We visited this place in the evening. There were not many people around. We were asked to remove our shoes & store them in lockers on ground floor with 100 Yen coin. Then we proceeded upstairs to the spa area. Men and women are separated into different floor, and this gets swap every month. When we visited in Oct, women floor was Asian and men were European. The Asian section included different pool renovated according to different Asian themes - Japanese, Bali, etc, both indoor & outdoor, & sauna with salt & massage & facials parlour. I particularly like the Dr Spa sections with various pools with health benefits, eg, improve blood circulation, good for cardiovascular health, improving skins conditions etc. Towels & toiletries items & hair dryers are provided. However, no clothes are allowed in the spa, not even swim wear, there are small towels provided but you can't bring it into the pool. Overall, it's a great experience if you can get over being naked in the spa & I will definitely return if I am in Osaka.

This extremely popular theme park is equivalent to the Universal Studios in Hollywood and Orlando, and features shows, rides and restaurants based on famous movie themes, like Jaws, Back to the Future and Terminator.

If I was rating just the park I would of given a 4 star but due to the staff all being fantastic it’s gone up to a 5 The actual park is not the biggest and several rides are very dated now and need changing eg .... Back draft ride ... I’m 40 and even I don’t remember when that film came out or what’s it was about .... apart from fire lol Terminator 2 ride was very slow and dragged , jaws classic ride can’t fault it , Spider-Man great , The pterodactyl ride in Jurassic Park was amazing and Harry Potter world didn’t disappoint The late night parade was good and great effects We went on Feb on a week day and the Qs were only half hr max so no issues there Would recommend for a day out lots of fun and the staff were all fantastic

“HIRAKATA PARK” was established in 1912 and is the oldest amusement park in Japan. In “HIRAKATA PARK”, you might be exited all four seasons, Cherry blossoms in Spring, the pool in Summer, the red leaves in Autumn and the snow in Winter. Making everyone who visits “HIRAKATA PARK” smile is our mission.

It is a quaint traditional theme park and not crowded. While the journey there is long, the time taken was worth it as the kids enjoyed themselves very much. Not the usual Universal Studios or Disney theme parks but plenty of thrills and easy rides for the kids.
