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 !

Got to Osaka castle and the queues for the tickets were CRAZY! We were contemplating leaving when I decided to check for online tickets - it took seconds to book and we got into the express queue where we literally walked past everyone and got straight into the castle. Despite being busy inside we managed to see and experience what we wanted and get some great photos.

The line to buy tickets was like 200 people long. The "online ticket" line was completely empty. We probably saved 30 minutes. We really did "skip the line." Great decision on our part bc I'm not a fan of long lines.

The tickets are only a little more then at the door and easily saved me about 20-30 mins in line to get in. Totally worth it. Show the guards that you have the tickets already and they wave you in past everyone else.
