I absolutely loved using the Osaka Day Pass during my trip! It made exploring the city so easy, convenient, and fun. For one simple price, I could hop on trains, subways, and buses without worrying about extra tickets, which saved me both time and money. What I really enjoyed was how stress-free it made my day. I could just focus on discovering Osaka’s amazing sights, from historic landmarks to lively shopping streets and delicious food spots. The pass also came with discounts at many attractions, which was such a nice bonus. If you’re planning to see a lot of Osaka in a short time, I highly recommend the Osaka Day Pass. It’s not only practical but also gives you a sense of freedom to enjoy the city at your own pace. It definitely added extra joy to my trip!

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!!

The Osaka Amazing Pass was definiately worth it for the price. I wanted to hit more attractions but there was so much to do that I couldn't hit everything I wanted within two days. The pass made it easier to go through the lines since everything was pre-purchased and some places had a line specifically for e-passes. The train and bus passes were helpful as well, however the pass didn't work for the Osaka Loop since it was considered a JR pass. It worth for all other major lines within the City though which pretty much allowed me to reach every part of the City with one pass.

Visit the Osaka Castle Main Tower for free with this 'amazing' pass! Walk through historical displays and enjoy the city view from the observation floor.

Get access to the Toyotomi Stone Wall Museum. See the original stones and learn how the massive walls of Osaka Castle were built and preserved.

We used the Osaka Amazing Pass (2-Day) and really liked it! It made getting around so easy, and we could visit places like Osaka Castle and the zoo for free. Even though we didn’t use all the attractions, it was still totally worth it just for the convenience and transport access. Highly recommend it if you want to explore Osaka without worrying about tickets or transportation!

The pass was good and gave us access to a number of attractions in Osaka. I personally thought accessing the pass via the website all the time time consuming, being able to download to your wallet would be far easier. Also some information wasn't available until you activated the pass which did cause us to pay for something we thought was included. Would we buy again? Yes
