    Excellent choice for beating crowds

    Rebecca_T, Oct 2025
    Our tour guide Suzu, was engaging, gentle and knowledgeable. She gave us an excellent run down of the structural and historical components of the castle precinct with grace and amiability. We highly recommend beating the crowds and would choose her every time.

    Beat the Crowds!

    Beat the crowds! A great tour with Megumi in the morning. We finished just before the castle opened so timing was perfect. Megumi was a delightful tour guide.

    Best Osaka Castle Tour!
