Osaka Castle tickets worked 100% without any effort. For the Expo you need to register for EXPO first, then add the ticket ID provided by Headout in order to get a QR code. You will need to give them a entry dat and time, whitout this, you'll get no QR code. Stupid system by EXPO I think, but it needs to be explained a lot better by Headout. Once the process is done properly there will be no trouble entering the EXPO side. All in all, really great service by Headout, we saved a lot of money on tickets for both events!

It was so easy to book my tickets, I literally did it in the taxi on the way over, and once we arrived I simply showed the QR code and was able to breeze past the line which saved us a significant amount of time and spared us from extra time in the heat!

Easy access to tickets the day we decided to visit the castle. Quick entry to the exhibit. Liked there was an elevator to the 5 th floor and could easily make it to the 8th floor to start the tour with a view of the area and work your way down at your leisure. At times there were just too many people and felt a bit cramped in to a space to be able to watch the videos or read the information. Otherwise, it was a lovely experience and so glad we took the time to visit!
