Osaka Sky Vista Open-Top City Tour Bus Ticket (Departing from Osaka Station)

With a panoramic view,
Osaka Sky Vista

Take a tour of Osaka's famous spots on an open-top double-decker bus. Unlike when you see it from the ground, you can see the road signs and trees surprisingly close, feel the breeze of the four seasons, and enjoy the illuminations of Dotonbori, Osaka Castle, and the feast of lights.

If you want to see a 360-degree panoramic view of Osaka, reserve the "Osaka Sky Vista Double-Decker Open Bus" with WAUG right now.


Learn about the history of your destination with an audio guide

During the ride, a GPS multilingual audio guide is provided that explains the history of tourist attractions and the origins of place names. It supports English, Chinese, and Korean, so don't worry if you don't know Japanese! You can view Osaka's famous spots from a wider perspective with the audio guide service that is available for rent when you board the bus. In addition, there is free Wi-Fi and you can leave your large luggage on the bus, which is convenient.


I can feel the seasons

The prejudice that Osaka's streets are always the same is NO! In spring, you can enjoy the beautiful cherry blossoms of the Mint and Sakuranomiya, and in winter from early November to December, if you take the special night view train, you can see the streets sparkling with Midosuji's illuminations that seem to cut through the light.

The view of Osaka from the open-top double-decker bus is a new experience every time you ride it, and you never get tired of it.
