If you’re planning a trip to Osaka, the sightseeing Osaka e-Pass is a must-have.

During my visit to Osaka, I found the sightseeing Osaka e-Pass both easy to use and a great way to save money. The 2-day pass I purchased covered many of the attractions I wanted to see. Most of these places have entrance fees, and without the Osaka e-Pass, I would have spent significantly more on admissions.
