If you want to spend a whole day exploring Osaka, then the Enjoy Eco Card is a good choice. It provides unlimited use of the subways, tram and buses for 1 day. It also includes some discounts to tourist spots in this large city.
What does it cost?
Enjoy Eco Card: Adults 800 yen (600 yen on weekends and national holidays), Children 300 yen
Special Osaka Visitors’ Ticket (available outside Japan only): Adults (only) 550 yen
When can I use it?
Anytime.
Is it worth it?
If you want to go to 3 or more places in one day, then you will start to save money with this pass. Otherwise it’s best just to get individual tickets
What are the rules?
- Not usable on JR, Kintetsu or Nankai trains.
Where can I buy it?
You can buy the Enjoy Eco Card at any Osaka subway or tram station at the ticket vending machines (English usually available).
The Osaka Visitors’ Ticket is available to buy outside of Japan, and well as tourist information centers in Osaka.
How do I use it?
Insert the ticket into the hole on the ticket gate, then take it out from the other side. For buses, show to the bus driver as you enter and exit the bus.
