It was great! Had so many inclusions ! We enjoyed the experiences more than anything! Got to go to a Giant ferris wheel, ride on the Osaka metro. Enjoyed the Osaka castle. There were probably few other things I'm sure we missed. Wish it had a little more specifics about what it included especially with the activities and Trains.. for example did you know it doesn't include the entirety of the nankai line? Especially out to izumisano. More details on what's included would be great so people who like to be prepared know what they're in for and can plan and accommodate.
Smooth, good organization. Amazing architecture. Love the art show too.
Very nice view, cool escalator up and down, was lucky not to be there with too many people
I could skip the waiting line and used the fast lane for the Osaka Castle, also I saved a lot ön transportation.
The highlight of my visit was
Waiting time was not too long in the qeue
Amazing night view ✨️ 🌃 🌠 🌙
Awesome and worth it experience!!
Loved the ease of use - skipping long queues was a definite bonus, and the cost saving to all the sights included was also appreciated
It was a good oportunity to vizit Osaka. Unfortunately the train tickets does not worked and the security personell did now new how to help US. Also, we did not new that at osaka tower tichete were Free ulyil 15.00 hour. This are our complai ts. Best regards!
Very good it was working very well Not faced event single trouble during 2 days usage We have covered maximum places using this card
The building is beautiful and really takes your breath away the first time you look up and see it. The lift on the way up is not for the faint hearted. Look away if you don't like heights!
Highly recommend this pass—it covers a wide range of activities and attractions. I suggest getting the 2-day option, as it allows you to explore all over Osaka with ease. I didn’t have to wait in line for anything
The Umeda Ski Tower was an excellent experience. Highly recommended. (However getting the ticket through Headout made it difficult. I had to load up an app on my phone to get a pass voucher which couldn't even be printed correctly and therefore couldn't scanned properly for a real ticket. Basically I paid more to be inconvienced by using the Headout. Headout app is now off my phone and I won't make the mistake of dealing with Headout again.)
A great variety of experiences to use with the pass. We felt we had a great couple of days and saw everything we wanted . Brilliant value and easy to use . I enjoyed the sky building the most
COnvienent. Also shorter (no) ticket line at Osaka castle. WOuld have been great, but there is no Wifi and data reception at the turnstiles in Ebisuchō Station. I had to go to an exit and run back to the turnstile before 60 seconds was up.
It was quick and easy to order and receive the ticket however ended up being more expensive than if we bought it at the Umeda Sky Building.
Excellent value. Easy to use once you realise that you use the train / facilities ticket for the principle attractions, not just the train. Only problem is that the QT code is only valid for use for 1 minute after loading, which is easily reset, but we did come to one station where there was no mobile or WiFi coverage which is needed each time to generate the codes
The experience was excellent and with the tickets we were able to do many activities and save money. I recommend using the pass to anyone going to Osaka.

It was fantastic! Free buses, Free Metros, many attractions. Awesome experience at a minimal cost. I think one day is not enough. I recommend a two day travel to cover everything available in Osaka. Top pick.
We made it so the ticket was well worth it. We traveled by bus and visited many facilities, like osaka castle, history museum, Kinutani art museum, ferris wheel...
We had a great day at the Castle. The skip the line tickets saved us over 30 minutes queuing in the brilliant sunshine. We walked straight up to the gate, showed our tickets, straight in and to the top of the tower. The view is beautiful. Definitely worth it to pre book
We stayed in Osaka for 3 days and purchased the 2-day pass and boy, did we make the most of it! We travelled on the metro, visited as many sites as we could and got the discounts on other attractions and food - well worth it!!
Being able to go straight in was awesome as there was a huge line for tickets. The sites were great as well. Thanks so much for the easy experience!
Everything was OK, and not really your problem but using the transport barcode was a little difficult for 3 people. Could not find a way to send the barcode to the other parties. Otherwise all good.

I loved every minute of it! It was not very crowded, not very hot, for the food we didn't have to wait at all. Ok, it was Monday. I loved the attractions, the mood... everything.
My favorite attraction is Harry Potter ans thé forbiden journey My favorite part of the Park is Super Mario World And my ride with the best atmosphere is Jurassic Park thé ride

Excellent visit to universal Osaka. Only negative is you either need two days to see the park unless you buy express pass. The negative is the express passes are almost twice the price on average of park admission.
The whole venue was excellent we were there from 915am till close. However the crowds were to much and too many people jammed in attractions, need better crowd control and better access it was hot and no shade lining up for 40 -60+ mins is unacceptable.
Had a great experience and it is a beautiful place to visit. I will definitely come back. The rides were great and the shows were awesome. Staff were very friendly.
Incredible place, suggest you book two full days to explore and see the shows on offer. Everything organized and clean. Central restaurant with good food at a fair price. We'll definitely be back.

Amazing experience! We arrived at 8:00 AM (the park opened at 8:30), which gave us a great head start. As soon as we got in, we headed straight to Super Nintendo World and enjoyed every bit of it. The longest wait was for Donkey Kong — but totally worth it! We stayed until 9:00 PM and managed to do all the thrill rides and scream-worthy attractions. Our top favorites: The Flying Dinosaur, Hollywood Dream, and Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey — absolutely unforgettable! We visited Universal Studios as a family with two teenagers, and it was definitely one of the highlights of our trip to Japan!
The Harry Potter World was fantastic and unbeatable better then anything else. So nice Souvenirs, but unfortunatly seriously a way to expensiv. Easy ticket entrance and nice and friendly staff. I was heaps dissapointed from the Super Mario World Rides tho. Not worth it at all to wait in a queue for that! The queues in generell were to long, we missed out on heaps of things because of that. But those details in the Mario world were awesome, good on you! the Jurassic World and Harry potter world were my favourites
Very good experience!!! I was looking forward to go, because I could realize my dream of knowing the Nintendo world, especially for my favorite game. donkey was the best of life. Thank you very much, it was easy to make the purchase and also fulfills what one contracts. Regards

Selection of rides at the park was very good. We particularly liked rides that were a little different like backdrop and koopa karts. We missed out on Minecraft madness because the ride broke down and there was no indication if we would be able to get on if we stayed. The nintendo world area was spectacular but too busy to really be enjoyable for us Otherwise
The rides and shows are great but you can't experience very many due to over admittance and even the areas you have to reserve time for are over crowded.
The Nintendo area was spectacular and the roaming performers were excellent. I loved the characters coming out to meet the visitors and noticed how they took time to talk to individual children. The staff were exceptional and always polite and smiling. We enjoyed the Water World show however we struggled to find other performances because we couldn't figure out what happened where. We spent a lot of time looking at maps. The crowds were excessive. It took so long in lines and to walk around which meant we really did not cover most of the park. My phone ran out of power and the Charge Spot did not accept Australian PayPal cards. I know we are in Japan but some English translation would have been good on the shows. I would have bought an express pass but was unsure what it provided.
Easy to access, tickets were available in e-version on the app. Easy passage through the gate with QR code to enter the park. Park with magnificent scenery. Japanese staff are welcoming, smiling and caring. The attractions are immersive. Marioland is extra ordinary, even though it's crowded! Remember to reserve a time slot to access it with the USJ app. Meals are accessible. We had an excellent day.

View is awesome, elevator is really cool, entrance fee is honestly a bit high... but can recommend anyway. Unique views of Osaka.
What a view! Stunning 360-degree panoramic views of the city. With its distinctive design, this building is a widely recognized landmark!
Although bought a ticket in advance I was confronted by long queues. Maybe if tickets are bought in advance they could be scheduled for a certain time to reduce waiting times Also the window viewing area had seats in most parts & it was difficult to get to see the views in some parts due to people sitting at the windows & obstructing the views. I accept people want to take in the views but what was frustrating was that most of the people who were sitting in these parts were not even looking at the views but were sat glued to their mobile phone looking at internet posts. I would suggest remove these seats to away from the windows so that people who have come to take in the views can do so without having to look over people hunched over their phones.
The tower views were amazing and the snaks and drinks facilities were nice.
Quick efficient service, able to complete online.
Good views, kind staff, easy to find. Just have separate lines for QR and ticket office at main entrance
Amazing views. Very organized. Fast access and exit.
Impressive building. Queue was long, but you can another entrance in the other tower
It was good. The view from the floor with the ticket counter is almost the same and free.
Stunning architecture and the ticketing with Headout was very easy.
Great price and smooth booking procedures for a fantastic visit
Great views over city, Harukas during the day, Umeda in the evening. Umeda was rather crowded but nightview was awesome
great. .
was able to go outside to get pictures, staff were all very good
Everything went well, we were satisfied. 😁

Nice having all in one but not sure I would buy again as rail is not expensive and there is no where near enough time in one day to do a fraction of the sights - we basically just did the castle so I expect for this ticket paid way, way more that we would have.
Great to visit the great history site.
Amazing value for money! Very easy to use once you work it out. So many experiences included!!

I enjoyed visiting the Expo and I entered several small pavilions. The only problem was the very long lines at many important pavilions, which made me skip them. This is a pity. Perhaps they should use some numbered ticket entrance line, or something similar.
