    At any Universal Studios location, it's worth spending a whole day with the whole family. A special reminder: Mario rides are the most popular, so allow plenty of time to explore them. Expect queues of about an hour for each ride. Here are some things everyone should be aware of.

    Aquarium is amazing and well maintained, my only problem were people who kept taping on glass and sticking their faces bothering fishes. There should be sign that glass should not be touched (especially for all grown up people who were doing it)

    There weren't many highlights. It was a reconstruction of an old building, which explains why there were so many modern architectural details. There was a lot of explanatory material, but not many original artifacts; it seems that apart from the foundation, there's not much from the Toyotomi Hideyoshi era. The extra stone museum ticket wasn't really worth it. You just go in, look at the pile of stones from the foundation, and then leave. The Japanese are really something—they managed to put together an exhibition of such a small amount of material.

    It's good value for money, and guests staying at the ART Hotel get a 50% discount. The onsen (hot spring) is open from 11:00 AM to 11:00 PM; don't go too early. There's a local Japanese supermarket and a duty-free shop down the escalator at the onsen entrance. Nearby are also Wagyu beef barbecue and a delicious conveyor belt sushi restaurant (it's very popular, so be prepared to queue).

    Nice and clean hotel/spa in the popular tourist area, Shinsekai and Tsutenkaku area. Mega Don Quijote Shinsekai, famous Spa world hotel and resort Osaka and several nearby metro lines make it very convenient for solo or families travellers.Strict rules od no tattoo is allowed/tolerated in the Onsen area. Enjoy!!

    Very interesting children's playground. Both of my children like it (7 years old and 14 years old). The main play floors are 3-5. The 5th floor mainly has a super large bubble machine, which can cover children in bubbles, and there is a ninja dart experience. You can also buy a small bag with stamps on both sides. The 4th floor is a fun castle with a very delicate design. It is connected to the tubular slide on the 5th floor. You can experience various climbing exercises, as well as professional experiences such as police and postmen. The baby can also play house with props. The 3rd floor is a creative classroom. I arrived late and didn't go there. The overall environment is worth the trip. I recommend everyone to go there.

    Highly recommended!!! 😭 25 yuan is a steal, and you won't feel cheated. The bird enclosure is like walking into a park, so comfortable. The zoo is super clean, with no overpowering odors, and the water is crystal clear, probably due to the excellent water circulation! The red pandas are incredibly well-cared for, like chubby babies. There's also the punk goat, hahahaha, and the hippo 🦛🦛🦛 is so adorable! The surrounding shops are also great, I even bought a little hippo plush (。・ω・。) The only downside is that we went a little late, so we couldn't see the animals in detail, and some had already gone home. Plus, the zoo is still under construction and expansion, which is fantastic!

    The general tour from the 10th floor to the 6th floor costs 600 yen. The construction history of Osaka Castle began in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. It was greatly influenced by ancient China. The maids' dress, etiquette, and specifications make people feel as if they have traveled back to the ancient Tang Dynasty of China. When you go to a city, you must visit the city's museum

    Highly recommend this amusement park! You can play from opening to closing time. They have a beautiful light show at night now 🤩 It's also very convenient to get there from Osaka city center via the Keihan Line. I bought a one-day pass on Ctrip, which I exchanged directly upon arrival – no waiting at all, super convenient! There are many rides to choose from, from small children to older kids. The lines aren't long during the day, but they get very long in the evening, so the wait can be a bit tiring 😓 There are plenty of benches and places to eat in the park, so it's easy to find a place to rest if you get tired.
