It was really cool. I managed to ride all the rides with these tickets, but I also used the single-rider option—that’s the secret tip; it gets you through much faster. Other than that, it was a really nice day. If you have a timed entry, make sure you’re actually in Nintendo World at the time listed on your ticket!

Buying tickets online to skip the line was an excellent idea; there was a half-hour line in the hot sun.
The visit to Osaka Castle was very nice, especially since there was no queue.

It was a wonderful trip. Our guide, Mari, is a true sumo fan. Full of passion and knowledge for sumo. She experienced the competition, and we did too.

I was pleased with the staff’s courtesy, the beautiful scenery at the theme park, and the fact that the wait times weren’t as bad as I’d expected, even though I didn’t buy an express pass. The food inside was also delicious and varied.

It was a good deal and easy to use. Only problem was that we tried to use it for a train that wasn't included so had to pay $$.

We visited Umeda Sky in our very last day in Japan and what a way to end our trip.
The views are great and the outside deck is wild. It was very windy but it added a little thrill to our day. 😃
The cafe and gift shop are great and added something extra to out visit.
