M23***12:“We had a flexible schedule, entering the park at 9:00 AM. We were thrilled to have won a Nintendo entry ticket. During the visit, my child suddenly felt unwell and took a break to find the emergency center. The staff was very helpful and offered advice (the emergency center didn't have any medication, so we had to buy it ourselves). They also arranged for the child to rest. While there were some minor hiccups throughout the day, overall, the experience was incredibly enjoyable. Aside from the heat and the long lines, Nintendo was a perfect match. I'll definitely go again.”

M44***42:“👍 Osaka Sea Tour is worth a visit. 🌸 I finished playing Universal Studios and stayed nearby for one night. I went to the pier in the morning to buy tickets for the ➕ Hall. The cost is shown in the picture (only cash), and a paper will be given with a QR code on it. The boat will arrive on the other side in ten minutes. It is very convenient to scan the code to enter the museum directly. Note that the ticket office does not directly accept some APP orders, and don't make an appointment on the official website. You have to have a foreign mailbox to make an appointment. You can directly enter by buying a joint ticket directly at the pier. 🌸 content in the museum: mainly around a huge ocean pool to visit in a circle, tourists can enjoy the sea creatures of each water layer at three heights in high school and low school. I like this design. There are regular dolphins and penguins feeding performances in the museum. The animals are very active and in good spirits. The staff checks the animal body every day and makes feeding records. The animals live well. The design of the venue is very exquisite, the details are in place, and the experience is good. Souvenir shops can pay Alipay WeChat. recommend. 🌸 Food: After visiting the restaurant on the first floor, there is a light meal for drinks, and you can pay by Alipay WeChat.”

逛东逛西的银溪:“It's about a 1.2-kilometer walk from two subway stations. Through the lush greenery of Osaka Castle Park, you'll find the whitewashed, green-tiled castle tower. This five-story Japanese castle has eight floors for visitors, making it compact yet fully functional. My favorite is the holographic display on the seventh floor, which vividly depicts the life of Toyotomi Hideyoshi. The view from the top observation deck is average. It's recommended to purchase e-tickets in advance (saving at least a half-hour in line) and take the stairs (elevator waits are longer). While some areas are windowless, the exquisite architecture and historical atmosphere are still worth a visit. Adults under 15 are free. Adult tickets were purchased through Ctrip and were very reasonably priced. We spent over three hours exploring almost all the exhibits and videos.”

ㅣreccoㅣ:“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.”

爱睡懒懒觉的我:“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.”

狗狗太上皇:“🌟Must-see photo spots (with best times) 1. Glico Sign - 👉Camera locations: Middle of Ebisu Bridge (front view for panoramic shots), Riverside under the bridge (upward view with street view), 3rd floor of the drugstore across the street (close-up shots to avoid crowds) - ⏰Time: No one's around before 9:00 AM! The atmosphere is even more dramatic at night when the lights are on (brightest from 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM). - ✨Tips: Wear light-colored clothing; the neon background is incredibly vibrant! 2. Dotonbori Canal - 👉Camera locations: Walk along the riverside promenade, using the giant Crab Doraku sign or takoyaki model as your backdrop. - ✨Tips: Have a friend take a photo from the other side, capturing the canal, lanterns, and you in the frame for a truly Japanese movie-inspired look! 3. American Village Graffiti Wall - 👉Address: West side of Shinsaibashi (near Tanimachi 4-chome Subway Station) - A variety of street-style graffiti and colorful shipping containers. Styling in trendy, cool clothes will make you look like you're in a magazine shoot! 4. European Village Cobblestone Street - 👉Suochosuji Street, with its British-style streetlights and brick buildings. Strolling in a short skirt and snapping a few photos will instantly transform you into the streets of London~ 👗Outfit Tips - Japanese-Sweet Girl: Light-colored JK skirt/floral dress with white sneakers and a canvas bag. - Street Style: Loose T-shirt, overalls, and sneakers. A baseball cap is even more striking. - Retro Style: High-waisted jeans and a crop top. The retro poster wall at the entrance of Shinsaibashi PARCO is a perfect spot for photos! 📌 Tips - Many drugstores have cartoon figures in front of them (like Matsumoto Kiyoshi's Kumamon), offering free photos with them—super cute! - The cherry blossom season (March-April) and Christmas decorations (November-December) in front of Daimaru Department Store are great hidden photo spots. - Go in the evening to take photos against the light—your hair will glow! Remember to use live mode to capture some moments! Food and Prices - Mizuno Okonomiyaki: Located at 1-4-15 Dotonbori, Chuo-ku, Osaka, this okonomiyaki restaurant has been recognized by Michelin Guide for eight consecutive years. Both the yamanomiyaki and yakisoba okonomiyaki are highly recommended. The ingredients are plentiful and the portions are generous. The price per person is around 1,500 yen (approximately RMB 75).​ - Shabucho: Located at 1-15-25 Higashi-Shinsaibashi, Chuo-ku, Osaka, the sukiyaki here is tender and the vegetables are well-seasoned. The lunch hour is a great value, with prices around 3,000 yen (approximately 150 RMB) per person. - Kibitaki: Located on the 3rd floor of Samboa Bldg, 2-1-10 Shinsaibashisuji, this is a highly rated yakitori restaurant in Shinsaibashi.

Cameo19:“Umeda sky building is particularly impressive if you go late afternoon towards sun set. It about 18 minutes walk from the nearest metro stop but definitely worth visiting. Unfortunately the art museum was closed for the day, didn’t realise is shut so early, nevertheless, if you walk to the top floor, then up the stairs to the outside section, you’ll have spectacular 360 views! You can also eat/drink or just watch if you can get a stool at the large window area. Theres also lots of restaurants and shopping nearby.”
