All you need to know about stretching the yen with Osaka Amazing Pass

From Dotonbori’s gigantic and colorful models of crabs, sushi and dumplings, to the ultra modern-looking Osaka Station at Umeda, Osaka is a character filled city with an edge that keeps attracting hordes of travelers. Osaka is also where you should go for the best of Japanese street food, and kuidaore, which means to eat until you go bankrupt! The city’s nooks and corners are filled with little food establishments, and so, holds the reputation for being “Japan’s kitchen”.

Am I eligible for the Osaka Amazing Pass?

Osaka

Unlike the JR Pass that only allows tourists to use it, anyone visiting Osaka can take advantage of the Osaka Amazing Pass. However, if you’re traveling with kids below the age of 12, you’ll also need to get the Enjoy Eco Card for kids to use the public transportation (kids under two years old travel for free). All kids under 12 will also require tickets to gain entry into most attractions.

How can I buy the Osaka Amazing Pass?

Osaka Shinsekai

You could redeem your pass at the JTR counters at Kansai International Airport or the Edion Namba Tourist Information Center in Osaka. You could also redeem the passes at Narita International Airport and Haneda Airport in Tokyo, as well as at Nagoya Airport.

The one day pass is valid from the earliest opening hours of an attraction until the last admission within the day. It’s also the same for the transportation — it starts from your first commute until the last departure within a day (around 5.00 a.m to 12.00 a.m). The two-day pass also works similarly, from the earliest opening hours of an attraction until the last admission of the second day. When using for transportation, it is valid from the first service of the first day to the last service of the following day (not for 48 hours from the time first used).

So… is it worth it?

Osaka Amazing Pass

By showing the Osaka Amazing Pass, you can visit up to 50 tourist attractions! Nevertheless, it is impossible to visit them all in just two days, so you need to plan your route maximize the value of the pass.

Japan’s transportation network is known to be extensive. As such, the Osaka Amazing Pass is also your best option to easily travel around the city via the trains and the bus.
