Things to do in Floating Garden Observatory

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.

this is a must do especially for all the cool photos you can take. the display was fun and beautiful with the castle behind it.

I highly recommend this day tour for anyone looking to experience the best of Kyoto in a single day. As the only English-speaking tourist on the bus, I was lucky to have Ms. Hama from LIMON, as my tour guide. She was incredibly dedicated and professional, ensuring I had a fantastic experience. Throughout the day, she went above and beyond, personally coming to my seat to explain the history and details of each attraction in-depth. Her knowledge and passion for Kyoto's culture made the trip even more enjoyable. If you're short on time and want to see the top sights in Kyoto, this tour is perfect, and Ms. Hama truly made it unforgettable. Thank you, Ms. Hama, for making my day in Kyoto so special!

Highly recommend booking online to avoid the long lines

The view from the observatory was breathtaking. It offered gorgeous photo backdrop. We went on Sunday morning but it was not as crowded as we expected it to be. We had Omurice in a resto at the basement which offered a variety of Japanese dining options. The vibe was kinda traditional and it was very touristy.

We were very happy with this tea ceremony. Everything was explained well and the ceremony was great!

easy to get to from train station. the registration process for booking via Klook was at separate desk so you just need to show the barcode. overall the view of Osaka was nice from onservatory deck.

Definitely buy this! was worth every penny the views at night were amazing and the shop and cafe as well as the lights were surreal! 100% recommend going sunset
