Osaka is one of the most famous tour spots in Japan for not only foreigners but also Japanese people. There are lots of places where I want you all to visit, such as, Osaka-Castle, Tsutenkaku Tower, and more. However, I often hear that many people concern about trip expense in Japan even though they want to enjoy going as many places as they can afford. In this article, I will introduce you about one amazing pass that save your money to go to these famous spots in Osaka. You can get the ticket at Kansai International Airport, and the ticket will help you to save your money besides going to many famous tour spots by discounting prices.

 

1. The Location Where You Can Purchase The Pass

 

Before moving on to explain about the ticket, let’s check where you can purchase after going through custom service. When you come out from either North Arrival Gate or South Arrival Gate, you head center of the airport for reaching No.26 on the map above. That is the place where you can buy the ticket that I am going to introduce you today. For your information, if you have any questions regarding trip here in Japan, you better ask at the Tourist Information Desk of Kansai. Once you purchase this pass and ask questions that you wonder, you are totally ready to go sightseeing in Osaka.

 

 

2. What Is The Amazing Pass?

The ticket that I am going to introduce today is called Osaka Amazing Pass. They have two types of tickets, 1-day pass and 2-days pass. I recommend you to purchase 2-days pass if you have enough time to stay for two days in Osaka. There are three amazing features of this ticket. First of all, you can ride buses and trains unlimitedly with the pass almost anywhere in Osaka prefecture in the day you use. Secondly, you can enjoy about 35 sightseeing spots for free, including my favorite place Osaka-Castle. Lastly, you also can receive benefits at 25 facilities & 67 shops.
Osaka Amazing Pass is a set of one card pass (you can choose unlimited times of rides for 1 day or 2 days) with barcode for getting three incredible benefits explained above, and a guidebook with Coupons, which make your journey more fun. You can use it on any day you like from April 1, 2017 to April 30, 2018. Let’s see each feature from next chapter.

 

 

3. Feature No.1

Its one amazing feature is what you can use enough municipal subway and bus lines to visit almost anywhere in Osaka in a day.

You can explore the town of Osaka in the late Edo period that was replicated to the actual size. You also can try on Japanese traditional clothing (Kimono) by paying some additional money. Taking pictures with Kimono must be your unforgettable memory.

Second option is Tomobori River Cruise.
