Things to do in Osaka Castle

This is well worth it. Beleive me it was a hot day and last thing is having to line up and wait in a massive Queue. This place gets packed. Great thing if u book/make a reservation you skip these lines. It was a great experience they even had spray machines for you on way up to cool yourself down. They also have souvenir shops inside the castle to buy memorabilia. Its quite a massive space to explore and you get a good glimpse of history and the area is just magnificent to be in. You can also pay for boat trip down the river & other excursions. Wonderful experience.

Actually, I should have used it more. It's a shame I didn't get to use some things until the last day because I hadn't seen them yet. But overall, it pretty much paid for itself. I recommend buying it if you're going to Universal Studios. Even though I didn't use everything, it was still worth the price.

Super worth it! We used the Amazing Osaka pass for the first two days of our trip. It was a perfect some sort of "introduction" to the culture and must-have experiences if it's your first time visiting the place. I do recommend to plan your itinerary well when using their pass, grouping the attractions according to area (which we did) - it made the trip easier to navigate and less travel time to hop to one place to another. One minor hiccup we encountered along the way (and i think it's a wifi issue from our end), was that one time the QR code for the subway trains wasn't working (yes we checked the line was covered by the Amazing pass). So it's still best to have your loaded Icoca card with you in case this happens. All in all, I'd still purchase this pass in my future trips, there's still so much to do and enjoy in Osaka. I'm looking forward to more areas to explore and visit next time I'll avail this pass. Thanks Klook!

We arrived a little early but the staff were so kind and quick to help us! once we set foot into the store, there was a wide variety of options of kimonos in different patterns and fabrics. I ended up paying a little extra for a premium kimono because I loved the color! Putting on the kimono was very thorough, and I was happy with the attention to detail as well as the check in on how comfortable it was! After, I got my hair done, and also picked a premium option. I was so happy with the style and accessories offered! I loved the final product and appearance! I would definitely recommend this shop to a friend!

very great experience … the driver was so nice .. good service… good communication.. they are always available to answer and give the best service .. me and the group are so happy … the tour was so great

Our 3‑hour tour of Osaka Castle with Marielle was nothing short of exceptional. She combined deep historical knowledge with engaging storytelling, making the centuries of samurai heritage and castle intrigue come alive. Her pacing was perfect — balancing detailed explanations with time to explore and take in the atmosphere. Marielle’s warmth and attentiveness stood out; she anticipated questions, offered thoughtful insights, and ensured everyone felt included. From pointing out hidden architectural details to sharing cultural anecdotes, she transformed the visit into a memorable experience. If you’re visiting Osaka Castle, I wholeheartedly recommend booking a tour with Marielle. She elevates the experience from sightseeing to truly understanding the spirit of the place.

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.

It is located under the green bridge. If you search for Wonder Cruise on Google Maps, it will come up. With upbeat music, the host tried hard to keep the atmosphere lively, and since the boat makes a U-turn on the river, you can get a great view of the Glico Man sign whether you sit on the right or the left. They also stop briefly in front of it so everyone can take pictures! For this price, you get to see the night view, enjoy the vibe, and even take photos, so I definitely recommend trying it at least once!

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!
