    I went specifically for the Nintendo area, and the Fastpass for all five attractions, plus the entrance fee, was quite expensive. The crowds during the National Day holiday were less than I expected, so I didn't get in at the very top of the gates. The weather was unpredictable, rainy and overcast, but thankfully none of the attractions were closed. The Toad Restaurant was adorably decorated, but the food was a bit pricey. The Harry Potter castle walk in the Harry Potter area showed some detail; I recommend this less-visited attraction.

    Abeno Harukas 300 is the tallest tower in Osaka, located right next to Tennoji Station. It offers a spectacular, full 360-degree view of the whole city from its observation floors (58th to 60th).The best time to visit is around sunset watching the city lights turn on is incredible. You can enjoy the view from the glass-walled main deck, or head to the Sky Garden on the 58th floor for fresh, open-air seating, drinks, and snacks. If you want a huge thrill, you can pay extra for the Heliport Tour to stand directly on the roof! It’s an essential and fantastic stop in Osaka.

    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 is a shopping street with a long history. It is an excellent place to explore the common people’s culture in Osaka, Japan. The small shops on both sides are full of nostalgic style of the times. A dazzling array of products and various specialty shops, There are also very exaggerated signboards, which can take many good photos. It is also a concentrated place for fried skewers. You can feel the local people’s eating and party habits.

    Route Planning: Shinsaibashi is a large area with a dense concentration of shops. It's recommended to determine your main destinations in advance and roughly follow the route: "Shinsaibashi-suji Shopping Street → Daimaru/PARCO → American Village → Dotonbori" to avoid backtracking. Payment and Tax Refund: Most shops and restaurants now accept Alipay and WeChat Pay, which is very convenient. Large department stores and drugstores generally offer tax-free shopping; remember to bring your passport. Best Time to Visit: It's recommended to start your visit in the late afternoon. This allows you to experience the daytime hustle and bustle while also enjoying the most dazzling night view – a win-win situation. Transportation: The subway is very convenient. Shinsaibashi Station is a transfer station for multiple lines, and the shopping area is directly accessible from the station exit.

    You absolutely have to take a picture of the Glico sign! [Smart!] It's a great photo opportunity! Dotonbori Street is bustling with restaurants and shops, and everyone eats and shops. Along the street, you'll see all sorts of eye-catching giant 3D signs—crabs, octopuses, and so on—with unique designs that you can tell what they sell right away. Hahaha.

    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).

    The Tempozan Ferris Wheel was once the largest, tallest, and most technologically advanced Ferris wheel in the world. It completes a full rotation in about 15 minutes. What's even more unique is that after dark, the Ferris wheel's illumination displays the following day's weather forecast: red for sunny, green for cloudy, and blue for rain.
