I bought it just before entering Osaka Castle. I recommend buying it in advance because you don't have to wait in line to buy tickets on the day, so you can enter smoothly. There were about 100 people in the line to buy tickets on the day at 9:00. (30 minute wait) There are a lot of foreign tourists, so it's better to buy in advance.

It is very convenient to exchange physical tickets in Nagoya. It is very convenient to go to the Kintetsu ticket office. You can go to Nahanazato and Nagashima outlets. There are free buses and it is very cost-effective.
