Nice tour! - We had a wonderful walk around the grounds to learn about the castle’s history. Was not super indepth and felt the tour should maybe be a little longer and include the interior of the castle but it was still good to learn more about it!

Fun entertaining and educational! - Yusuke was kind and explained to us the story of the castle in a very entertaining way! Also he showed us and took photos of us in great spots around the castle. We really enjoyed our time. Would 100% recommend booking this tour, especially if your knowledge of Osaka Castle history is almost none :)

Wonderful introduction to Osaka Castle - Meeting Ryo was just the start of a wonderful introduction to Osaka Castle. He gave us an easy to understand history of the castle and took 4 great camera shots for us along the walk. Strongly recommend this for all.

Quick and knowledgeable tour - Went on this quick castle tour by myself because my wife wanted to stay in the hotel. This tour was very short yet had so much information for such a great price. I would recommend this to anyone that wants a quick tour and wants to do something else after the tour

Great job santa - My friends and I decided to do this walking tour because we thought we could do the other sites of Osaka by ourselves. For the castle, we learned so much about the history it has to it. But what made this tour special was our guide Santa (and yes his actual name is Santa) He explained the historical information very well as he has perfect English. We will probably do another tour with him when we are back in Japan
