Note that some facilities will require reservations in advance.

If you don't plan to visit any attractions covered by the pass, it won't be worth it as a transport pass alone. But if you have some time to explore and use the Osaka Metro, the pass can be a good investment.

Here are two examples:
1. If you visit the Umeda Sky Building (reg. 1,500 yen) and Osaka Castle (reg. 600 yen), using the Metro, the one-day pass will likely pay for itself. Adding one more attraction will save you money.

2. Starting at HARUKAS 300 Observatory (10% off), then going to Tsutenkaku Tower (reg. 900 yen), Osaka Castle (reg. 600 yen), and the Umeda Sky Building (reg. 1,500 yen), ending with the Wonder Cruise around Dotonbori (reg. 1,200 yen), the pass will not only pay for itself but also save you money.

There are many more examples where the pass will be beneficial, so keep reading to learn about the inclusions.

With a one-day ticket, you can ride the Osaka Metro and Osaka City Bus (excluding some routes), as well as the Hankyu, Hanshin, Keihan, Kintetsu, and Nankai train lines running within Osaka City.

Every location on this route is accessible via the Osaka Metro and would usually cost around 5,570 yen with entrance fees and subway fare, but with the 1-day Osaka Tour Pass, you’d save 2,770 yen!
