rides within the period. The two-day pass is great value for money and not too rushed. It's a better choice compared to the one-day pass!

very happy with our photos - booked for one hour & photographer took us through streets close by. the photos are amazing, great quality & we are extremely happy with them.

Trying on a kimono that day was truly a unique experience. First, there was the furisode, so wide and large that the sleeves almost brushed the ground. The material was fine silk, embroidered with delicate cherry blossom patterns, smooth to the touch. The master dresser who helped me dress was extremely skilled, wrapping layer upon layer, starting with the juban, then the nagajuban, and finally the gorgeous outer robe. The sash was tied so tightly that it almost took my breath away. I suppose this is why Japanese women are always soft-spoken and act so gently—being bound so tightly, no one could stride or speak loudly. A small pillow-like object was inserted into the waist; the master dresser said it was an "obiage" used to secure the wide obi belt. The obi knot was tied in the back, very intricate, and I was told there are various styles, but mine was just the most common. This attire has a certain dignity, as if you're not just wearing a garment, but putting on a whole set of behavioral norms. Looking in the mirror, the person reflected suddenly seemed much more reserved. My back straightened involuntarily, my head lowered slightly, and even my smile became more subtle. The beauty of the kimono probably lies not in how it adorns the body, but in how it restrains the heart, teaching people to quiet down from the outside in. Wearing this garment felt like draping an entire culture over my body.

This was probably one of my favorite attractions in Osaka so far. The castle itself is beyond breathtaking, but all the history & culture indoors is worth the trip. Highly recommended to check out Osaka Castle! The park itself is beautiful too!
