Thanks for bringing this to our attention! We noticed that there is now an Osaka e-Pass which works digitally and seems to offer similar attraction options. That may be something we'll look into in the future!
Very well-planned itinerary. However, I also added the Tsutenkaku slider, Legoland, and Osaka Housing & Living to my schedule (my family is going this May). In my opinion, on day 2 when you are in the Osaka Bay area, you could consider going to the Solaniwa Onsen at your own expense after 5pm at a discount.
Amazing how you squeezed in many places in one day. I doubt if people like me double your age can do it that fast.😔 You two did a great job featuring the Osaka Amazing Pass. Loved the video. Thank you.🌷Now a subsciber.
wish I can be organized and well planned like you two. great video, I learned alot. i was wondering, for each day, what time did you start and what time did you end your day?
Good question. A lot of attractions in Japan don't open early in the morning. We started at 10 am, which is when the ticket booth for the boat opened. We slept in a little and had breakfast too!
Great video! You just saved me a lot of planning !! :D Only one question: Do you think it would be possible to go to shinsenkai on the first day? Maybe castle in the morning (arriving at 8:30), Umeda sky building/HEP five mid-day/afternoon, and shinsenkai afternoon/night?
Logistically, it's definitely possible! Osaka has excellent public transport, and it doesn't take too long to travel within the city. Of course, it will depend on how long you stay at each attraction, but that is a very reasonable time frame. Check out our Osaka eats video for what we recommend in the Osaka Station, Namba, and Shinsekai area ;)
Nice video. Can I ask what exact month you went to Osaka? Your video was posted on May 2021 which "technically" is still spring season but you did say in your video that it is mid summer. Thanks.
Great question! We're slow in releasing videos because it's just the two of us working on this amongst everyday life - we were in Osaka all the way back in June of 2019. We'll look to be clearer around the dates of our visits in future videos!
All you need to do is use the ticket, and it activates! The first time we used it was going through the Subway gate. Easy peasy! This may have changed, so we recommend checking out the Osaka Amazing Pass website.
We have more details in our post which you can find linked in the description box. This Pass is only valid for 1 or 2 days, but Osaka has other travel passes that allow for transport-only for longer periods.
It will depend on what's available as the attractions change. We recommend checking out the Amazing Pass website for more details. Check our link in the description box!
there are 40 'free' attractions with the pass including free transportation. As long as your itinerary is well planned in advance, you could maximize the number of places for site-seeing.
Great question! Some do. The smaller attractions might not, because they may not have entry tickets at all. You can see in the video which of the attractions we went to gave us tickets.
During our trip you could only buy it at most major train stations in Osaka. This may have changed! We recommend checking out the Amazing Pass website.
