Even though the main hall was destroyed by fire in 2019, Shurijo Castle is still really impressive while it's being rebuilt.

Odakyu Limited Express Romancecar
The Odakyu Limited Express Romancecar, operated by Odakyu Electric Railway, is an all-seat limited express train with a history of more than 80 years, having its roots in the "Weekend Onsen Express" that operated non-stop between Shinjuku and Odawara in the 1930s.
The observation seats have a great view, but you need to book early.
It’s a bit more expensive than a regular train, but totally worth it! -
Tower of Osaka Castle
Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who unified the country during the Azuchi-Momoyama period (1568-1600), began construction of the tower of Osaka Castle in 1583 and completed it in 1585. The castle was later destroyed during the Osaka Natsu no Jin（summer campaign of Osaka） in 1615, but was rebuilt by the Tokugawa Shogunate in 1626. However, the castle keep was destroyed by lightning in 1665. In 1931, the castle tower of the Toyotomi period was reconstructed with donations from Osaka citizens.
The museum inside is actually pretty interesting. You can learn a lot about the castle's history and stories.

Warner Bros. Studio Tour Tokyo - The Making of Harry Potter
This entirely new walk-through attraction lets you experience how the "Harry Potter" and "Fantastic Beasts" films were made. It is the first of its kind in Asia and the largest indoor Harry Potter attraction in the world.
The costumes and props are incredibly detailed. You can really tell a lot of effort went into everything.
