Pre-ordering tickets is a MUST. The line was absolutely crazy to get tickets. Once you get past the ticket booth, you will get an option to wait in line for an elevator or to take the stairs. If you are able to take the stairs, it will also save a lot of time. Even with the elevator though, be prepared for a lot of walking and a good amount of stairs outside the castle. It is beautiful and so interesting. Take your time on each floor, and take a seat to pace yourself when you need. It will be warm once you are in and surrounded by people.

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Osaka Castle. It has the best Yakatori chicken food truck... as well as rainbow snow cones which were a delightful stop along the way up the hill. My daughter wanted to go all the way back to the Castle just for the chicken. The history was very interesting to learn about and the view from the top of the Castle was beautiful. I highly recommend purchasing your tickets online to avoid the que. The street performers were an added bonus too!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Review — Osaka Castle Visiting Osaka Castle was an incredible experience! The architecture is absolutely stunning, surrounded by beautiful gardens and a peaceful moat that makes the whole place feel timeless. The inside of the castle has been turned into a museum, where you can learn a lot about Japan’s history and the samurai era. From the top floor, the panoramic view of Osaka city is breathtaking — especially at sunset.

Marvel at Osaka from Harukas 300, where 360-degree floor-to-ceiling windows offer breathtaking views of the city's skyline from 300 meters high.

HARUKAS 300 hosts 'Godzilla Attacks!' with a massive Godzilla Earth exhibit, interactive games, crafts, and exclusive shopping from Apr 21–Jun 29.

Skip the long lines at Osaka Castle and explore its rich history as a former stronghold of the Toyotomi clan and a symbol of Japan's feudal past.

Ascend all eight floors of Osaka Castle to admire priceless samurai artifacts and enjoy breathtaking views of Osaka from the observation deck.

It saved us time to purchase tickets ahead of time. We were still able to store our backpacks and jackets at the front desk for 100 yen per item.
