We wanted to visit Osaka-castle since the beginning of our trip. However we didn't have time to think of buying tickets ahead and we undervalued the queue at the entrance. We were than reluctantly , decided to queue up at the ticket lane which was quite long and demotivating. Moreover, it was quote a cold morning and we we're about to gives up. We saw, then, the indication of web based ticket and we decided to give it a chance by looking at the castle website. And then we made our tickets with readout in 1min. Received QR code and changed queue immediately. We were in a minute later ready to queue for the elevator and start our day enjoying our time in osaka to do everything we had been schedule already. Thanks headout

I just had to show the QR code from the online ticket to the guard and was ushered to a separate express line straight to the the ticket counter, and then showing the code again to enter. And there was a line of people, about 30 at the time all queing up to buy the tickets at the counter. The whole experience was really great, well displayed and translations of artifacts and history of Osaka. The top floor on the 8th floor is a viewing deck, and it is breathtaking to see the beautiful mountains in the horizon surrounding the city with the breeze in your face. Totally worth a visit for sure !

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!
