What other travelers are saying about Osaka Museum of History
Pretty interesting as far as museums go. Loved all the dioramas, they helped me get a feel for different aspects of life back in old Japan. Beautiful art work. Displays were very well done. But you know Japan, they do everything very well.
They also have a decent gift shop.
When purchasing tickets, you have a choice of seeing everything or just access to certain floors. We did the "everything" ticket. I mean, it's not like we were going to be back anytime soon so might as well.
It also had a great birds' eye view of Osaka Castle as it was located adjacent to the castle.
Detailed history of the region given over several floors of the NHK building. Views not only provide sights of Osaka, but a birds eye view of Osaka castle. Displays containing pieces of the areas history, and detailed examples of life during each period. Worth a visit.
The 600 Yen admission fee included the 10th floor (start) down to the 6th floor. Very well done exhibits and interesting history of the Osaka area.
Great view of the Osaka Castle as well. Plenty of restrooms and seats to relax in on each floor. Souvenir shop on the ground floor.
Nice attraction to visit in Osaka.
Super awesome way to learn local history. Broken into very specific time periods on each floor. Worth spending a few hours wandering. Some sections make you feel as though you’re living in the history structural replicas and scenic walls. Very organized path to follow through, and there’s even an exhibit dedicated to archeology! Mainly to teach kiddos but can be fun for all ages!
Interesting museum dedicated to the history of Osaka, from the 6th century to modern times. Although it offers a lot of knowledge, the museum's focus on a single theme may not be suitable for the broadest audience. Nonetheless, the facility is clean, the exhibits are beautifully displayed, and entry is affordable at 600 yen. It’s also a good place to escape the heat of a hot day. The view of Osaka Castle from the 10th floor is spectacular, although a designated photo area without window reflections would enhance the experience.
