Kaz was the best tour guide i had had in Jan. He was knowledgeable, kind, caring, funny, a great story teller with great sense of humour. The 2 1/2 had went so quickly . My only criticism of the tour was that I paid AUD $48 whilst whilst other member of our tour group paid nothing but left a tip. Shook b the same price for everyone otherwise you feel ripped off.

We bought our tickets in the queue to save time. The queue was quite long but QR code from Headout got us straight in with no queue. This was especially good as it was getting near the end of the day to time was precious. The castle has really cool views and the museum was an excellent way to start our Osaka trip. The extra booking fee was worth it to save us time. The cake grounds are also really lovely.

We saved a 20 plus minute line by me spending a few minutes to do this online planning. Worked great: Simple and time saving. We were able to go to the top of the tower on what I thought was a basic ticket and it covered going into the stone museum too. More display signs in English than expected, but it was the models that we both enjoyed most. Great choice on a wet morning.

Nori, our guide was informative, funny and genuine. We tried very good food and the conversations were amazing. We were excited to meet others from different countries and Nori led us thru history and food. We tried the unusual and surprisingly great tasting food. I'd recommend this tour and Nori. This tour supported our large group.

Très belle visite du château d’Osaka ! Le bâtiment est magnifique, entouré d’un grand parc agréable pour se promener. Un lieu incontournable pour découvrir l’histoire du Japon et profiter de beaux paysages. Je recommande vivement la visite ! Nous avons pris les billets sur Headout ça nous a évité de faire 45 min de fils d'attente sur place .

Super easy booking and the mobile ticket worked right away, so we skipped the line and walked straight in. The castle is beautiful and the view over Osaka from the top floor was one of the best moments of our Japan trip. Take some time afterwards to walk around the grounds and the moat, it's really nice. Would book again!

I really enjoyed visiting Osaka Castle and its museum. The exhibition was well presented, with interesting installations and informative descriptions that helped me understand the history behind the exhibits. The views from the top were absolutely stunning, and the entire place was clean and well maintained. The only thing I would change is the flow of visitors inside the castle. The crowds made it difficult to take my time and really soak up the historical atmosphere. A more organized visitor flow would make the experience much more enjoyable. Overall, it was a great experience, and I would definitely recommend visiting Osaka Castle

Definitely get tickets online for the Osaka Castle. The line to buy tickets was long. It was great to be able to bypass the line and get in a line for the elevator to the 5th floor. Though you can always walk up to the 8th floor. That being said- I was disappointed with the Osaka Castle. I felt herded through. It was crowded so it was hard to view the exhibits. I would recommend the Nishinomaru Garden next door. It costs 300 yen. It's calm and gives opportunities to see the castle and sit and enjoy the surroundings.

Taking inspiration from the Taisho period, this attraction is an important historical heritage site, built in Ancient Japan. Explore Osaka Castle’s historical grounds at your own time and pace. This experience is one that shouldn’t be missed while in Osaka. In 1583, Hideyoshi Toyotomi began trying to build the Osaka Castle on the site of Ishiyama Hongaji, which was suitable to inhabit a ruler.

After the death of Hideyoshi’s death, the regime moved to the Tokugawa family and the Osaka Castle fell in 1615 at Osaka Natsunokin. This heritage site was then rebuilt under the order of the second Shogun Hidetada Tokugawa, which took around 10 years. This site played a major role as the base of the Western government for the Shogun. Featuring a spectacular light-up and Japanese historical treasures, this Osaka Castle illumination displays over 3 million colorful LED lights on a 300cm long picture scroll. Don’t miss this 430-year-old edifice in Osaka.
