It's a super fun place, and it's very convenient to book tickets from Ctrip.
We were worried that we would be too tired, so we booked a two-day trip of one and a half days, one adult and one child, and entered the park after 3 pm. Explore the way first.
It is recommended to use the Nintendo coupon after entering the park. If there is one, rush in quickly and find a place with fewer people to play, don't waste time queuing.
The next day, you can go to other areas you like, and there are basically no people. We played the forbidden journey three times, and it was so cool.
Remember that Ctrip will send a fdf with a QR code. Enlarge the QR code, take a screenshot, save it, and swipe it when entering the park.
Universal Japan is really good, the scenic area is well-organized, the staff are enthusiastic, and you can enter the Mario Park directly without reservation. The queue time for popular projects inside is a little longer, depending on personal wishes. I originally planned to go back at night, but the weather was too hot, so I left at 5 pm! It is very convenient to buy water and things. Alipay can be used directly, and you can get a tax refund after buying souvenirs!

The observation deck is worth visiting. There is a shopping mall downstairs. I got a coupon for foreigners with a 5% discount. If you spend more than 5,500, you can go to the 3rd floor for tax-free shopping. You can go shopping for a whole day. It is a very good shopping mall. Children in the observation deck are half price. It is recommended that children buy tickets on site for cheaper prices. The 16th floor and below are free. After buying or exchanging tickets on the 16th floor, take the elevator to the 60th floor observation deck. When you look up from the elevator, you can see star-like lights. You can take videos. It feels like traveling through time. It is a very good experience.
I've seen many observatories similar to this, so it was not very spectacular or breathtaking, but overall views are very nice and comfortable surroundings. You can grab a lunch or dinner there or just a cup of coffee and wait for the sunset. There are signs of how to get there for your ticket exchange.

I have been to Abeno for many years. I think Umeda Sky Park is more worthwhile. Abeno is too high and the buildings are like ants. Umeda Sky Park is more suitable for distance and the design is very technological. It may be due to the clear weather. The view of Osaka Bay is unobstructed. It is great.
The view on the top of the building is amazing and gives a good feeling of the whole city.

I really recommend going there if you are going to Osaka for the first time. It is really beautiful and dreamy. You can stay there for an afternoon and slowly look at the fish in the Pacific Pavilion. I still think it is so beautiful when I think about it now🥺🥺🥺
Top notch, 1st global ranking, informative and great experience. Never saw anything close to this level.

Osaka Castle Park is located at 3-11 Osaka Castle, Chuo-ku, Osaka City, Japan, with a total area of 105.6 hectares. It is surrounded by five subway stations. Not far away are the Keihan Main Line's Tenmabashi and Kyobashi stations, as well as JR's Osaka Castle Park Station. It has convenient transportation and is well connected. In the center of Osaka Castle Park stands the castle tower, which is a historical museum with a five-story exterior and an eight-story interior structure. The park not only has thirteen important cultural heritage sites, but also historical relics and cultural heritage sites that witness history.
Osaka Castle Park has a total area of 105.6 hectares, with the castle tower standing in the center. In the park not only has thirteen important cultural heritage sites, but also historical relics and cultural heritage sites that witness history.
The main attractions include: the castle tower, Honmaru, Ninomaru, Higashigai moat, Nishinomaru Garden, Toyoshoan, Tamon Gyor (observatory), Senkan Gyor (observatory), dry yor and time capsule, etc.
While the castle itself may seem overrated, the surrounding and the park is absolutely a treat. I would definitely recommend to take the inter park train, walk around the castle and check out their merch shop.

It is a shopping street with a long history.
It is an excellent place to explore the common people’s culture in Osaka, Japan.
The small shops on both sides are full of nostalgic style of the times.
A dazzling array of products and various specialty shops,
There are also very exaggerated signboards, which can take many good photos.
It is also a concentrated place for fried skewers.
You can feel the local people’s eating and party habits.
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.

A must-visit place in Osaka
Citywalk is a place for checking in, taking photos and shopping
No need to worry about voice problems or rain problems, the street design has solved them for you
The steamed buns and snacks in Figure 4 are worth lining up, and the Jinlong Ramen in Figure 6 comes with free rice and side dishes, which is definitely the king of cost-effectiveness.
This is also a paradise for purchasing agents, with discounts and tax refunds, but a bunch of live-streaming purchasing agents in drugstores should be managed.
Overall, it is worth spending a day here!
Conan's camera location in Shinsaibashi. There are a lot of people in Shinsaibashi, a big LV, but it closes very early at 7 o'clock. The bill was asked to be paid before 6:30. The exchange rate was quite reasonable. There are quite a lot of food nearby. If you are starving, you can just find a place to eat.

Walking all the way from Namba, the road is very prosperous, with commercial streets on both sides, various restaurants, supermarkets, game halls, and drug stores. The prices are similar. It is better to buy things in Osaka. It is indeed cheaper than Tokyo. But be careful of Chinese shopping guides. They are really good at deceiving people and only recommend buying expensive things. You must stick to yourself and don't buy what you don't want. Get your passport ready for tax-free use.
Conan camera position in Dotonbori. Dotonbori is probably the most crowded place in Osaka, right? I went there for a walk and a meal at night. Whether I was walking and taking pictures or going to the restaurant, it was crowded. However, the various neon lights were still pretty. I wanted to buy something at Don Quixote, but the line to pay was scary, so I twisted a few capsules and left quickly.

15mins ride with beautiful view of Osaka. No queue on the weekday. Easy to redeem the QR tickets.
It's OK. It's just right for the elderly to see the night view. I also bought other things in the building, which was interesting. As a supplementary tourist program, it is very qualified. I like Umeda very much.

This is the most surprising place in Osaka. Soraniwa Onsen is very comfortable and cozy.
It has hot springs, restaurants, games and entertainment, libraries, massage SPA, etc. It is very clean and quiet. The garden foot bath is in a huge Japanese garden with an area of about 1,000 square meters. You can wear a fashionable yukata to soak in the foot bath and enjoy the flowers and trees of each season! In addition, the restaurant offers a variety of delicious food.
Solaniwa Onsen at Osaka Bay Tower is an absolute gem for anyone seeking relaxation and a touch of traditional Japan. From the moment you step in, you're transported to a serene Edo-period atmosphere with beautiful lanterns, tranquil gardens, and the calming sound of flowing water. The open-air baths are pure bliss, especially under the night sky. Slip into a colorful yukata, stroll through the beautifully designed corridors, and treat yourself to authentic Japanese cuisine or a soothing massage.
