  • Osaka Castle’s main tower has its own ticket and last-entry rules. Park access does not mean every garden, tower or additional exhibition is included.Source: Osaka Castle · checked Sep 2026

Temple and street time

  • Shitennō-ji’s central precinct, garden and treasure facilities have different visiting arrangements. Choose which areas you want rather than assuming one ticket covers everything.Source: Shitennō-ji · checked Sep 2026

How this plan was made: Tripwoa's planner drafted the day order from real coordinates and typical visit times. Each stop was then reviewed, reordered where needed and rewritten with AI assistance. Walking distances are straight-line estimates, so allow a little extra time on real streets.
