Excellent Castle

carkeys1, Mar 2026

Excellent location to visit. Be sure to start at the top floor and see all of the exhibits. They have some extremely old documents and artifacts.

They canceled our tickets...

Ruth_C, Mar 2026

They canceled our tickets last minute even though we reserved a day and time way ahead of time but have not refunded our money. We went to the spot anyway to walk around it and it was totally open, beautiful weather. People were going in and having a great time, but not us because Viator never gave us tickets! Very unhappy!

Stunning exploration of...

Lora_B, Oct 2025

Stunning exploration of the Kii Peninsula’s key spiritual sites and natural beauty along the Kumano pilgrimage. Unfortunately, we we’re unimpressed with the assigned personal tour guide.

Osaka Castle is great but DO NOT book with this tour operator

Katy_L, Sep 2025

While the Osaka castle was a great experiences, I would never book with this tour operator again and that is the main reason I am writing this review. The listing says you will receive the ticket voucher a day before your scheduled tour but I did not and I had to reach out myself to ask for the voucher. When I did so, all I got was a one liner “will send shortly” and then her proceeded to send it 4 HOURS later and it only send 6 adults, 3 youth even though we paid for 6 adults, 3 youth, 2 children. I emailed twice asking where the 2 youth tickets were with no response. This tour operator was horrible and it was so stressful wondering if my kids were going to get in (the “youth” tickets were for the teens we had with us) and it turns out that my kids were FREE (the Osaka Castle website confirms jr high age and below are free) yet this tour operator CHARGED us! I cannot believe Viator allows this to happen. I have screenshot proof of this and the lack of communication from the vendor in case he disputes any of this information I have posted. Please go to the Osaka Castle, just do NOT book with this tour operator as there are many other professional options.
