The castle is really impressive, with nice movies explaining the history of the place. We visited during the summer, so it was a bit tough with the heat, but there is a lot of places to get some refreshing drinks to help. Overall, an amazing experience!Marko

On a blistering mid-summers day, the Osaka sun shone bright. Visitors from all around the world cowered under trees, fans ablaze, hats and shirts covering every last part of their bodies. I was looking forward to visiting the famed Osaka Castle, but didn't realise it was such a popular attraction, nor one that would have a line of over 100m to buy tickets. Standing and waiting in a line in that sun? No. Thank. You. I called my friends, scattered around the grounds in various sun-protected and air conditioned locations. ' Should we go up to the castle?' I asked. ' the lines too long! It's too hot!' they said. And that's where Headout saved the day. 'I got this. Meet me at the front.' 2 minutes later, using the super easy and effective Headout website, we were in the castle. We'd skipped the line. We'd avoided waiting in the heat. We'd walked right in into one of Japan's most popular attractions. Unreal. I cannot recommend Headout more, wherever you might be going.

Magnificent, very good combination. Majestic castle and spectacular viewpoint. On the 59th floor you can eat and see amazing views of Osaka. I recommend it

The line for the ticketcenter was to long. So while we were wainting, I bought them online and skipped the line. Perfect solution.
