Harukas 300 was absolutely breathtaking. From the friendly, welcoming staff to the garden floor where you can lounge and take in the view, every part of the experience felt very special. The observation deck was also truly next level with stunning views across Osaka that made it feel like I was on top of the world. The windows were very clean that photos and videos came out perfectly crisp. I had such a memorable time here and Harukas 300 was easily one of the highlights of my trip to Osaka. 10/10 Highly recommend!

We LOVED visiting the Osaka Castle. The history of the time period from when it was originally built was fascinating! I highly recommend using the audio tour. It gave a great brief overview of each section, but don't forget to read the extra information written around each artifact and display of the battles! (There's some extra "gossip" thrown in which I very much enjoyed.) Also, seeing the area of the ORIGINAL stone wall which had been buried with the icing on the cake. I would ABSOLUTELY return!

Overall, it was a good experience. The observatory is located on the 8th floor. Please note that the elevators only go up to the 5th floor. Unfortunately, we missed the queue on the left for the elevator, so we ended up taking the stairs all the way to the top. There are two stamps that visitors can collect. I missed the first one. I'm not entirely sure where it is, but it’s probably at the top of the castle. The second stamp is available at the exit.

Visited Osaka Castle and it was honestly one of the most impressive historical spots in Japan. The castle looks majestic, especially with the huge stone walls and the surrounding park. The view from the top floor is amazing—you can see a wide panorama of Osaka city. Inside the castle there are exhibitions about Toyotomi Hideyoshi and the history of the castle, which made the visit even more interesting. Definitely a must-visit place if you’re in Osaka!

Osaka Castle was awesome. After reading about the history and stories, Osaka Castle climbed to the top of my list of best castles in Japan. Purchasing the ticket online took only a few minutes and I got to skip the line right outside. The cost was the same online vs paying at the ticket counter. I think it's worth it, especially if you like history, culture, and architecture.
