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 forgot that my first tickets were for two people and had been canceled, so no matter how many times I scanned them at the machine, they wouldn't work! My Japanese sister took me to the service counter to ask for help, and thankfully, they printed physical tickets for me 😄. The service counters in Japan are really great; they get everything done in one go 👍, and I was able to get on the train without any problems. I think this experience reminded me that I have to delete canceled tickets so I don't waste too much time messing around in front of the machine!

Due to my own carelessness, I wasn't able to exchange the tickets successfully because I scanned a QR code that had already been canceled. Thankfully, with the help of a friend, everything was completed smoothly, and I finally got the physical tickets sorted out.

This was by far the best hotel of our trip, absolutely perfect in size, quality, and comfort. The location couldn’t be better: just a step away from the station, right in front of a McDonald’s, and with a Family Mart only a few meters away. The hotel was spotless and had everything we needed. The foot massage machine was a real lifesaver after long days of walking my feet were so thankful! The food was delicious, and even taking a shower felt incredibly comfortable. They provide pajamas and slippers to wear inside, which made the stay even more relaxing. On top of that, the staff was very kind and went the extra mile by helping us with the entire process of sending our luggage. Truly a 10/10 experience highly recommended!

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.
