Osaka

Considering my wife and kids couldn't stand queuing in the sweltering summer heat, and we wanted to experience all the fun things to do in two days, we bought this service. Unexpectedly, my wife injured her foot before departure, but I still persevered and pushed her wheelchair to Japan. I fully experienced the VIP experience; it was truly worth the price. Our assigned guide, Koizumi, was Taiwanese, so there was no language barrier at all. He meticulously and considerately planned the entire itinerary for us, smoothly navigating the crowds and easily enjoying all the attractions. It was a wonderful experience. I think the 5-hour package plus dinner offers the best value, since dinner isn't included in the 5-hour time limit. It allows ample time to enjoy the attractions, watch the parades, and then have a high-quality dinner without having to queue.

Absolutely a must-have for Osaka and Kyoto travel!! It's very easy to use. You can pre-book Universal Studios tickets and enter directly by scanning the code. A special feature is the one-time fast pass, with a choice of four options, including the popular Minions Deluxe B. We chose Universal Studios popcorn, which allows you to exchange for three servings! After scanning the code to get a box of popcorn, the staff will give you two more popcorn vouchers, valid until the end of the month. If you don't use all of it, you can leave it for other friends – no waste! Regarding transportation, we used it on our return trip to Kansai Airport at HARUKA. You can book dates directly on your phone and even specify seats – super convenient!! The Enjoy Pass allows you to choose three things; we chose Tsutenkaku Tower, the Dotonbori cruise, and Sora-niwa Onsen. The advantage is that you don't need much communication; just show your phone to the staff, and they'll understand and process it quickly. For the Dotonbori cruise, be sure to book your time slot at the Don Quijote ticket counter first. Evening is the best time, so it's recommended to book your time slot beforehand, then go shopping and sightseeing. Sora-niwa Onsen is highly recommended!! If you have enough time, it's a must-have! The building is lined with shops on both sides, so you could easily spend a whole day there shopping before going for a soak in the hot spring. There are also restaurants inside the Kyoutei Onsen, but the food is rather ordinary. Note: An additional fee applies on certain dates, and a 150 yen onsen tax is required for all dates!

I used Kkday's Kansai Enjoy Pass to experience the Kyoto Railway Museum and Kōtei Onsen, and also redeemed Nana's Green Tea matcha ice cream, matcha milk tea, latte, and other treats – it was excellent value for money. The entire redemption process was simple and quick; just show the QR code to use it. It's very convenient, and I highly recommend buying it when traveling to Kansai!

This Street Kart experience is extremely fun and unique. Riding a go-kart through city streets lets you enjoy authentic Japanese street views. Plenty of lovely spots to stop and take photos. It is a special way to explore the city, highly recommended.

Universal Studios tickets can be scanned directly with a QR code for entry. It was incredibly crowded during the summer holidays, but we were lucky enough to get to ride several of the most popular attractions – Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey, Jaws, Minions… However, the weather was fantastic, so it was very hot, with hardly any shade. The restaurants were packed at lunchtime, and the reservation system for the Nintendo area was completely inaccessible due to high traffic. This really needs improvement. Overall, it's a great place to bring kids; they'll have a blast!
