Definitely get tickets online for the Osaka Castle. The line to buy tickets was long. It was great to be able to bypass the line and get in a line for the elevator to the 5th floor. Though you can always walk up to the 8th floor. That being said- I was disappointed with the Osaka Castle. I felt herded through. It was crowded so it was hard to view the exhibits. I would recommend the Nishinomaru Garden next door. It costs 300 yen. It's calm and gives opportunities to see the castle and sit and enjoy the surroundings.

The holographic videos were fanatastic. The information was interetsting and the views from the top of the Castle spectacular. There were a large variety of artefacts and I should have spent more time with the pictures which are detailed and annotated to reveal the history behind the battle scenes. This was one of the highlights of my trip to Japan. One note would be to have more dates for the aretfacts to put into perspective the timeline and how advanced the civilisation was!

Osaka castle was a fabulous day out . We purchased the tickets in advance and it definitely pays off as the queues were getting long as we were arriving . . The castle itself was well laid out with the different exhibits on the different floors . The grounds were equally spectacular and the various little temples etc around added to the day

No hassles and no queues. Was a wet day so standing in the rain was not ideal and we didn't have to as we already had our tickets with Headout. Skipped the queue and walked straight in to The Castle Osaka. Absolutely stunning and view to die for!

Buying the ticket online allowed me to skip the line at the ticket office and enter the castle immediately. Everything was very quick and easy; in fact, I did it that very morning while I was right below the castle.
