Stop buying a separate ticket at every attraction. With a single Osaka e-Pass, just show one QR code on your phone and walk straight into Umeda Sky Building, the HEP FIVE Ferris Wheel, the Tombori River Cruise, Tsutenkaku and more — and you save money, too.
In Osaka you'll want to combine a few of the big sights — an observation deck, a cruise, a Ferris wheel. Buying each ticket separately means queuing, cash and language barriers every time. With the Osaka e-Pass you just tap through on one QR code — and the individual prices add up to far more than the pass.
Based on visiting Umeda Sky Building, the HEP FIVE Ferris Wheel and the Tombori River Cruise.
*Please check each facility's latest hours and conditions.
No need to lock in your route in advance. Switch to an indoor spot if it rains or gets crowded — pick what suits the day.
Just show the QR code at the gate. No fumbling for cash, no buying a new ticket at every single spot.
Umeda, Dotonbori, Shinsekai and more — the spots that are hard to miss on a first trip are all covered.
Packing Osaka into one day? Go with the 1-Day pass. Arriving in the afternoon or staying another day? The 2-Day is the easy pick — it's only ¥600 more, so there's plenty of room to take your time.
¥2,400
For seeing Osaka's headline spots from morning to evening. Ideal if you're on a short stay and want to move efficiently.
¥3,000
For taking it at your own pace across two days. No rushing — just enjoy Osaka without trying to cram it all in.
Observation decks, cruises, Tsutenkaku, the zoo, museums and more — 25+ facilities are included. Start with the favorites below, then pick by category for whatever you want to add to your trip.
No paper ticket to pick up. Buy online, get a digital ticket on your phone, and show it at each attraction. That's it.
Choose the 1-Day or 2-Day pass to match your dates and itinerary.
Your digital ticket arrives by email. Have it ready to show on your phone on the day.
Present the QR code at each attraction. Some spots may need a quick exchange or check-in.
Use each included facility once within the valid period. Do check opening hours and closing days.
The pass is easy to use — a little planning makes it even smoother. In particular, check transport costs, validity times and each facility's operating status in advance.
We did the Umeda Sky Building, the Tombori River Cruise and Tsutenkaku in one day. No buying tickets at each place — just showed the QR code and walked in.
We landed in the afternoon, so the 2-Day was perfect. Dotonbori the first evening, Tennoji the next day — no rushing, and no language struggles at the counters.
It rained, but we just switched to indoor museums — all on the same pass. As long as your phone's charged, deciding on the day works great.
We focused on family-friendly spots like Tennoji Zoo and the Ferris wheel. Just showing the phone at the gate made everything so much easier with kids.
Even with just two or three stops it clearly paid for itself. Simple to understand, and it nudged us to visit places we'd have skipped otherwise.
Seeing the price comparison before buying was reassuring. Being able to decide where to go on the day suited a first visit to Osaka perfectly.
