Things to do in Osaka

It's not particularly big, but it's still tiring to spend a whole day there. We went on a holiday, so the lines were long and it was crowded. Compared to Disneyland, it's just average. Hopefully, it will improve. Nintendo didn't require a pass; we got in at 9:30 am, and we also had a Nintendo appointment.

I used to think that "poetic beauty is created by the heart, and dreams are fragrant" was just a romantic notion uttered by writers. But after staying here, I realized that such beauty can be found in the everyday details of a stay. The warm tea served at the front desk was just right, the room lighting was a gentle, non-glaring shade, and even the small ornaments on the desk held perfectly placed touches of thoughtful design. In the evening, a stroll in the small courtyard downstairs revealed wildflowers sprouting from the cracks in the stones, swaying gently in the breeze. There was no noisy chatter, only the soft rustling of leaves. Returning to my room and pulling back the covers, I could smell the clean scent of sunshine. A peaceful night's sleep ensued, even my dreams were filled with soft warmth. On the day I left, standing at the door and looking back, I suddenly felt a surge of emotion, "Mountains and rivers may meet again, but here is the most serene place." In the midst of a hectic life, to find such a place to rest, where I didn't have to conform to any rules, but could simply be myself, this sense of relaxation was more unforgettable than any elaborate amenities.

Really nice aquarium with a range of animals, can be busy though

Bought the Amazing Osaka pass and Umeda Sky and observatory was included. What a magnificent place for instagram photos. Up on the observatory the views were incredible. We went during the day, but can imagine how much more beautiful it would be. Highly recommended.

Worth the visit for 2 to 3 hours. Its lovely spot but devoid of furnishings..It is rrally.thr architechure and view you are visiting. When you travel.to ancient castles iin Europe you see how they lived woth furnishing but this castle had no furnishing so it leaves you wondering what was it like to really live here.

Must visit if you go to Osaka. Easy to enter with a ticket from trip.com. No need to queue. The view from the top is very interesting. If possible, go during sunset.

The service was excellent. For the 6:30 PM session, I arrived 20 minutes early, waited in line for the elevator, and arrived at the observation deck just in time for the golden sunset. I enjoyed the view for a while, waiting until around 6:40 PM for the sun to set. It was absolutely gorgeous! Then, as the city lights came on, I took some night photos.

came here because of the slide, it’s popular so it took quite a long time to queue for the slide, but it was fun, just took seconds from top to bottom. there were also some shops around, you could find some to eat and some to buy for souvenir, worth spending a day there to have fun.

We went to this spa as soon as we arrived Japan. It is a great “entree” anticipating Japan vibe and culture from donning Yukata to experiencing natural hot spring which apparently isn’t common in the city. Great mimicry as well with Japan’s famous landmarks makes you look forward to seeing more for the coming days.

Beautiful castle and it has many interactive activities inside such as trying the costume and helmet (the only down side is cash only for the helmet rental) some sections you’re not allowed to have pictures. The top is beautiful it could also get crowded so go early.
