It’s a must to get the tickets online else you will spend at least half an hour queuing to purchase the tickets.

It's really helpful to buy tickets online. The queues at the ticket booths are incredibly long. Luckily, I bought online; I just had to go in and show my ticket without wasting time. Saved time 💕 Worth It

Osaka Castle is a beautiful historical site with a great atmosphere, and visiting the observation deck at the top is definitely worth it for the wonderful city view. I would really recommend booking tickets online in advance, because the queue for buying tickets on the spot can be quite long, especially on weekends or holidays. Inside the castle, it can get quite crowded and the stairways going up and down are narrow, so it may feel a bit packed at times. Also, please note that there are some floors (like the 2nd and 3rd floors) where photography is not allowed, which might be disappointing for those who want to capture every part of the experience. One thing that could be improved is that there’s no priority route for elderly visitors, so the stairs and crowd can be a bit challenging for them. Overall, it’s still a memorable visit with a great view and a strong sense of history — just be prepared for the crowds and plan ahead by reserving tickets online.

When I arrived, there were a lot of people queuing for tickets. Luckily, I remembered I could buy them on the app, so I could go in straight away without queuing, haha.

Very orderly but just that attraction is a little too crowded.

The app was incredibly easy to purchase tickets. While others were waiting in long lines, we bought our tickets online at the Castle gate, then simply showed our receipt and we were in!

It was so nice and amazing but There was super crowded as you can see, for the expensive price i thought it was not really worthy. You have to take stairs until the 7th floor which is tiring because no escalator and elevator used only for disabled, pregnant women and the elderly. There are floors which you cant take picture at all so i think its not worth the hype

Was so much fun, nice history storytelling. Many souvenir shops, staffs are helpful and friendly.

For those who have purchased tickets online, there is a special lane without having to queue with those who purchased tickets onsite. The garden at Osaka Castle is beautiful for taking pictures.

Highly advise to buy ticket in advance as there is a very long que for go show visitors

Went whoosh and passed the ticketing queue using the ticket. A great historical museum for me personally.

It is recommended to buy tickets online to avoid queues at the manual counter The staff are very helpful and the location instructions are very complete

The ticket exchange process is very fast and the staff is also helpful. No need to make a reservation in advance, and there is a special line for online booking.

Stunning place ! you can pay 300yen to ride mini bus to castle, if you dont want walk to go in front of Castle.
