If you want to see the most beautiful panoramic views of Osaka, this place will certainly not disappoint!

We purchased two-day tickets for our family trip, which included two adults and two elementary school children. Although there isn't a separate child fare for the tickets, we were able to enjoy a classic Osaka trip at a great value, visiting Tsutenkaku Tower, the Tsutenkaku Tower Slider, the Umeda Sky Building Observatory, the Wonder Cruise, and the Osaka Bay Twilight Cruise! Even though it was crowded everywhere during the Obon holiday, it was a great advantage that some locations had dedicated ticket counters for the Rakuyu Pass, allowing us to exchange our tickets without waiting in line to purchase them!

I had such a wonderful time! Gogo Day, Nika-san, your fluent Korean and Chinese skills, along with your detailed and fun explanations, made for a delightful trip to Japan!

Nice and cheap small experience and you get a cool souvenir at the end. The guidance was nice and clear with good English. Don't feel pressured to buy the prenium wood, the starting one also looks great!

It was a great experience and a lot of fun. The organizer always made an effort to deliver a great show. You can take great photos of all the billboards to the left and right of the water canal. We really enjoyed it. The booking through Klook was fast and hassle-free. Good directions, everything was top-notch. Thank you.

it’s very interesting experience how to make the chopstick. it’s alot of work.

Very good workshop and step by step guidance given to complete the activity right from cracking a plate to repairing the crack and making it more beautiful !! the guide was very helpful and patient with me in teaching me. thank you for the experience!!

My second-grade son recently became interested in sumo, so we booked a sumo experience and visited. It was close to the station and easy to find. Mr. Ryu and Mr. Kai's demonstrations were excellent, and the explanation of sumo history was very informative. My son absolutely loved the chance to compete against the sumo wrestlers at the end! He was the only child among the participants, and they raised his hand as the champion at the end, which made him incredibly happy! :) There were many foreigners, so the explanations were given in fluent English. However, as a Korean who is more comfortable with Japanese than English, I thought it would be great if the historical explanations were also available in other languages, like Korean, or even just in Japanese! Anyway, we had a wonderful time, and it was a valuable experience that was well worth the money! :)

it was a great way to see the city lights! because it rained, we had to wear raincoats. I think I would buy a more flexible ticket next time to try and avoid the rain :) The music was good and the guides were very friendly
