I was eager to enter the castle but wouldn't wanted to bear the hassle of the long lines to buy physical tickets. Lucky for me online tickets were one super easy click away through headout.com. I personally liked that it's possible to pay for the tickets through Apple Pay, then again with an easy click, no need to register credit card or use other pay apps. I hope some day all tickets will be available through headout.com.

We bought our tickets in the queue to save time. The queue was quite long but QR code from Headout got us straight in with no queue. This was especially good as it was getting near the end of the day to time was precious. The castle has really cool views and the museum was an excellent way to start our Osaka trip. The extra booking fee was worth it to save us time. The cake grounds are also really lovely.

We saved a 20 plus minute line by me spending a few minutes to do this online planning. Worked great: Simple and time saving. We were able to go to the top of the tower on what I thought was a basic ticket and it covered going into the stone museum too. More display signs in English than expected, but it was the models that we both enjoyed most. Great choice on a wet morning.

Nori, our guide was informative, funny and genuine. We tried very good food and the conversations were amazing. We were excited to meet others from different countries and Nori led us thru history and food. We tried the unusual and surprisingly great tasting food. I'd recommend this tour and Nori. This tour supported our large group.

A wonderful visit to Osaka Castle! The building is magnificent, surrounded by a large park that is pleasant to stroll through. A must-see spot to discover Japanese history and enjoy beautiful scenery. I highly recommend the visit! We bought our tickets on Headout, which saved us from waiting 45 minutes in line on-site.

Super easy booking and the mobile ticket worked right away, so we skipped the line and walked straight in. The castle is beautiful and the view over Osaka from the top floor was one of the best moments of our Japan trip. Take some time afterwards to walk around the grounds and the moat, it's really nice. Would book again!

I wanted to see the sunset from the sky. It was amazing. The elevator also. Must do in Osaka. And the go to botanic garden.

I really enjoyed visiting Osaka Castle and its museum. The exhibition was well presented, with interesting installations and informative descriptions that helped me understand the history behind the exhibits. The views from the top were absolutely stunning, and the entire place was clean and well maintained. The only thing I would change is the flow of visitors inside the castle. The crowds made it difficult to take my time and really soak up the historical atmosphere. A more organized visitor flow would make the experience much more enjoyable. Overall, it was a great experience, and I would definitely recommend visiting Osaka Castle

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.
