Best to skip this place when it's raining or you'll just end up seeing the back of your brolly and bang into other people who keep stopping to take photos underneath theirs.
Another large and confusing train station. Always check if it's the correct train before you board.
It's not crowded so you can take your time here. Came at night for some amazing views on a clear day.
Great relaxing cruise with lovely views. Go for the twilight one to see all the lights of Osaka come on at night.
Good views and not crowded. No waiting time if you take the normal gondolas, average of 25 mins for glass gondolas. Two of us had one cabin to ourselves.
DIY all-you-can-eat kushikatsu buffet for 90 mins. Fresh meat, great experience. Went away with full and happy tummies.
Pop in with your Osaka Amazing Pass! Great views of Osaka Castle from the top floor. The exhibits and displays are well-made.
On weekends they will open up the inside of the turret buildings for tours. Great history lesson!
The grounds are really nice for a walk or run! Crowded but the dioramas are worth a peek. Good views from the top, follow the flow cos it's very narrow.
A newer operator further up the river, not as crowded. Don't expect pirate stories though. Covered by the Osaka Amazing Pass.
Great place to see the nightlife of Dotonbori. There are street performances along the walk too.
Grab a light bite of takoyaki here! Freshly grilled by only one woman so you'll have to wait.
Connected at the basement to the Tennoji subway station on Midosuji line. Really convenient. Room rates affordable.
After walking to the subway from the JR station, head to the ticket office on the right of the fare gates to pick up your Osaka Amazing Pass. Well worth it.
Fantastic shop with mind-boggling array of ekiben. Recommended to grab one to bring on your Shinkansen journey!
Come early before the Totoro cream puffs are sold out! Only place in the world licensed to produce these cute puffs!
Not crowded, we practically had a two-person private go kart tour with our guide. Friendly service and a really awesome experience! Highly recommended! They'll take free photos during the drive too.
No waiting time in the evening, good to sit in the capsule and slow down your day watching deep sea monsters.
Don't need to understand Japanese to enjoy the shows here. Genie always entertains, magic show with good fun all around.
Whizz around the water in this fun ride! If it's drizzling lightly just put on a hoodie to ride, no wait times!
Fantastic 3D shooting game with all the toys in Toy Story, find your best strategy for a high score! Were lucky enough to queue only for 30 mins for this awesome ride.
