    The purchase was confirmed quickly, which was very convenient. The 1.5-day ticket provided a better experience at Universal Studios. The first day was fortunately not too crowded, allowing me to fully enjoy my favorite rides, while the second day was more relaxed. The park's smiling staff made all my worries disappear, resulting in a very pleasant experience.

    The Umeda Sky Building is definitely a must-visit spot. It offers a unique experience that sets it apart from other towers in Osaka. The ride up to the observatory deck on the escalator is something you won't forget. Make sure to check out the open-air deck too, where you'll get a completely different view of the city compared to the glass-enclosed observatory deck. We went early, right when it opened, and there were no crowds. But by the time we left an hour later, about 50 people were waiting in line. So, it's a good idea to pre-book your tickets. Another highlight was the Koji Kinutani Tenku Art Museum in the East Building. The exhibition offered a special glimpse into Japanese art. The 3-D show was a fantastic introduction, weaving all the art pieces into a story before we saw the individual paintings. A delightful surprise was the café. It was empty when we arrived, and we enjoyed a window seat with a view of the Osaka skyline while sipping fresh drinks and savoring tokoyaki.

    There is a large park surrounding the castle, perfect for a pleasant walk. The castle is a popular tourist destination, so it’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.

    Highly recommended! Once out of the subway station is up to the 16th floor directly with the QR code to exchange tickets and then wait for the lift and then go up to the platform with chairs to sit and look at the view is super great! Grab the book and you should be able to sit there all day!

    came here because of the slide, it’s popular so it took quite a long time to queue for the slide, but it was fun, just took seconds from top to bottom. there were also some shops around, you could find some to eat and some to buy for souvenir, worth spending a day there to have fun.

    There are several bathtubs, and an outdoor foot bath area. However, there weren't enough thick coats available for going outside; I only got one on my second trip outside. The weather was quite cold outside, and without a thick coat, it was really not warm enough. After soaking, you can buy milk drinks. There are also some games to play indoors; I tried the claw machine but didn't win anything.

    Located on one side of the Osaka City Museum of Natural History, it covers a large area and is very beautiful when it blooms in spring. The trails surrounding the pond are very comfortable. Many people run here and the environment is good.
