The pass also grants access to around 40 attractions, including Osaka Castle, the Umeda Sky Building’s Floating Garden Observatory, Tsutenkaku Tower, Tempozan Giant Ferris Wheel, and the Tombori River Cruise. Many other facilities and shops offer discounts or special deals for pass holders.
Using the pass is easy! You can seamlessly ride trains, buses, and enter attractions with just your smartphone through a service called "Surutto QRtto."
This service allows you to purchase tickets for transportation and tourist facilities via your phone and use them by scanning a QR code*. Simply select the ticket from your purchase list and display the ticket details to use it for rides or entry.
