There was a long queue for purchasing the tickets on the spot the day I went, so purchasing an e-ticket on Headout made it so much efficient since there was a separate line for tickets bought online. There was literally no one queuing for the line!

Harukas 300 was absolutely breathtaking. From the friendly, welcoming staff to the garden floor where you can lounge and take in the view, every part of the experience felt very special. The observation deck was also truly next level with stunning views across Osaka that made it feel like I was on top of the world. The windows were very clean that photos and videos came out perfectly crisp. I had such a memorable time here and Harukas 300 was easily one of the highlights of my trip to Osaka. 10/10 Highly recommend!

Excellent pass that made a very busy, full on day much easier to navigate and much more pleasant. Every line we saw was minimum one hour. Being able to save that time that would have been wasted simply waiting made the day really fun. It's expensive, but if you're only planning on coming here once, it's absolutely worth it.

Hassle free experience, fast confirmation and able to preload tickets without need of staying online or in app. The selected rides in the package are easily the few best rides available in USJ, so that made the experience sweeter.
