The holographic videos were fanatastic. The information was interetsting and the views from the top of the Castle spectacular. There were a large variety of artefacts and I should have spent more time with the pictures which are detailed and annotated to reveal the history behind the battle scenes. This was one of the highlights of my trip to Japan. One note would be to have more dates for the aretfacts to put into perspective the timeline and how advanced the civilisation was!

Osaka castle was a fabulous day out . We purchased the tickets in advance and it definitely pays off as the queues were getting long as we were arriving . . The castle itself was well laid out with the different exhibits on the different floors . The grounds were equally spectacular and the various little temples etc around added to the day

No hassles and no queues. Was a wet day so standing in the rain was not ideal and we didn't have to as we already had our tickets with Headout. Skipped the queue and walked straight in to The Castle Osaka. Absolutely stunning and view to die for!

Buying the ticket online allowed me to skip the line at the ticket office and enter the castle immediately. Everything was very quick and easy; in fact, I did it that very morning while I was right below the castle.

It was great! For those with web tickets, you can go up to the front and go directly inside. Do not line up at the purchase tickets line even if the man at the gate tells you to. He tends to tell everyone to line up at the purchase tickets line even if you have already purchased them online.
