Tennoji Zoo Reviews

Tennoji Zoo was a wonderful experience and one of the highlights of our Osaka trip. The star attraction for us was definitely the polar bear—it was amazing to see such a powerful and beautiful animal up close. The enclosure was spacious and offered great viewing opportunities. The zoo is easy to explore, family-friendly, and home to a good variety of animals from around the world. The grounds are well maintained, and we enjoyed spending several relaxing hours here. Highly recommended!

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!

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!

Super Nintendo World is a lot of fun and has such a magical feel. Although I bought eight ride tickets along with a pass guaranteeing entry into the Super Nintendo World area, I don't understand why not a single location checked whether I had this entry ticket. Regardless, each ride normally has a wait time of over an hour, but because I bought the fast pass, it went by very quickly. As a result, I was able to manage almost all the rides; otherwise, I would have only managed about four before dark. For international tourists who might not visit for years, buying a fast pass is recommended, but it is truly very expensive—essentially paying $200 for one hour of saved waiting time.

Beautiful experience to have a real view of most of the city. The skip the lines is REALLY worthwhile. I scheduled my experience so I could enjoy daylight. sunset and night. both were unique. Don’t forget that there is an open overhead floor after the one the main elevator takes you. beautiful too. Oh and the skip the line also wotks on the way down.
