To celebrate the 2025 Osaka World Expo, the "Midosuji Light-up" lighting event started early this year. The beautiful lights decorated Osaka on an impressive scale. The lighting event covers the 4.4-kilometer Midosuji line. There are nearly 1,000 ginkgo trees along the way decorated with lights, as if you are in a dreamy fairy tale world. Whether driving or walking, you can feel the dreamlike visual feast. 
Light-up period: 
April 9, 2025 - December 31

I enjoyed it so much more than I thought I would. So glad that I decided last minute to insert USJ into my back-to-nature itinerary. And with the normal crowd on Friday, I was having a lot of fun!

Nice aquarium in Osaka with wide variety of marine life in particular the whale sharks and other large species. Can spend about 2-3 hours admiring the aquatic ecosystem and creatures. Make sure keep to the entry timing based on ticket bought.

There is a large park surrounding the castle, perfect for a pleasant walk. The castle is a popular tourist destination, so it&rsquo;s best to plan your visit in advance, as there are often long queues. Unfortunately, the interior has not preserved its historical appearance and now resembles an office building from the late 1990s. Inside, there are small exhibitions, but photography is not allowed. From the castle roof, you can enjoy a picturesque view of the city and the park below.

I had a lot of fun. I bought the triple pack where you can &quot;dive and walk,&quot; slide, and go to the observation tower.I wanted to do it in that order, but due to the language barrier and not clear directions on where to go I slid first, then observation tower, and I did &quot;dive and walk last.&quot; If you want to dive and walk first then you need to bring your QR code to an office which is about 1 min from the tower. In that office you change into your harness and helmet (and that&#39;s where you bring it back too). I loved the experience and the tower, I just would have liked to have done &quot;dive and walk&quot; first. Regardless, I had fun and recommend it.

Abeno Harukas 300 Observatory

Abeno Harukas 300 is the tallest tower in Osaka, located right next to Tennoji Station. It offers a spectacular, full 360-degree view of the whole city from its observation floors (58th to 60th).The best time to visit is around sunset watching the city lights turn on is incredible. You can enjoy the view from the glass-walled main deck, or head to the Sky Garden on the 58th floor for fresh, open-air seating, drinks, and snacks. If you want a huge thrill, you can pay extra for the Heliport Tour to stand directly on the roof! It&rsquo;s an essential and fantastic stop in Osaka.
