if you’re staying in Namba this is the best transfer to visit USJ! We are traveling with kids and super easy for us instead of taking the metro. The bus is on time. You can bring your stroller. Follow us for more detailed reviews and photos @𝗠𝗢𝗠𝗠𝗬𝗖𝗛𝗥𝗜𝗦𝗭𝗬

Although it was very cold, the Osaka Castle light show at night was very beautiful. The place is not very big and you can complete it in one hour.

Although the heavy rains caused some areas to be closed, the rest of the areas were fine with clear instructions and the place was big enough to not fight with others for a check-in.

A must when you come to Osaka!!! You receive a close up one on one experience learning not only how to make ramen but all the elements involved!!! Soy sauce ramen was a hit washed down with a Lemon Sour!

Best to alot at least 2 hours to explore the garden and see all the art exhibits. I find it a bit difficult to use their app, you may instead just follow the letters A through F. We started with B and ended with A since we weren’t sure how to get to A. It all worked out since A was near the exit.
