Osaka
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
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
this review is for my trip from Nankai station in Namba to KIX airport. It was easy. Office to exchange voucher is right next to gate in the nankai mall near luxury shopping. Not crowded. easy to move around luggage. The coin lockers are not advanced tech and not numerous. Namba station is also near many shopping outside like Bic Camera and 2 blocks from Dotonbori.
The train ride was smooth and not crowded with nice reserved lounger seats.
Your voucher is exchanged at office where they schedule you a reservation on the luxury and fast train to the heart of Osaka. otherwise you will have to figure out your ride yourself and get lost. it saves time, easy to use, staff speaks English, and is comfortable. KIX is 40 minutes south of downtown and would be longer without Rapit
We went on 10/27/19 to their Halloween Horror Nights event. Not the same as Universal Orlando but we loved it. The atmosphere was electric especially at night. Unlike Universal Orlando your allowed to dress up in costume which made it very unique. Love Japan and will be back soon.
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.
Great Park, way too many people and the lines are ridiculous long, so be prepared!!! I have been to the park in Orlando FL and the lines for the rides are not as long as the ones in Japan... we managed to to ride approx 6 rides and 2 shows in 1 entire day.. Note some of these rides when available we went as single riders in order to avoid a long wait and get the most of our time.. Overall beautiful park and very clean.
The shows I do not recommend that you waste your time in line if you do not speak Japanese (no English speaking shows)...
This pass was not good value for us. We didn’t realise how little of Kyoto it covered (subways are run by a different company) and it not being able to use it in limited express trains, was inconvenient. Would have been cheaper to just use our Icoca cards and pay for each leg.
Your offering of the train ride to KIX Airport from Osaka City was much appreciated as an economical alternative to a limousine service! It was hassle-free, very accessible, comfortable & speedy. You should offer this in ALL major cities with train rides to an airport, I certainly would avail of this every single time.
Never expected that this show would be an entertaining one. The performers were good and they did well. Even if you do not understand Japanese you will still know what is going on. Really enjoyed the show. Highly recommended.
Awesome rides & great 4D experience. The best one is Harry Potter forbidden Journey. A must go place..
A must go place if you are roller coaster & 4D fan. Totally Adrenaline full experience..
This show is definitely a must see when you visit Osaka. The interpretation of the story was exceptional. The all-female cast truly captivated us with the brilliant beauty of Japan's history, culture and heritage.
It was also a very fun experience to have been selected from the audience to participate in the "fan dance".
Aside from their excellent interpretation, there was also an English subtitle on the background so that foreign audiences can easily follow the story along.
It was great, had English subtitles in the background to help follow along. A variety of characters. Had the chance to go onstage and be horrible at dancing with a fan.
It is value for money to trip in your rail loop. So comfortable and on time. Nice train and condition.
This pass is great for travel to kyoto and nara from nagoya.
We were a bit disappointed that it did not include reserved seats on express trains and we had to add money for that.
A very convenient and cheap option if want to see places of interest in kyoto, nara, osaka and the surrounding areas. Though it is a free seating, one can travel in comfort and most importantly, choose your own timing..
The Kintetsu staff were very helpful and even assisted to get a ramp for us at every station as we had a wheelchair.
