This pass is literally an AMAZING deal!! There are 40+ experiences included and all you need to do is 2 in order for it to pay for itself. We did so much MORE because of this pass. The HEP5 Ferris wheel was something we did because of this pass. We packed in so much and transit is a breeze. Be aware however that you need to visit the Umeda Sky Building before 3pm in order to use the pass. We were not aware of that. To use the transit, be sure to use the QR code reader at the subway gate- if you have a Suica card in your Apple Wallet it will charge the Suica and not the Amazing Pass. All in all we were delighted with the savings. Seriously- buy this pass you'll save thousands of Yen!!

I was told about the Amazing Pass through a friend who just recently visited Japan and Im very glad I ended up getting the pass for my party of 4. It turned out to be very convenient and I was able to get my money's worth through all the attractions and transit fees I didn't have to pay for individually. It also encouraged us to do more in Osaka than we ha ld originally planned. I highly recommend this pass if you are able to get it.

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.

    Many cool attractions are included and traveling by metro is very uncomplicated. The fact that the Qr code expires after 1 minute is sometimes annoying
