The story telling of the history behind the castle was very interesting to read and the detail of the art work and displays are amazing when you get to the top the view is breathtaking we stayed until evening to see its glory at night and it was worth it

Osaka Castle is impressive and houses an interesting museum. When we visited the castle, none of the lifts were working, necessitating a climb of 8 floors up to take advantage of the view. The line was very long when we entered, so the Skip the Line tickets proved invaluable!

GERMAN: There was a long queue at the entrance. I spotted some people going through the entrance control with their cell phones. I logged in online, it was very easy to book the tickets online. So I was able to visit the museum immediately while waiting in line.

The castle was impressive, lots of people, a bit over crowded. Do not understand why people wait over an hr in line to buy tickets. We walked up the day of and purchased them and walked right in.

ticketing was stressful, after standing in line for 40min we were told to go to the website and pay - but it took some time for the link to be confirmed and we had to wait at the entrance gate for another 10-15min as the wi-fi was so slow. Fortunately the castle was magnificent, I had been many years ago and it was still a delight.

The line was long, at least 30 min on a weekday morning, and I was very happy to go straight to the front and into the castle with this pre-paid ticket! The castle itself was pretty cool with several floors of museum with historical info and artifacts. The view from the top floor showed most of the city.

So easy to book online, I did it at the castle and was able to avoid the long queue and go straight in with my QR code. The castle, a rebuilt version from 1931, was more like a museum but it was very interesting and the view from the 8th floor was spectacular.

The Samurai helmet picture, the details in the English audio guide, the view at the top, and the 7th floor dedicated to toyotomi hideyoshi.

Great views and history, but a pity not forewarned that the lifts weren't working. As senior citizens the 35 degrees celsius heat was very challenging!

It was easy to schedule even while other people were waiting in the line. The visit was educational and the building and grounds were spectacular.

It was super hot the day we visited...the waiting time on the line was around 45 mins. Someone shouted to us to go online and save the wait so we jumped on and we were in in 5 mins...thankyou soooo much

The online tickets was easy and simple. Saved us a lot of time upon our arrival at the castle, with a separate line to enter. The line to buy tickets in person was about 30 minutes for queue. Osaka Castle was a very nice place to visit, and understand the history of Osaka. We took the elevator up and did not miss anything, option to walk up and down the flights of stairs. The observation deck offered a great view of the city, and some fresh air. The other floors was museum style with interesting facts and artifacts. It was crowded but manageable. I was impressed that each floor had resting area with seats.

Did really gain a lot of valuable time for exploring the castle rather than standing in the long line for tickets on the spot😊

We were delighted to see Osaka Castle. To get to the Observatory Deck, I took the stairs up to the eighth story. You can take lifts up to the fifth floor. I couldn't see the remainder of the Park and Garden. I completely avoided the long queue. Worth seeing place in Osaka.

It was a long line of people to try to get into the Osaka castle. By using the app, I was able to bypass the line for a minimal upcharge. It was totally worth it, since it was a hot day. Very simple to use.
