Location: It was great being close to Dotonbori! Experience: The clothes were so beautiful~ I went to Osaka Castle, and because the clothes were so pretty, many other tourists asked to take pictures with me, which made me very happy! The price is also quite reasonable! However, the shoes hurt my feet a lot and made them tired. If you don't like uncomfortable feet, I recommend wearing sneakers.

So glad to spend time with this Tea Master. Very interesting history and Uji matcha tea making lesson. Many opportunities to ask questions. Finished the experience with a walk to the nearby Buddhist Shrine. A wonderful experience.

Very educational cultural activity by a chado master. Great detail was put into teaching us about the art and history. Our instructor was clear and effective. I gained a greater understanding and admiration of this aspyof Japanese culture.

Highly recommend this tea ceremony. This was absolutely fantastic. A traditional tea ceremony. Very informative, peaceful and traditional. Loved learning about the Japenese tea ceremony history. Thank you so much.

Excellent walking tour with an English-speaking tour guide. He explained the historical places we visited and answered all our questions, and he handled all the tickets needed to enter the castle and shrine. No problem getting them because the tour guide taught us what to do, so no long lines for the tickets. Highly recommend 😉!

Visited on Wednesday, October 7, 2026. We didn't do an open-run (arrive before opening), and it wasn't too crowded, so it was fine. It seems best to go straight to the innermost Donkey Kong ride first and work your way back toward the entrance. Excluding timed-entry tickets, the wait times were roughly 40 minutes to an hour. The Flying Dinosaur had a really long wait time; they said it would be 1 hour, but it felt like it took over an hour longer. The other rides were faster than expected. If you don't necessarily need to ride together, the Dinosaur ride offers a single-rider line, so you should aim for that. Donkey Kong was a bit too boring for my 4th-grade son who likes thrilling rides, but the Dinosaur ride was genuinely scary. Donkey Kong seems great for young kids in the lower elementary grades, while Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey and the Dinosaur ride are better for adults or kids who like scary rides. Even though we only had 4 timed-entry tickets, we managed to ride almost all the popular attractions because it was a weekday (Wednesday) with fewer crowds. The lines move quickly, so you don't really need a folding chair. Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays probably don't require timed-entry tickets, but weekends and holidays definitely seem to need them. Also, Google Maps is better at finding directions than the Universal app, so using Google Maps to navigate to your destinations will get you there faster. The Universal app is very useful for checking show times and wait times, so make sure to download it. For those who bought tickets in Korea, please note that you must print out the timed-entry tickets (Q-Pass) on paper in order to use them. Have a great trip!

This all you can A5 Wagyu was amazing! it was a 12 y/o boy, a 16 y/o girl, a mother in law and a husband and wife and it was just the right amount of amaziness! We had a salad, soup, A5 and A4, abalone, shrimp, and scallops! a bit hard to find because it’s in Dotonburi however, if you get in the general area there is someone outside on the street level that will direct you up. atomshere and service was excellent! A true must try!

I usually go to the same place, but I tried somewhere new and was completely satisfied! The meat quality was excellent, and best of all, it was a private room, which was great for individual dining. However, the stews were really not good, but the lemon cold noodles were a delicious specialty, haha. The meat quality was generally very good, and the unlimited alcohol option was just too filling for me. It was about 2,000 won? I paid extra to upgrade to premium, but next time, I think the basic option will be enough. 120 minutes isn't enough, and they stop taking orders 30 minutes before closing! They bait you with a promise of wagyu if you write a Google review, but they don't actually give it to you, haha. I was satisfied anyway, so it was fine, but someone on Google reviews gave them 1 star, saying they promised wagyu but didn't deliver, haha. Even without the bait-and-switch, I was satisfied! There's a small, one-pyeong (about 35 sq ft) smoking room inside the restaurant!

If you're going to worry about the cost of a meal and your wallet, you might as well just eat the wind. People work hard all day just for a satisfying meal; if you have the means to fill your stomach, then naturally you should enjoy yourself, eat happily, and eat heartily. To do otherwise is pointless. If you have too many reservations, it goes against the natural way. To live in a way that goes against the natural order makes life painful.
