Osaka questions
Is 5 days enough for Osaka?
Five days covers Osaka plus a Nara day trip and Universal Studios Japan. Use ICOCA cards on JR and subway lines to move between areas quickly.
Do I need to book Universal Studios Japan ahead?
Buy tickets online at least two weeks before your visit. Arrive at opening and use the timed-entry system to reduce wait times.
How do I get from Osaka to Nara?
Take the Kintetsu line from Osaka-Namba to Kintetsu-Nara (about 40 minutes), which drops you closest to the park, or JR from Osaka Station to JR Nara. Both cost under 1,000 yen each way.
Do I need reservations for Osaka Castle?
No advance booking is required for the grounds or castle exterior. Pay 600 yen on site if you want to enter the castle museum.
