Osaka is always one of the most popular places to visit for the tourists.
To enjoy your stay in Osaka, I would like to share one tip with you.
"Buy the one-day pass ticket, it will save a lot of time and hopefully money"
What is Osaka Amazing Pass?
Osaka Amazing Pass is a one-day pass ticket that you can use for both transportation and facilities like the museum.
Let's take a look at it in detail.
The price is 2,800 JPY and this price covers below
- All of the Osaka Metro Line
- Local TrainLines ( Hankyu, Keihan, Hanshin, Nankai )
- more than 30 facilities
Regarding the detail of the lines that you can use, please refer Osaka Amazing Pass official website.
If you want to use JR ( Japan Railway ) as well, you would probably be smart to go for a Japan rail pass ticket.
If you do not know what it is, details and the reason why you definitely should have is written in All you need to know about Japan rail pass ticket -Do I need a reservation? Does it cover bullet trains? Is it cheap?
To sum up, here, a double ticket (Japan Rail pass + Osaka Amazing Pass) is the most clever idea to make your trip smooth and comfortable.
From my point of view, one day pass covers pretty much important stations for sightseeing, so I think a one-day pass would be something enough for you.
If you want to go for the 2 days pass, it will cost 3,600 JPY.
This one will be suitable if you know where specifically you are going, and you know that you will need 2 days to complete that itinerary, otherwise, you won't get the benefit from the price you pay.
Where can I use it?
If you access the Osaka Amazing Pass official website, you can search all of the facilities you can enter for free with this one-day pass.
Here are some recommendations to visit.
- 08 The National Museum of Art, Osaka
- 12 Kamigata Ukiyoe Museum
- 25 Osaka Castle Museum (one and only Osaka Castle !!!)
- 26 Osaka Castle Nishinomaru Garden
- 33 Osaka Museum of History
The reason why I have chosen above is that Osaka is a very developed city but at the same time, there are so many places where you can learn and experience the history and culture of Japan.
If you are very open-minded about learning new things, especially foreign cultures, those places will excite and surprise you a lot.
How about One Day Pass in Tokyo?
There is a one-day pass in Tokyo as well.
There are several types, so depending on your itinerary, you want to decide which one to buy.
Please refer to All you need to know about the Tokyo day train pass: JR, Tokyo Metro, and Tokyo Subway to know more about one-day passes in Tokyo.
Cheers to you all and I wish you a safe trip to Japan.
