    It was great! Had so many inclusions ! We enjoyed the experiences more than anything! Got to go to a Giant ferris wheel, ride on the Osaka metro. Enjoyed the Osaka castle. There were probably few other things I'm sure we missed. Wish it had a little more specifics about what it included especially with the activities and Trains.. for example did you know it doesn't include the entirety of the nankai line? Especially out to izumisano. More details on what's included would be great so people who like to be prepared know what they're in for and can plan and accommodate.

    We made it so the ticket was well worth it. We traveled by bus and visited many facilities, like osaka castle, history museum, Kinutani art museum, ferris wheel...

    We had a great day at the Castle. The skip the line tickets saved us over 30 minutes queuing in the brilliant sunshine. We walked straight up to the gate, showed our tickets, straight in and to the top of the tower. The view is beautiful. Definitely worth it to pre book

    We stayed in Osaka for 3 days and purchased the 2-day pass and boy, did we make the most of it! We travelled on the metro, visited as many sites as we could and got the discounts on other attractions and food - well worth it!!
