Things to do in Osaka

Had the perfect summer day at USJ with my sis & nephew! ☀️🥵 We had so much fun enjoying all the thrilling and exciting rides. The Hollywood Dream Ride was definitely the scariest one heart was racing the whole time! 😱🎢 But the adrenaline rush made it even more unforgettable. Such a fun-filled and memorable experience with my favourite travel buddies! Highly recommended for anyone looking for an exciting day of fun and adventure at USJ! 🎢

Lived the express pass and made it possible for me and my family of four to ride 14 attractions including watching the Waterworld! We rode everything we wanted and even some rides TWICE! It was amazing and would not have been possible without the express pass, 10/10 recommend!

I had planned to get here for sunset but never worked out. Even though it was wet it was a clear view of Osaka on the roof top. I got carried away so didn't get chance to eat a proper meal so was great could get a snack and a sakura ice cream, which was very delicious. To top it off got to wat whilst taking in the view. There is also a souvenir shop and if stamp collecting is part of your trip there is a stamp book in the shop

The 2 days are worth it. I was able to see the attraction I wanted and not feeling rushed. Day 1 We explored Osaka Bay. Ride the Santa Maria cruise, Tempozan Ferris Wheel. Explore Kaiyukan Aquarium, It was not part of the amazing pass but it’s all worth it. Day 2, We exchanged the ticket for the Dombori cruise so I could get the night cruise and yes, We got the 7:35 pm and it is beautiful at night. Then We went to Umeda Sky Building. They have Edo vibe food court. We went to Osaka Castle for the rest of the afternoon, took the train back to Dotonbori for the cruise. All metro train rides are included in the pass. For the 2nd day the pass disappears on your current bookings, you just have to go back to your history and click from there.

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!

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.

The ferris wheel is a really fun way to take in city views! Located inside the Hep Five building on the 7th floor. We visited as a couple, usually its x4 people to a capsule but as it wasn't super busy they let us in as a pair in our own capsule which was nice!

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 was good for me i enjoyed it they said summer is a mosquito mess i didn't get a bite one bit maybe the repellent i applied it's free before you enter but if you have sensitive skin maybe bring your own.. Wear comfortable shoes you'll walk 1 to 1 and half hours
