The Osaka Amazing Pass combines unlimited transport in Osaka with free entry to around 40 attractions. It has been refreshed for 2026, and the prices are higher than older guides say. Here is what it costs now, and how to tell whether it pays off for your plans.
At a glance

Prices
| Pass | Price |
|---|---|
| Standard, 1 day | ¥3,500 |
| Standard, 2 days | ¥5,000 |
| Itami Airport version, 1 day | ¥3,800 |
| Itami Airport version, 2 days | ¥5,400 |
| Kansai Airport version, 28 hours | ¥5,300 (sales from October 1, 2026) |
The standard pass is sold from March 25, 2026 to March 31, 2027. Older guides may quote ¥2,500 and ¥3,300: those prices belong to the old pass and are out of date.
The Kansai Airport version adds a one-way Nankai ride from Kansai Airport to Namba on top of the standard benefits. The Itami Airport version adds Osaka Monorail and a few other segments.
What transport is covered
Unlimited rides on:
- Osaka Metro and Osaka city buses (some routes excluded)
- New Tram
- Hankyu, Hanshin, Keihan, Kintetsu and Nankai trains, mainly within Osaka City
Not covered: JR lines are not on the pass's list of covered railways, and reserved-seat limited express trains need an extra fee.
Attractions
The pass includes free entry to about 40 attractions. Two of the biggest:
| Attraction | Normal price | Hours |
|---|---|---|
| Osaka Castle Museum (includes the main tower) | ¥1,200 | 9:00–18:00 (last entry 17:30) |
| Umeda Sky Building Floating Garden | ¥2,000 adult, ¥500 child | 9:30–22:30 |
At Umeda Sky Building, the pass gives free entry until 15:00 and a 10% discount after 15:00.
Universal Studios Japan is not part of the pass.
Is it worth it?
Use the attractions you actually plan to visit to do the math.
| Plan | Normal cost |
|---|---|
| Osaka Castle Museum | ¥1,200 |
| Umeda Sky Building Floating Garden | ¥2,000 |
| Two attractions | ¥3,200 |
| Pass price (1 day) | ¥3,500 |
Two big attractions alone nearly pay for the pass. Add a few subway or private railway rides and a third attraction, and it quickly pays off. A packed sightseeing day can clearly beat ¥3,500.
It is not worth it if you plan to visit only one paid attraction, or you will spend the day at Universal Studios.
