Osaka
I purchased a ticket for two days. At Osaka Castle, I was able to go straight to the main keep thanks to the benefits of having a pass, while I saw a long line of people waiting (by the way, I had to wait 30 minutes to buy the ticket at 9 AM). The train was also sufficient for getting around Osaka! Overall, it was a great deal!
2日間用のチケットを購入。大阪城では長蛇の列を横目に、周遊パスを持ってる特典で、スーッと天守閣に行けました(ちなみにチケット購入に、朝9時の時点で30分待ち)。電車も大阪移動するには充分!とにかくお得でした!
Once you start using the pass, the countdown for the usage period begins, so it's better to do some research and plan ahead.
パスの利用をスタートすると、使用期間のカウントダウンが始まるので、下調べして、プランをなった方がいいです。
Osaka Castle, the water bus, and the pleasure boat are all worth it, so I recommend it for those who want to fully enjoy Osaka Castle! The subway was also smooth and comfortable! I hope there will be tickets available for children in the future.
大阪城、水上バス、御座船の3箇所だけでもメリット有りなので、大阪城を満喫したい方にはおすすめ!地下鉄もスムーズに乗れて快適でした!子供用のチケットも今後あればいいなぁと思いました。
At first glance, I thought it might be a bit expensive, but with the pass, you can ride unlimited on all trains except JR. When entering Osaka Castle's main tower, I was able to enter immediately without waiting in the long ticket purchase line, which saved me time.
On the day of my visit, I used the pass to go to Osaka Castle's main tower, take a ride on the Osaka Castle boat, visit the Osaka Museum of History, and go to the Cosmo Tower observation deck, making my sightseeing experience more worthwhile than the purchase price.
一見すると少し高いかなと思いましたが、周遊券があるとJR以外は乗り放題になります。大阪城天守閣に入場する際は、チケット購入の長い列に並ぶことなく、すぐに入場できて時間の節約になりました。
当日は周遊券を使って大阪城天守閣、大阪城御座船乗船、大阪歴史博物館、コスモタワー展望台に行き、購入価格以上にお得に観光できました。
I think it's a good idea to check free tourist spots in advance and plan your travel schedule accordingly.
無料観光スポットを事前に確認したうえで、旅行のスケジュールを立てるとよいと思います。
I used this service because my foreign friend was returning to their home country. The follow-up care after the reservation, including the confirmation email and reminder email just before the service, was thorough. The notifications about the completion of luggage pickup and delivery to the airport were perfect. However, the staff at the hotel seemed a bit inexperienced with this service; they explained that "the luggage must be picked up at 4 PM at the airport" (when in fact, it can be picked up anytime after 4 PM), which confused my foreign friend. That was the only downside.
外国人の友人が帰国するので利用しました。予約後のメールや直前のリマインドメール等、予約後のケアも行き届いていました。荷物のピックアップ完了、空港への配達完了の連絡も完璧でした。ホテル側のスタッフのこのサービスの習熟度がイマイチで、「空港で荷物は16時にピックアップしないといけない」(本当は、16時以降であれば、いつでもピックアップ可能)と説明を受け、外国人の友人が戸惑ってしまったことが唯一のマイナスポイントでした。
It is essential to carefully read the voucher sent after making a reservation. There may be cases where hotel staff have misunderstandings, so users need to have a solid understanding of the system.
予約後に送られてくるバウチャーはしっかりと読むことが必要。ホテルスタッフが間違った認識の場合もあるので、システムについては利用者がしっかりと理解しておくことが必要です。
The Osaka Amazing Pass is very convenient and easy to use, and the staff were kind and provided a lot of help. The entire trip was very comfortable, and I would like to purchase it again.
大阪周遊パスはとても便利で使いやすく、スタッフの対応も親切で、多くの助けをいただきました。旅行全体がとても快適で、また購入したいと思います。
I was able to purchase at a great price and had planned a tour, but it rained on the day, and I ended up getting lost while moving around with an umbrella, which caused some delays. However, I enjoyed the tour more than the price suggested. I would like to challenge the places I couldn't visit this time on my next trip.
お得に購入できて周遊プランを立ててましたが、当日は雨となり、傘を持ち道に迷いながら移動となったためロスタイムとなりました、でもお値段以上に周遊できて楽しめました。今回行けなかった場所に次回チャレンジしたいと思います。
There were no issues with Beltora, but it seems there were troubles with the pass itself, making it unavailable for a few days.
On the day I used it, it was operational, but there were moments when the QR code scanning camera function had issues, and I had to speak with the facility staff each time.
I visited several facilities, which totaled 4,200 yen (1,000 yen, 600 yen, 1,500 yen, 1,000 yen, and 600 yen), and the subway fare was free, making it a great deal.
There was a long line to enter Osaka Castle, but being able to use the QR scanning lane was the biggest benefit of using this pass (for other facilities, I had to wait in line normally).
ベルトラさんの不備は無いですが、周遊パス自体にトラブル発生して数日間利用不可だった様子。
私の利用日には運用出来ましたが、QR読み込みのカメラ機能の不具合が出たりして都度施設係員さんと話をしないといけない場面がありました。
施設数カ所、1,000円、600円、1500円、1,000円、600円の4,200円分と地下鉄料金が無料になったのでお得になりました。
大阪城入場に長蛇の列でしたが、QR読み込みレーンが、使えたのが今回の周遊パス利用最大の恩恵(他の施設は普通に並ばないといけなかった)
If you're planning to visit tourist spots in Osaka like Osaka Castle, Tsutenkaku, and Umeda Sky Building, this is quite a bargain! Most famous places can be easily accessed by subway, so with this card, you can have a great time.
大阪城や通天閣、梅田スカイビル等の大阪の観光地を巡るならかなりお得です!
有名な場所は、ほとんど地下鉄で行ける為、このカードがあれば充分楽しめます
It is available at all Metro stations, but I purchased it here because I could use my accumulated points. The exchange location in Umeda is open from 7:00 on weekdays, so it wasn't inconvenient. I started my sightseeing at Osaka Castle at 9:00, then visited the boat ride, Aqua Liner, Tsutenkaku, and the Floating Garden, making it quite a bargain when considering transportation costs.
メトロの全駅でも発売されているのですが、こちらだと貯まっていたポイントが使えたため購入しました。
引き換え場所は梅田だと平日7:00から行っているため不便はなかったです。
9:00から大阪城観光からスタートし、御座船、アクアライナー、通天閣、空中庭園と周り、交通費も考えると相当お得になりました。
The unlimited subway rides and the variety of facilities available for free made it possible to enjoy sightseeing all day long. There were many spots I wanted to visit, but since I couldn't go to all of them, I selected a few key places to explore. The Tsutenkaku Tower had a wait time of over 40 minutes, so I had to give up on that due to time constraints, but it has become a spot I want to visit next time. Considering the usual transportation and entrance fees, I think it's a great deal.
地下鉄に乗り放題だし、無料で体験出来る施設も
充実していて1日中 思い切り観光が出来ました。
行きたいスポットはたくさんありましたが、全部は行けないので 厳選した数箇所を巡りました。
通天閣は40分以上の待ち時間があって 時間の都合上あきらめましたが 次回機会があれば行きたいスポットになりました。通常の移動と入場料を考えるとお得だと思います。
There are many attractions around Osaka Castle that can be used for free, so by combining a boat cruise and entrance fees (for about two places), you can almost break even. Additionally, since you can use the subway, buses, and private railways within Osaka, depending on the location of your hotel, it might be worth purchasing this pass just for sightseeing at Osaka Castle.
The available attractions are somewhat spread out, but they are concentrated in the area, so I think it's better to target specific places to visit.
By the way, I injured my foot while trying to climb the Osaka Castle main tower, so I gave up on going up the tower.
大阪城周辺のアトラクションに無料で使用できるところが多いので、船クルーズと入場料(2か所くらい)の組み合わせで、ほぼ元が取れる。更に地下鉄・バス・大阪市内の私鉄にも乗れるので、宿泊先のホテルの場所によっては大阪城観光のためだけにこのパスを購入してもよいと思う。
利用可能なアトラクションがある程度散らばっているが、エリアに固まっているので、ターゲットを絞って行った方が良いと思う。
なお私は大阪城天守閣に登ろうとしたところで足を痛めたので、天守閣はあきらめました。
Get it if you are staying at Kyoto or Osaka and wish to travel to Nara.
It drops you off right outside Nara park.
It is much more centrally located than JR.
Good value too!
We made good use of the tourist buses
Great service. Having wifi for the duration of our trip was fantastic and made sight seeing so much easier.
It was super easy pick up and drop off at Narita airport. The device was small enough to fit in my purse and convenient to bring anywhere I went.
Though battery life was kind of short. I connected two devices. It was 10% by early afternoon. So I had to carry my backup battery charger which is heavy... I recommend to carry light back up battery with you.
The connectivity was not as steady as I expected. It may be the issue with SoftBank server. Sometimes very fast, sometimes super slow. Sometimes the device rebooted by itself.
Overall, I gave three stars because of the battery life and connectivity. But the cost was very reasonable and pick up/drop off was very convenient.
Best travel companion! This is my second time renting a wifi-router through veltra. No problem whatsoever.
Easy pick up at Narita and drop off at Haneda. No issues with WiFi - worked easily and was fast. Would recommend having a battery pack with you as charge can go down quite quickly.
Best value for getting around in Kansai region. Good price, nice routes, the bus passes is really what sets this apart though.
Got to use the bus in Nara but didn’t use train at all since no coverage west Kyoto
Awesome pass. Got us from Nagoya to Ise on trains. Then all around Toba area, buses and trains, then also to Nara by train. Really good value pass if you're doing a compact 5 day trip to the Mei area.
After I have ordered this pass online and I made 1 amendment online immediately. However, when I approached the ticket counter for collection, the System cannot recognise my order. Staff spent half an hour to issue a pass for me.
Kintetsu Rail Pass is a good choice if you travel bigger distances within the Kyoto/Nara/Osaka region. For example from Kyoto to Asuka.
I only have one complain. I thought I would get nice looking ticket as advertised (2-day pass in my case) but in reality when I picked up the ticket at Kyoto station, I only received a regular blue/turquoise ticket like all the other JR tickets.
It covers a lot of sightseeing point. Station staffs are helpful with English communication is not a problem. Easy to access, not a complicated network. Base on this ticket, you can pay more for a faster train, so it is flexible on you budget vs. time.
One word... PERFECT!!!
In the Netherlands ordered on internet
Activated in Japan and travelled five days by train
The only negative was finding the vendor in Narita! Once done, it was easy to get going and two of us used it extensively for 28 days covering lots of Japan. Besides seeming to work as well as any other pocket wifi, the fixed price for our time period was fantastic. Drop off was at Haneda, and much simpler than the pickup!
The router worked really well the whole time we were in Japan and made things a lot easier as always had WiFi internet backup. Delivery to our hotel and the return all went effortlessly and very efficient. Definitely recommend to anyone
It was great! Good coverage in the most of place I had visited. I will recommend for people who stay longer than 10 day or longer! Very inexpensive.
2 days travelling with this pass..every thing was perfectly arranged ..no need for nothing extra to ask..thank you!
Even without speaking any Japanese the passes where easy to pick up. Handed them the QR code and they gave us our passes.
Was able to obtain the router with little hassle, easy location for pick up. Had some issues using it on the Shinkansen but was able to log on to the free wifi available on the bullet trains. Would recommend. Much cheaper than other options seen online.
Good experience overall with easy pick-up and smooth usage - went to some more remote regions and it worked very well.
